  1. Usage of the word "orthogonal" outside of mathematics

    Feb 11, 2011 · I always found the use of orthogonal outside of mathematics to confuse conversation. You might imagine two orthogonal lines or topics intersecting perfecting and deriving meaning from …

  2. Difference between Perpendicular, Orthogonal and Normal

    Aug 26, 2017 · Orthogonal is likely the more general term. For example I can define orthogonality for functions and then state that various sin () and cos () functions are orthogonal. An orthogonal basis …

  3. linear algebra - What is the difference between orthogonal and ...

    Aug 4, 2015 · I am beginner to linear algebra. I want to know detailed explanation of what is the difference between these two and geometrically how these two are interpreted?

  4. orthogonal vs orthonormal matrices - what are simplest possible ...

    Sets of vectors are orthogonal or orthonormal. There is no such thing as an orthonormal matrix. An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix whose columns (or rows) form an orthonormal basis. The …

  5. orthogonality - What does it mean when two functions are "orthogonal ...

    Jul 12, 2015 · I have often come across the concept of orthogonality and orthogonal functions e.g in fourier series the basis functions are cos and sine, and they are orthogonal. For vectors being …

  6. What does orthogonality mean in function space?

    Mar 6, 2015 · I probably should have been clearer in what I meant. Still, one cannot "see" orthogonality from plotting the functions - they are orthogonal in function space; and orthogonal functions can be …

  7. Are all eigenvectors, of any matrix, always orthogonal?

    May 8, 2012 · In general, for any matrix, the eigenvectors are NOT always orthogonal. But for a special type of matrix, symmetric matrix, the eigenvalues are always real and eigenvectors corresponding to …

  8. Difference between orthogonal and orthonormal matrices

    The literature always refers to matrices with orthonormal columns as orthogonal, however I think that's not quite accurate. Would a square matrix with orthogonal columns, but not orthonormal, change the …

  9. Prove that the eigenvectors of a square real matrix A are orthogonal if ...

    Dec 14, 2022 · Note that this is more general than the usual orthogonal matrix has orthogonal eigenvectors or symmetric matrix has orthogonal eigenvectors in that A A need not be orthogonal or …

  10. What is orthogonal transformation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Mar 17, 2017 · The equation ATA = AAT A T A = A A T says that A−1 =AT A 1 = A T so, at least, orthogonal matrices are easy to invert. What does it mean? Matrices represents linear transformation …
