  2. 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:

  3. 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").

  4. Associated Legendre polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Legendre...

    When in addition m is even, the function is a polynomial. When m is zero and ℓ integer, these functions are identical to the Legendre polynomials . In general, when ℓ and m are integers, the regular solutions are sometimes called "associated Legendre polynomials", even though they are not polynomials when m is odd.

    Here the "shifting" function x ↦ 2x − 1 is an affine transformation that bijectively maps the interval [0, 1] to the interval [−1, 1], implying that the polynomials P̃ n (x) are orthogonal on [0, 1]: ~ ~ = +.

    Alternatively, when the inner product of the function being approximated cannot be evaluated, the discrete orthogonality condition gives an often useful result for approximate coefficients: = ⁡ (+), where δ ij is the Kronecker delta function and the x k are the N Gauss–Chebyshev zeros of T N (x): = ⁡ ((+)).

  8. 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 ...

  9. Orthonormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthonormality

    This definition can be formalized in Cartesian space by defining the dot product and specifying that two vectors in the plane are orthogonal if their dot product is zero. Similarly, the construction of the norm of a vector is motivated by a desire to extend the intuitive notion of the length of a vector to higher-dimensional spaces.
