K-frame
In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, a ''k''-frame is an ordered set of ''k'' linearly independent{{Citation needed, reason=Găvruţa's paper, which first defined k-frames, specifies that the vectors form a Bessel sequence for the range of the operator K, not that they form a Bessel basis. There are certainly k-frames which are linearly independent, but there should also be ones that are not linearly independent., date=August 2018 vectors in a vector space; thus ''k'' ≤ ''n'', where ''n'' is the dimension of the space, and if ''k'' = ''n'' an ''n''-frame is precisely an ordered basis. If the vectors are orthogonal, or orthonormal, the frame is called an orthogonal frame, or orthonormal frame, respectively. Properties * The set of ''k''-frames (particularly the set of orthonormal ''k''-frames) in a given space ''X'' is known as the Stiefel manifold, and denoted ''V''''k''(''X''). * A ''k''-frame defines a parallelotope (a generalized parallelepiped) ...

Linear Algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: :a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n=b, linear maps such as: :(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \mapsto a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n, and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental in modern presentations of geometry, including for defining basic objects such as lines, planes and rotations. Also, functional analysis, a branch of mathematical analysis, may be viewed as the application of linear algebra to spaces of functions. Linear algebra is also used in most sciences and fields of engineering, because it allows modeling many natural phenomena, and computing efficiently with such models. For nonlinear systems, which cannot be modeled with linear algebra, it is often used for dealing with first-order approximations, using the fact that the differential of a multivariate function at a point is the linear ma ...

Stiefel Manifold
In mathematics, the Stiefel manifold V_k(\R^n) is the set of all orthonormal ''k''-frames in \R^n. That is, it is the set of ordered orthonormal ''k''-tuples of vectors in \R^n. It is named after Swiss mathematician Eduard Stiefel. Likewise one can define the complex Stiefel manifold V_k(\Complex^n) of orthonormal ''k''-frames in \Complex^n and the quaternionic Stiefel manifold V_k(\mathbb^n) of orthonormal ''k''-frames in \mathbb^n. More generally, the construction applies to any real, complex, or quaternionic inner product space. In some contexts, a non-compact Stiefel manifold is defined as the set of all linearly independent ''k''-frames in \R^n, \Complex^n, or \mathbb^n; this is homotopy equivalent, as the compact Stiefel manifold is a deformation retract of the non-compact one, by Gram–Schmidt. Statements about the non-compact form correspond to those for the compact form, replacing the orthogonal group (or unitary or symplectic group) with the general linear group. Top ...

Orthonormal Frame
In Riemannian geometry and relativity theory, an orthonormal frame is a tool for studying the structure of a differentiable manifold equipped with a metric. If ''M'' is a manifold equipped with a metric ''g'', then an orthonormal frame at a point ''P'' of ''M'' is an ordered basis of the tangent space at ''P'' consisting of vectors which are orthonormal with respect to the bilinear form ''g''''P''..

Frame Of A Vector Space
In linear algebra, a frame of an inner product space is a generalization of a basis of a vector space to sets that may be linearly dependent. In the terminology of signal processing, a frame provides a redundant, stable way of representing a signal. Frames are used in error detection and correction and the design and analysis of filter banks and more generally in applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Definition and motivation Motivating example: computing a basis from a linearly dependent set Suppose we have a set of vectors \ in the vector space ''V'' and we want to express an arbitrary element \mathbf \in V as a linear combination of the vectors \, that is, we want to find coefficients c_k such that : \mathbf = \sum_k c_k \mathbf_k If the set \ does not span V, then such coefficients do not exist for every such \mathbf. If \ spans V and also is linearly independent, this set forms a basis of V, and the coefficients c_ are uniquely determined by \mathbf ...

Gram Determinant
In linear algebra, the Gram matrix (or Gramian matrix, Gramian) of a set of vectors v_1,\dots, v_n in an inner product space is the Hermitian matrix of inner products, whose entries are given by the inner product G_ = \left\langle v_i, v_j \right\rangle., p.441, Theorem 7.2.10 If the vectors v_1,\dots, v_n are the columns of matrix X then the Gram matrix is X^* X in the general case that the vector coordinates are complex numbers, which simplifies to X^\top X for the case that the vector coordinates are real numbers. An important application is to compute linear independence: a set of vectors are linearly independent if and only if the Gram determinant (the determinant of the Gram matrix) is non-zero. It is named after Jørgen Pedersen Gram. Examples For finite-dimensional real vectors in \mathbb^n with the usual Euclidean dot product, the Gram matrix is G = V^\top V, where V is a matrix whose columns are the vectors v_k and V^\top is its transpose whose rows are the vectors v_k ...

Parallelepiped
In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms (the term ''rhomboid'' is also sometimes used with this meaning). By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square. In Euclidean geometry, the four concepts—''parallelepiped'' and ''cube'' in three dimensions, ''parallelogram'' and ''square'' in two dimensions—are defined, but in the context of a more general affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated, only ''parallelograms'' and ''parallelepipeds'' exist. Three equivalent definitions of ''parallelepiped'' are *a polyhedron with six faces (hexahedron), each of which is a parallelogram, *a hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces, and *a prism of which the base is a parallelogram. The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all specific cases of parallelepiped. "Parallelepiped" is now usually pronounced or ; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Orthonormality
In linear algebra, two vectors in an inner product space are orthonormal if they are orthogonal (or perpendicular along a line) unit vectors. A set of vectors form an orthonormal set if all vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal and all of unit length. An orthonormal set which forms a basis is called an orthonormal basis. Intuitive overview The construction of orthogonality of vectors is motivated by a desire to extend the intuitive notion of perpendicular vectors to higher-dimensional spaces. In the Cartesian plane, two vectors are said to be ''perpendicular'' if the angle between them is 90° (i.e. if they form a right angle). 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. In Cartesian s ...

Orthogonality
In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of ''perpendicularity''. By extension, orthogonality is also used to refer to the separation of specific features of a system. The term also has specialized meanings in other fields including art and chemistry. Etymology The word comes from the Ancient Greek ('), meaning "upright", and ('), meaning "angle". The Ancient Greek (') and Classical Latin ' originally denoted a rectangle. Later, they came to mean a right triangle. In the 12th century, the post-classical Latin word ''orthogonalis'' came to mean a right angle or something related to a right angle. Mathematics Physics * In optics, polarization states are said to be orthogonal when they propagate independently of each other, as in vertical and horizontal linear polarization or right- and left-handed circular polarization. * In special relativity, a time axis determined by a rapidity of motion is hyperbolic-orthogonal to a space axis of simu ...
