Modified Gram-Schmidt

ID: modified-gram-schmidt

Modified Gram-Schmidt starts with and, for each retained orthonormal vector in order, replaces by . Each orthogonal projection coefficient uses the current remainder. In exact arithmetic, subtracting earlier orthogonal directions does not change the inner product with , so the final equals the Classical Gram-Schmidt remainder ; then divide by if it is nonzero.
