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

Questions & Answers

Discuss the differences between taste and flavor, including how other sensory inputs contribute to our  perception of flavor.
John Reply
taste refers to your understanding of the flavor . while flavor one The other hand is refers to sort of just a blend things.
Faith
While taste primarily relies on our taste buds, flavor involves a complex interplay between taste and aroma

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include: 1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of

what's the difference between anatomy and physiology
Oyerinde Reply
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.

Mohammed Reply
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
