orthonormal basis

Last edited: August 8, 2025

An Orthonormal basis is defined as a basis of a finite-dimensional vector space that’s orthonormal.

Additional Information

orthonormal list of the right length is a basis

An orthonormal list is linearly independent, and linearly independent list of length dim V are a basis of V. \(\blacksquare\)

Writing a vector as a linear combination of orthonormal basis

According to Axler, this result is why there’s so much hoopla about orthonormal basis.

Result and Motivation

For any basis of \(V\), and a vector \(v \in V\), we by basis spanning have:

P vs. NP

Polynomial Time \(P\) vs Non-Polynomial Time \(NP\)

  • \(P\) are the problems that can be efficiently solved
  • \(NP\) are the problems where proposed solutions can be efficiently verified

so! is \(P=NP\)?

If this is true, there are some consequences:

  • proving can be automated
  • cryptography would be able to be automated easily

anywhere there is a problem can be globally optimized. This is too good to be true, so probably \(P \neq NP\).

We can use the scalars of a polynomial to build a new operator, which scales copies of an operator with the coefficients \(a_{j}\) of the polynomial.

constituents

  • \(p(z) = a_{0} + a_{1}z + a_{2}z^{2} + \cdots + a_{m}z^{m}\), a polynomial for \(z \in \mathbb{F}\)
  • \(T \in \mathcal{L}(V)\)

requirements

\(p(T)\) is an operator refined by:

\begin{equation} p(T) = a_{0} I + a_{1} T + a_{2} T^{2} + \cdots + a_{m} T^{m} \end{equation}

where, \(T^{m}\) is the power of operator
