1
[ noun ] a prediction made by extrapolating from past observations

Used in print

(Kenneth Hoffman and Ray Kunze, Linear Al...)

If the direct_sum decomposition ( a ) is valid , how can we get hold of the projections * * f associated with the decomposition ?

The projection * * f will be the identity on * * f and zero on the other * * f .

Thus the * * f are projections which correspond to some direct_sum decomposition of the space V .

If * * f are the projections associated with the primary decomposition of T , then each * * f is a polynomial in T , and accordingly if a linear_operator U commutes with T then U commutes with each of the * * f i.e. , each subspace * * f is invariant under U .

The reader should be familiar enough with projections by now so that he sees that * * f and in_general that * * f .
