  1. orthogonal vs orthonormal matrices - what are simplest possible ...

    Sets of vectors are orthogonal or orthonormal. There is no such thing as an orthonormal matrix. An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix whose columns (or rows) form an orthonormal basis. …

  2. linear algebra - Why are orthogonal matrices generalizations of ...

    41 I recently took linear algebra course, all that I learned about orthogonal matrix is that Q transposed is Q inverse, and therefore it has a nice computational property. Recently, to my …

  3. Why is the determinant of an orthogonal matrix always

    Oct 7, 2022 · I see, thanks, so basically, an orthogonal matrix is one that ensures that the modulus of the magnitude of the basis vectors obtained is always 1, right?

  4. Eigenvalues in orthogonal matrices - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The eigenvalues of an orthogonal matrix needs to have modulus one. If the eigenvalues happen to be real, then they are forced to be $\pm 1$. Otherwise though, they are free to lie anywhere …

  5. Eigenvectors of real symmetric matrices are orthogonal

    The statement is imprecise: eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix must be orthogonal to each other. Eigenvectors corresponding to the same eigenvalue …

  6. linear algebra - Why is an orthogonal matrix called orthogonal ...

    A matrix V V with mutually orthogonal columns is called orthogonal because it maps each of the standard orthogonal coordinate directions to a new set of mutually orthogonal coordinate …

  7. Are all eigenvectors, of any matrix, always orthogonal?

    May 8, 2012 · 81 In general, for any matrix, the eigenvectors are NOT always orthogonal. But for a special type of matrix, symmetric matrix, the eigenvalues are always real and eigenvectors …

  8. real analysis - Singular values of square orthogonal matrix ...

    Sep 27, 2013 · Orthogonal matrices are invertible square matrices, so their singular values are their eigenvalues. Their eigenvalues are complex numbers whose norm (i.e. absolute value) is …

  9. Why can't orthogonal matrices be complex? - Mathematics Stack …

    Jun 17, 2021 · I had the following questions in my mind next: Are all elements of an orthogonal matrix real? Why can't they be complex? Can a complex matrix be orthogonal? Any productive …

  10. matrices - Orthogonal matrix norm - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The original question was asking about a matrix H and a matrix A, so presumably we are talking about the operator norm. The selected answer doesn't parse with the definitions of A and H …
