The first two steps of the Gram–Schmidt process. In mathematics, particularly linear algebra and numerical analysis, the Gram–Schmidt process or Gram-Schmidt algorithm is a way of finding a set of two or more vectors that are perpendicular to each other.
An alternative way to arrive at the same expressions is to take the first three derivatives of the curve r′(t), r′′(t), r′′′(t), and to apply the Gram-Schmidt process. The resulting ordered orthonormal basis is precisely the TNB frame. This procedure also generalizes to produce Frenet frames in higher dimensions.
More generally, we can factor a complex m×n matrix A, with m ≥ n, as the product of an m×m unitary matrix Q and an m×n upper triangular matrix R.As the bottom (m−n) rows of an m×n upper triangular matrix consist entirely of zeroes, it is often useful to partition R, or both R and Q:
Applying Gram–Schmidt one obtains an orthonormal basis (e i) for H. Let (H i) be the corresponding nested sequence of "coordinate" subspaces of H. The matrix a i,j expressing T with respect to (e i) is almost upper triangular, in the sense that the coefficients a i+1,i are the only nonzero sub-diagonal coefficients.
A Gram–Schmidt process could orthogonalize the columns, but it is not the most reliable, nor the most efficient, nor the most invariant method. The polar decomposition factors a matrix into a pair, one of which is the unique closest orthogonal matrix to the given matrix, or one of the closest if the given matrix is singular.
In numerical linear algebra, the Arnoldi iteration is an eigenvalue algorithm and an important example of an iterative method.Arnoldi finds an approximation to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of general (possibly non-Hermitian) matrices by constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov subspace, which makes it particularly useful when dealing with large sparse matrices.
In other words, the sequence is obtained from the sequence of monomials 1, x, x 2, … by the Gram–Schmidt process with respect to this inner product. Usually the sequence is required to be orthonormal , namely, P n , P n = 1 , {\displaystyle \langle P_{n},P_{n}\rangle =1,} however, other normalisations are sometimes used.
The Matlab implementation for the Gram-Schmidt process is for a specific norm and inner product definition (here being the Standard Euclidean Inner Product and by it's extension the 2-norm). Should be updated to reflect that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackMetalStats (talk • contribs) 00:19, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
