# BVOrthogonalizeColumn

Orthogonalize one of the column vectors with respect to the previous ones.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVOrthogonalizeColumn(BV bv,PetscInt j,PetscScalar *H,PetscReal *norm,PetscBool *lindep)

Collective on BV

### Input Parameters

| bv | - the basis vectors context
| j | - index of column to be orthogonalized

### Output Parameters

| H | - (optional) coefficients computed during orthogonalization
| norm | - (optional) norm of the vector after being orthogonalized
| lindep | - (optional) flag indicating that refinement did not improve the quality of orthogonalization

### Notes

This function applies an orthogonal projector to project vector V[j] onto the orthogonal complement of the span of the columns of V[0..j-1], where V[.] are the vectors of BV. The columns V[0..j-1] are assumed to be mutually orthonormal.

Leading columns V[0..l-1] also participate in the orthogonalization.

If a non-standard inner product has been specified with BVSetMatrix(), then the vector is B-orthogonalized, using the non-standard inner product defined by matrix B. The output vector satisfies V[j]'*B*V[0..j-1] = 0.

This routine does not normalize the resulting vector.
