What is the name of the process used to transform a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthonormal basis?
Show answer
Gram-Schmidt process
The Gram-Schmidt process works by iteratively subtracting the projections of a vector onto the previously determined orthogonal vectors. It is a key step in many numerical algorithms, including the QR decomposition.
