 Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra, a basis is a minimum set of vectors that, when combined, can address every vector in a given space.
The phrase Hamel basis is sometimes used to refer to a basis as defined above, in which the fact that all linear combinations are finite is crucial.
What is called an orthonormal basis is a set of mutually orthogonal unit vectors that "span" the space via sometimes-infinite linear combinations.

Basis is sometimes referred to as the price of a cash commodity at a particular location, relative to a specific futures contract, because it provides a measure of the local supply and demand conditions vs. the aggregate supply and demand situation depicted by the futures contract's price.

 Hilbert's basis theorem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In mathematics, Hilbert's basis theorem, first proved by David Hilbert in 1888, states that, if ''k is a field, then every ideal in the ring of multivariate polynomials k''[''x
Hilbert produced an innovative proof by contradiction using mathematical induction ; his method does not give an algorithm to produce the finitely many basis polynomials for a given ideal: it only shows that they must exist.
A slightly more general statement of Hilbert's basis theorem is: if R is a left (respectively right) Noetherian ring, then the polynomial ring R''[''X''] is also left (respectively right) Noetherian.

 The Experiential Basis of Theism
Nevertheless, in learning to form physical-object beliefs on the basis of sense experience we are, at least implicitly and in practice, accepting the proposition that the physical world exists (and that we are aware of it in sense experience).
The picture of the physical world and our perceptual relation thereto that is built up on the basis of sense perception is that of a realm of items that behave and interact (including interactions involving human percipients) in lawful ways that are, to a considerable extent at least, humanly discoverable.
Second, though its deliverances have provided a basis for the discovery of regularities that serve as a basis for prediction and control, that achievement has been slow in coming, given the whole stretch of human life on earth, and even now it is spotty.

 About BASIS
BASIS was designed as a general database/cataloguing program to facilitate the compilation, integration, and retrieval of systematic, biological, and bibliographic information for arthropods at and below the family level on a world or regional basis.
An advantage of BASIS is that users do not have to place author names in parentheses where required because the cataloguing program handles this automatically based on the cited name, currently accepted valid name, and status code entered for each record.
Included with BASIS is an 86 page 'distribution standard' that includes an alphabetical list of all the country and subpolitical names entered in the pick list and maps that show the location of all realms, countries, and subunits.

 Basis Sets
All basis set equations in the form STO-NG (where N represents the number of GTOs combined to approximate the STO) are considered to be "minimal" basis sets.
atomic orbitals as existing only as 's', 'p', 'd', 'f' etc. Although those basis sets are good approximations, a better approximation is to acknowledge and account for the fact that sometimes orbitals share qualities of 's' and 'p' orbitals or 'p' and 'd', etc. and not necessarily have characteristics of only one or the other.
As atoms are brought close together, their charge distribution causes a polarization effect (the positive charge is drawn to one side while the negative charge is drawn to the other) which distorts the shape of the atomic orbitals.

 SCM News: ADF paper: Optimized Slater-type basis sets for the elements 1-118
Seven different types of Slater type basis sets for the elements H (Z = 1) up to E118 (Z = 118), ranging from a double zeta valence quality up to a quadruple zeta valence quality, are tested in their performance in neutral atomic and diatomic oxide calculations.
The basis sets that are optimized for calculations using the frozen core approximation (frozen core basis sets) have a restricted basis set in the core region compared to the all electron basis sets.
On average, the use of these frozen core basis sets give atomic basis set errors that are approximately twice as large as the corresponding all electron basis set errors and molecular atomization energies that are close to the corresponding all electron results.
