A note on comprehensive backward biorthogonalization (Q933852)

Summary: We present a backward biorthogonalization technique for giving an orthogonal projection of a biorthogonal expansion onto a smaller subspace, reducing the dimension of the initial space by dropping \(d\) basis functions. We also determine which basis functions should be dropped to minimize the \(L^{2}\) distance between a given function and its projection. This generalizes some results of \textit{L. Rebollo-Neira} [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 2004, No. 33--36, 1843--1853 (2004; Zbl 1079.46017)].
