  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics

    The expansion coefficients are the analogs of Fourier coefficients, and can be obtained by multiplying the above equation by the complex conjugate of a spherical harmonic, integrating over the solid angle Ω, and utilizing the above orthogonality relationships. This is justified rigorously by basic Hilbert space theory.

  6. 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} :

  7. 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 ...

  8. Orthogonality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of perpendicularity to the linear algebra of bilinear forms. Two elements u and v of a vector space with bilinear form B {\displaystyle B} are orthogonal when B ( u , v ) = 0 {\displaystyle B(\mathbf {u} ,\mathbf {v} )=0} .

  9. Self-adjoint operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-adjoint_operator

    with the real eigenvalues n 2 π 2; the well-known orthogonality of the sine functions follows as a consequence of A being symmetric. The operator A can be seen to have a compact inverse, meaning that the corresponding differential equation Af = g is solved by some integral (and therefore compact) operator G.
