Linear transformations Definition and 200 Threads

For transformations, A and B are similar if A = S-1BS where S is the change of basis matrix. For Lie groups, the adjoint representation Adg(b) = gbg-1, describes a group action on itself. The expressions have similar form except for the order of the inverses. Is there there any connection...

In https://www.math.drexel.edu/~tolya/derivative, the author selects a domain P_2 = the set of all coefficients (a,b,c) (I'm writing horizontally instead off vertically) of second degree polynomials ax^2+bx+c, then defines the operator as matrix to correspond to the d/dx linear transformation...

We learned that the condition of a linear transformation is 1. T(v+w) = T(v)+T(w) 2. T(kv) = kT(v) I am wondering if there is any transformation which only fulfil either one and fails another condition. As obviously, 1 implies 2 for rational number k. Could anyone give an example of each...
