I am brushing up this topic. I want to verify both orthogonality between two functions and an orthogonal set ALWAYS have to be with respect to the specified interval...[a,b].
That is, a set of {1, ##\cos n\theta##, ##\sin m\theta##} is an orthogonal set IF AND ONLY IF ##\theta## on [##-\pi,\;\pi##]. Where n and m are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...
{##\cos n\theta##, ##\sin m\theta##} is not an Orthogonal set on [##0,\;\pi##]}
Also, the interval [a,b] does not have to be symmetrical to define orthogonality or an orthogonal set...That is... a doesn't has to equal to b.
Thanks
