This module discusses the different types of basis that leads up to the definition of an orthonormal basis. Examples are given and the useful of the orthonormal basis is discussed.

Normalized basis

Normalized Basis
a basis b i where each b i has unit norm
i i b i 1
The concept of basis applies to all vector spaces . The concept of normalized basis applies only to normed spaces .
You can always normalize a basis: just multiply each basis vector by a constant, such as 1 b i

We are given the following basis: b 0 b 1 1 1 1 -1 Normalized with 2 norm: b ~ 0 1 2 1 1 b ~ 1 1 2 1 -1 Normalized with 1 norm: b ~ 0 1 2 1 1 b ~ 1 1 2 1 -1

Orthogonal basis

Orthogonal Basis
a basis b i in which the elements are mutually orthogonal i i j b i b j 0
The concept of orthogonal basis applies only to Hilbert Spaces .

Standard basis for 2 , also referred to as 2 0 1 : b 0 1 0 b 1 0 1 b 0 b 1 i 1 0 b 0 i b 1 i 1 0 0 1 0

Orthonormal basis

Pulling the previous two sections (definitions) together, we arrive at the most important and useful basis type:

Orthonormal Basis
a basis that is both normalized and orthogonal i i b i 1 i i j b i b j
We can shorten these two statements into one: b i b j δ i j where δ i j 1 i j 0 i j Where δ i j is referred to as the Kronecker delta function and is also often written as δ i j .

Beauty of orthonormal bases

Orthonormal bases are very easy to deal with! If b i is an orthonormal basis, we can write for any x

x i α i b i
It is easy to find the α i :
x b i k α k b k b i k α k b k b i
where in the above equation we can use our knowledge of thedelta function to reduce this equation: b k b i δ i k 1 i k 0 i k
x b i α i
Therefore, we can conclude the following important equation for x :
x i x b i b i
The α i 's are easy to compute (no interaction between the b i 's)

Given the following basis: b 0 b 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 -1 represent x 3 2

Slightly modified fourier series

We are given the basis n 1 T ω 0 n t on L 2 0 T where T 2 ω 0 . f t n f ω 0 n t ω 0 n t 1 T Where we can calculate the above inner product in L 2 as f ω 0 n t 1 T t T 0 f t ω 0 n t 1 T t T 0 f t ω 0 n t

Orthonormal basis expansions in a hilbert space

Let b i be an orthonormal basis for a Hilbert space H . Then, for any x H we can write

x i α i b i
where α i x b i .
  • "Analysis": decomposing x in term of the b i
    α i x b i
  • "Synthesis": building x up out of a weighted combination of the b i
    x i α i b i

Bhartdarshan' is an internet-based travel agency wherein customer can see videos of the cities they plant to visit. The number of hits daily is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 2,400 a. what is the probability of getting more than 12,000 hits? b. what is the probability of getting fewer than 9,000 hits?
