S. Chaturvedi et al., A NEW ORTHOGONALIZATION PROCEDURE WITH AN EXTREMAL PROPERTY, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 31(19), 1998, pp. 367-370
Various methods of constructing an orthonomal set out of a given set o
f linearly independent vectors are discussed. Particular attention is
paid to the Gram-Schmidt and the Schweinler-Wigner orthogonalization p
rocedures. A new orthogonalization procedure which, like the Schweinle
r-Wigner procedure, is democratic and is endowed with an extremal prop
erty is suggested.
