An n-gon of a linear space is a set S of n points no three of which are coUinear. By a diagonal point of S we mean a point p off S with the property that at least two lines through p intersect S in two points. The number of diagonal points is called the type of S. For example, a 4-gon has at most th

โฆ Synopsis
The structure of a linear relation (multivalued operator) in a Euclidean space is completely determined. A linear relation can be written as a direct sum of three relations of different classes, which are Jordan relations, completely singular relations and multishifts. All three classes of relations are characterized in terms of the spectrum and their chain structure, which leads to a generalization of the classical Jordan canonical form.

The concept of orthogonality in normed linear spaces has been studied extensively by BIRKHOFF [3], JAMES IS], [7], [8], and the present authors [l], 151, among others. The most natural notion of orthogonality arises in the case where there is an inner product (-, -) compatible with the norm 11. 11 o
