How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17676480 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Householder transformation
The Householder transformation is a linear algebra technique that uses reflections to orthogonally transform vectors and matrices, commonly employed in QR decomposition and numerical algorithms.
-
B.
rotation group SO(3)
The rotation group SO(3) is the group of all rotations in three-dimensional space, represented by 3×3 orthogonal matrices with determinant 1, and plays a central role in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and geometry.
-
C.
Schmidt orthogonalization
Schmidt orthogonalization is a mathematical procedure, also known as the Gram–Schmidt process, that converts a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthonormal set spanning the same subspace.
-
D.
rotation group SU(2)
The rotation group SU(2) is the Lie group of 2×2 unitary matrices with determinant 1 that serves as the double cover of the three-dimensional rotation group SO(3) and underlies the quantum theory of angular momentum and spin.
-
E.
Jacobi eigenvalue algorithm
The Jacobi eigenvalue algorithm is an iterative numerical method for computing all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix by applying a sequence of orthogonal similarity transformations.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
