  2. 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} .

  3. 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 ...

  4. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    The conjugate gradient method with a trivial modification is extendable to solving, given complex-valued matrix A and vector b, the system of linear equations = for the complex-valued vector x, where A is Hermitian (i.e., A' = A) and positive-definite matrix, and the symbol ' denotes the conjugate transpose.

  5. Orthogonalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonalization

    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 ...

  6. Orthogonal functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_functions

    In mathematics, orthogonal functions belong to a function space that is a vector space equipped with a bilinear form. When the function space has an interval as the domain , the bilinear form may be the integral of the product of functions over the interval:

  7. 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.

  8. Orthogonal trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_trajectory

    Suitable methods for the determination of orthogonal trajectories are provided by solving differential equations. The standard method establishes a first order ordinary differential equation and solves it by separation of variables. Both steps may be difficult or even impossible. In such cases one has to apply numerical methods.

  9. Gauss pseudospectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_pseudospectral_method

    The method is based on the theory of orthogonal collocation where the collocation points (i.e., the points at which the optimal control problem is discretized) are the Legendre–Gauss (LG) points. The approach used in the GPM is to use a Lagrange polynomial approximation for the state that includes coefficients for the initial state plus the ...
