Definition

Let $R$ be a ring.

Let $G$ be an $R$-module.

Let $\map {\LL_R} G$ denote the set of all linear operators on $G$.


Let $+$ and $\circ$ be the binary operations on $\map {\LL_R} G$ defined such that:

$+$ denotes pointwise addition
$\circ$ denotes composition of linear operators.


Then the algebraic structure:

$\struct {\map {\LL_R} G, +, \circ}$ is a ring

is known as the ring of linear operators on $G$.
