Transform theory
In mathematics, transform theory is the study of transforms. The essence of transform theory is that by a suitable choice of basis for a vector space a problem may be simplified—or diagonalized as in spectral theory.
Spectral theory
In spectral theory, the spectral theorem says that if A is an n×n self-adjoint matrix, there is an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors of A. This implies that A is diagonalizable.
Furthermore, each eigenvalue is real.
