This tool calculates the orthogonal complement of a given vector space for you.
Orthogonal Complement Calculator
This calculator computes the orthogonal complement of a given matrix. An orthogonal complement of a subspace is the set of all vectors that are orthogonal to each vector in the subspace.
How to Use
- Select the matrix size you want to use (2×2, 3×3, or 4×4).
- Input the values of the matrix in the provided fields.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the orthogonal complement of the matrix.
How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Gram-Schmidt process to find the orthogonal complement. It iteratively adjusts a basis to be orthogonal to the matrix you have provided. It performs normalization of the resulting vectors to ensure the complement is accurately calculated.
Limitations
This calculator can handle matrices up to 4×4. For matrices larger than this, you will need more advanced software or tools for calculation due to complexity. Additionally, the precision of floating-point arithmetic may result in minor inaccuracies for highly degenerate matrices.
