orthogonality |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
orthogonalityIn mathematics, a property synonymous with perpendicularity when applied to vectors but applicable more generally to functions. Two elements of an inner product space are orthogonal when their inner product—for vectors, the dot product (see vector operations); for functions, the definite integral of their product—is zero. A set of orthogonal vectors or functions can serve as the basis of an inner product space, meaning that any element of the space can be formed from a linear combination (see linear transformation) of the elements of such a set.

Interval-level data will allow us to assess the orthogonality of the categories and to determine if a simpler structure underlies them. Across the room, as another source of light and views, more glass doors edge a small secondary patio, its curves contrasting with the orthogonality of the main one. The last step follows from the orthogonality of the Zernike polynomials. |
