  2. Procrustes analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrustes_analysis

    a constrained orthogonal Procrustes problem, subject to det(R) = 1 (where R is an orthogonal matrix), is a method which can be used to determine the optimal rotation for the PS of an object with respect to another (reflection is not allowed). In some contexts, this method is called the Kabsch algorithm.

  3. Numerical methods for linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Orthogonal decomposition methods of solving the least squares problem are slower than the normal equations method but are more numerically stable because they avoid forming the product X T X. The residuals are written in matrix notation as = ^.

  4. Orthogonal Procrustes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_Procrustes_problem

    The orthogonal Procrustes problem [1] is a matrix approximation problem in linear algebra. In its classical form, one is given two matrices A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} and asked to find an orthogonal matrix Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } which most closely maps A {\displaystyle A} to B {\displaystyle B} .

  5. 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].

  6. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  7. Orthogonal polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_polynomials

    In mathematics, an orthogonal polynomial sequence is a family of polynomials such that any two different polynomials in the sequence are orthogonal to each other under some inner product. The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are the classical orthogonal polynomials , consisting of the Hermite polynomials , the Laguerre polynomials and ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Orthogonality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.
