Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization Algorithm
The Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization Algorithm is a constructive procedure within linear algebra that transforms any set of linearly independent vectors in an inner product space into an orthogonal or orthonormal basis spanning the same subspace. By sequentially subtracting projections onto previously constructed basis vectors, the method ensures mutual orthogonality through specific geometric relationships defined by dot products and norms. This theoretical framework serves as a fundamental mechanism for simplifying matrix decompositions, solving least squares problems, and establishing canonical coordinate systems in finite-dimensional vector spaces.
