Quasiorthogonal dimension
Abstrakt
An interval approach to the concept of dimension is presented. The concept of quasiorthogonal dimension is obtained by relaxing exact orthogonality so that angular distances between unit vectors are constrained to a fixed closed symmetric interval about pi/2. An exponential number of such quasiorthogonal vectors exist as the Euclidean dimension increases. Lower bounds on quasiorthogonal dimension are proven using geometry of high-dimensional spaces and a separate argument is given utilizing graph theory. Related notions are reviewed.
