Orthonormal Vectors

For a set of nn column vectors, they are orthonormal iff:

  • They are pairwise orthogonal AND
  • i{1,,n},vi=1\forall i \in \set{1,\dots,n}, ||v_i||=1
    For all nn column vectors their norm is 11

Orthonormal Matrix

A matrix where the set of all columns are orthonormal. Applies for both real and complex matrices.
