  2. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

    A conformal map acting on a rectangular grid. Note that the orthogonality of the curved grid is retained. While vector operations and physical laws are normally easiest to derive in Cartesian coordinates, non-Cartesian orthogonal coordinates are often used instead for the solution of various problems, especially boundary value problems, such as those arising in field theories of quantum ...

  3. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    For example, given a = f(x) = a 0 x 0 + a 1 x 1 + ··· and b = g(x) = b 0 x 0 + b 1 x 1 + ···, the product ab is a specific value of W(x) = f(x)g(x). One may easily find points along W(x) at small values of x, and interpolation based on those points will yield the terms of W(x) and the specific product ab. As fomulated in Karatsuba ...

  4. Jacobi polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_polynomials

    Plot of the Jacobi polynomial function (,) with = and = and = in the complex plane from to + with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. In mathematics, Jacobi polynomials (occasionally called hypergeometric polynomials) (,) are a class of classical orthogonal polynomials.

  5. Orthogonal polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_polynomials

    Orthogonal polynomials with matrices have either coefficients that are matrices or the indeterminate is a matrix. There are two popular examples: either the coefficients { a i } {\displaystyle \{a_{i}\}} are matrices or x {\displaystyle x} :

  6. Orthogonal functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_functions

    Plot of the Chebyshev rational functions of order n=0,1,2,3 and 4 between x=0.01 and 100. Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials provide orthogonal families for the interval [−1, 1] while occasionally orthogonal families are required on [0, ∞). In this case it is convenient to apply the Cayley transform first, to bring the argument into [−1, 1].

  7. Orthogonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality

    The line segments AB and CD are orthogonal to each other. In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of perpendicularity.Whereas perpendicular is typically followed by to when relating two lines to one another (e.g., "line A is perpendicular to line B"), [1] orthogonal is commonly used without to (e.g., "orthogonal lines A and B").

  8. Haar wavelet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haar_wavelet

    Here is the reason for orthogonality: when the two supporting intervals , and , are not equal, then they are either disjoint, or else the smaller of the two supports, say ,, is contained in the lower or in the upper half of the other interval, on which the function , remains constant. It follows in this case that the product of these two Haar ...

  9. Rodrigues' formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_formula

    Let (()) = be a sequence of orthogonal polynomials defined on the interval [,] satisfying the orthogonality condition () =,, where () is a suitable weight function, is a constant depending on , and , is the Kronecker delta.
