``Re: homogeneous & addition formula'' by pahio on 2004-10-24 14:23:22
The "linear function" means often such that the values are determined by a first degree polynomial (cf. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function) when it is question of real functions. Therefore it is more certain to say "homogeneous linear".

This is in accordance with the entry "homogeneous function" --
such functions in general have a certain degree (the entry speaks of homogeneous functions of degree...); I wanted to speak of homog. function of degree 1, i.e. linear.
 So I said "homogeneous linear function" in the entry "addition formula".
