Orthogonality relation

Earlier, for Fourier series, we had the orthogonality relation among the Fourier functions ...

The orthogonality relations satisfied by solutions corresponding to the energies Et and Ef, are found from (10-393) and (10-395) to be... 

We will not be concerned further with the explicit forms of the co-representation matrices. Instead we need ask only to which of the three cases a specific representation A (u) of the group H belongs when H is considered as a subgroup of O. The co-representation matrices can be written down immediately once this is known. The irreducible representations of H can be obtained by standard means since H is unitary. It, therefore, remains to obtain a method by which one can decide between the three cases given the group 0 and an irreducible representation of H.9 In order to do this we need the fact that the matrices / and A (u) may be assumed to be unitary,6 and that the A((u) matrices satisfy the usual orthogonality relation... 

Since the Dirac notation suppresses the variables involved in the integration, we re-express the orthogonality relation in integral notation... 

As before, we apply the hermitian property of introduce the abbreviation and use the orthogonality relation (9.26) to obtain... 

We solve the recurrence relation (E.4) for Pi p), multiply both sides by Pi p), integrate with respect to p from —1 to +1, and note that one of the integrals vanishes according to the orthogonality relation (E. 18), so that... 

Based on this notion, Levy and Goldstein then developed a formula for the real number of pieces of information necessary to fix uniquely TV( 1,2,. . . , N) described in a real function basis. They wrote the number of independent parameters in Ik, is equal to the number of equations required to fix the cj) subspace. We now assert that this number is N(M - N) because there are N(M -N) orthogonality relations between the and the orbitals ... 

Although it is clear that there are N(M - N) orthogonality relations between the s and the L s, it is not clear why this is exactly equal to K, unless one has additional knowledge of < s and the ,s, but such knowledge would be incorporated in additional constraints which would have to be counted and would presumably alter the expression for K that was obtained. 

As a consequence, such examples show that the orthogonality relations (between vectors in different subspaces) alone, do not fix the S subspace. To do so, one would need some previous additional information on the basis which spans S and Sk That is to say, one would need to constrain the set of recovered O s to form a basis of the occupied subspace. This would then make additional orthogonality constraints within the subspace to take into account in the search for a K formula,... 

Let us now recall that h, and hj are orthonormal, and that an s orbital is orthogonal to every p, orbital. We can therefore write the hybrid orthogonality relation in the form... 

Since the transition moments of the antisymmetric and symmetric CH2 stretching vibrations and the methylene chain axis are mutually perpendicular, the average orientation angle y of the hydrocarbon chain axis around the surface normal is obtained to be 27° by the orthogonal relation... 

It is obvious that the character is the same for all elements in a class, and that it is invariant under similarity transformations of the representation. For the characters, the orthogonality relations (1) and (2) take the form... 

An orthogonality relation reciprocal to (4) also holds, namely... 

Summing over s and using the orthogonality relation (1), we find... 

Substitution of this into (17), summation over t, followed by k and l, leads, with the help of the orthogonality relations, the representation property of the D, and the definition (10), to the result... 

The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients satisfy the orthogonality relations... 

It is well known that for lossless media, all squared effective indexes are real, and for any transversally limited structure they form a discrete nongrowing sequence. The field distributions / (O and /i (0 of the m-th mode are mutually orthogonal, have the same phase at each point of the cross-section, and the set of functions corresponding to all modes is complete. The orthogonality relations can be taken in the form...
