Iwasawa decomposition: Difference between revisions

The '''Iwasawa decomposition''' KAN of a [[semisimple Lie group]] generalises the way a square real matrix can be written as a product of an [[orthogonal matrix]] and an [[upper triangular matrix]] (a consequence of [[Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization]]). It's name is taken after [[Kenkichi Iwasawa]], [[Japanese]] [[mathematician]], who deceloped this method.
