Adjoint equation
From Glossary of Meteorology
adjoint equation[edit | edit source]
An equation of the form x0 = 𝗟Tx1, in which the linear operator 𝗟T is the adjoint of the matrix operator 𝗟 that satisfies (𝗟Tx1,x0) = (x1,𝗟x0), where x0 and x1 are vectors and (,) represents an inner product.
If (,) is the standard dot product (Euclidean inner product) then 𝗟T is simply the transpose of 𝗟.
