Abstract
This paper considers certain linear and multilinear aspects of the classical isomorph rejection problem. Specifically, elements of a finite set S are considered as elements of a finite dimensional vector space. Some classical and more recent formulations of Bumside's Lemma are stated and proved in this linear algebraic setting. It is observed that the specialization of S as a finite function space yields a multilinear structure on the underlying vector space. It is remarked that the multilinear structure may be exploited to achieve Pó1ya-like counting theorems
