XXIII. 108 Orthogonality is that property of the design which ensures that the different classes of effects to which the experimental material is subject shall be capable of direct and separate estimation without any entanglement. 1935Pauling & Wilson Introd. Quantum Mech. 441 (heading) Proof of orthogonality of wave functions corresponding to different energy levels. 1962Corson & Lorrain Introd. Electromagn. Fields iv. 158 This property of orthogonality of the Legendre polynomials is important in evaluating the coefficients of Eq. 4-139. 1970G. K. Woodgate Elem. Atomic Struct. ii. 17 The spherical harmonics have the orthogonality property. 1972A. W. F. Edwards Likelihood vi. 106 Such cases may be expected to be rather rare..and the most important application of the concept of orthogonality is to the quadratic support surface. 1973Jrnl. Genetic Psychol. CXXII. 202 The correlations between the E and N dimensions are low enough to justify the assumption of orthogonality of these two dimensions of personality. |
