:: The image of a linear combination under a linear transformation:
::
:: Ta1*v1 + a2*v2 + ... + an*vn
:: = a1*Tv1 + a2*Tv2 + ... + an*Tvn.
::
:: Linear combinations are represented as functions from the space to
:: the underlying field having finite support, so to define a new
:: linear combination it is enough to say what its values are for the
:: elements of W and to prove that its support is finite.
::
:: The only difficulty is that some values Tvi and Tvj may be
:: equal. In this case, the new linear combination should be the sum
:: of the coefficients ai and aj, i.e., lvi and lvj.
:: any subset of X.
