Mathematical Preliminaries
Chapter
Abstract
This subsection is devoted to introducing notation and definitions that are used throughout the book. Constants, variables and functions are boldfaced to show that they are vectors or vector-valued. Vectors are column oriented unless otherwise specified. For two vectors
the inner product,\(
\Sigma _{i = 1}^n{x_i}{y_i}
\), of x and y is denoted by x T y. Superscript T stands for the transposition. When x is a row vector, we write the inner product as x • y.
$$
x = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{x_1}} \\
\vdots \\
{{x_n}}
\end{array}} \right),{\text{ }}y = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{y_1}} \\
\vdots \\
{{y_n}}
\end{array}} \right)$$
