On spanning sets and generators of near-vector spaces
On spanning sets and generators of near-vector spaces
In this paper we study the quasi-kernel of certain constructions of near-vector spaces and the span of avector. We characterize those vectors whose span is one-dimensional and those that generate the whole space.
