For a finite-dimensional inner product space of dimension , the orthogonal complement of a -dimensional subspace is an ()-dimensional subspace, and the double orthogonal complement is the original subspace: =.
A set of vectors in an inner product space is called pairwise orthogonal if each pairing of them is orthogonal. Such a set is called an orthogonal set (or orthogonal system). If the vectors are normalized, they form an orthonormal system. An orthogonal matrix is a matrix whose column vectors are orthonormal to each other.
In mathematics, an inner product space (or, rarely, a Hausdorff pre-Hilbert space [1] [2]) is a real vector space or a complex vector space with an operation called an inner product. The inner product of two vectors in the space is a scalar , often denoted with angle brackets such as in a , b {\displaystyle \langle a,b\rangle } .
When the vector space has an inner product and is complete (is a Hilbert space) the concept of orthogonality can be used. An orthogonal projection is a projection for which the range U {\displaystyle U} and the kernel V {\displaystyle V} are orthogonal subspaces .
The left null space of A is the same as the kernel of A T. The left null space of A is the orthogonal complement to the column space of A, and is dual to the cokernel of the associated linear transformation. The kernel, the row space, the column space, and the left null space of A are the four fundamental subspaces associated with the matrix A.
If V is an inner product space, then the orthogonal complement to the kernel can be thought of as a generalization of the row space. This is sometimes called the coimage of T . The transformation T is one-to-one on its coimage, and the coimage maps isomorphically onto the image of T .
The Gram-Schmidt theorem, together with the axiom of choice, guarantees that every vector space admits an orthonormal basis. This is possibly the most significant use of orthonormality, as this fact permits operators on inner-product spaces to be discussed in terms of their action on the space's orthonormal basis vectors.

In linear algebra, orthogonalization is the process of finding a set of orthogonal vectors that span a particular subspace.Formally, starting with a linearly independent set of vectors {v 1, ... , v k} in an inner product space (most commonly the Euclidean space R n), orthogonalization results in a set of orthogonal vectors {u 1, ... , u k} that generate the same subspace as the vectors v 1 ...
