The Gram–Schmidt process takes a finite , linearly independent set of vectors S = { v 1 , … , v k } {\displaystyle S=\{\mathbf {v} _{1},\ldots ,\mathbf {v} _{k}\}} for k ≤ n and generates an orthogonal set S ′ = { u 1 , … , u k } {\displaystyle S'=\{\mathbf {u} _{1},\ldots ,\mathbf {u} _{k}\}} that spans

The inner product of two vectors in the space is a scalar , often denoted with angle brackets such as in ⟨ a , b ⟩ {\displaystyle \langle a,b\rangle } . Inner products allow formal definitions of intuitive geometric notions, such as lengths, angles , and orthogonality (zero inner product) of vectors.

For the Gram–Schmidt process as described above (sometimes referred to as "classical Gram–Schmidt") this loss of orthogonality is particularly bad; therefore, it is said that the (classical) Gram–Schmidt process is numerically unstable .

16675-595: The inner product is the dot product or scalar product of Cartesian coordinates . Inner product spaces of infinite dimension are widely used in functional analysis . Inner product spaces over the field of complex numbers are sometimes referred to as unitary spaces . The first usage of the concept of a vector space with an inner product is due to Giuseppe Peano , in 1898. An inner product naturally induces an associated norm , (denoted | x | {\displaystyle |x|} and | y | {\displaystyle |y|} in

16820-442: The inner product). Say that E {\displaystyle E} is an orthonormal basis for V {\displaystyle V} if it is a basis and ⟨ e a , e b ⟩ = 0 {\displaystyle \left\langle e_{a},e_{b}\right\rangle =0} if a ≠ b {\displaystyle a\neq b} and ⟨ e

16965-399: The inner products differ in their complex part: The last equality is similar to the formula expressing a linear functional in terms of its real part. These formulas show that every complex inner product is completely determined by its real part. Moreover, this real part defines an inner product on V , {\displaystyle V,} considered as a real vector space. There

17110-488: The interval [ − 1 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [-1,1]} can be expressed ( almost everywhere ) as an infinite sum of Legendre polynomials (an orthonormal basis), but not necessarily as an infinite sum of the monomials x n . {\displaystyle x^{n}.} A different generalisation is to pseudo-inner product spaces, finite-dimensional vector spaces M {\displaystyle M} equipped with

Given any x ∈ V , {\displaystyle x\in V,} the vector i x {\displaystyle ix} (which is the vector x {\displaystyle x} rotated by 90°) belongs to V {\displaystyle V} and so also belongs to V R {\displaystyle V_{\mathbb {R} }} (although scalar multiplication of x {\displaystyle x} by i = − 1 {\displaystyle i={\sqrt {-1}}}

Inner product In mathematics , an inner product space (or, rarely, a Hausdorff pre-Hilbert space ) is a real vector space or

18270-442: The picture); so, every inner product space is a normed vector space . If this normed space is also complete (that is, a Banach space ) then the inner product space is a Hilbert space . If an inner product space H is not a Hilbert space, it can be extended by completion to a Hilbert space H ¯ . {\displaystyle {\overline {H}}.} This means that H {\displaystyle H}

19575-618: The same subspace as the columns of the original matrix V {\displaystyle V} . The explicit use of the product V ∗ V {\displaystyle V^{*}V} makes the algorithm unstable, especially if the product's condition number is large. Nevertheless, this algorithm is used in practice and implemented in some software packages because of its high efficiency and simplicity. In quantum mechanics there are several orthogonalization schemes with characteristics better suited for certain applications than original Gram–Schmidt. Nevertheless, it remains

19720-1066: The second argument rather than the first. Then the first argument becomes conjugate linear, rather than the second. Bra-ket notation in quantum mechanics also uses slightly different notation, i.e. ⟨ ⋅ | ⋅ ⟩ {\displaystyle \langle \cdot |\cdot \rangle } , where ⟨ x | y ⟩ := ( y , x ) {\displaystyle \langle x|y\rangle :=\left(y,x\right)} .
