Several entities Mathématiques are described as square in reference to the mathematician Charles Hermite.

It is said that a form defined on a vector space complexes E is sesquilinéaire if (noting X, Y, Z of the vectors, and has, B of the scalars, i.e. complex numbers):
A square scalar product is a positive definite square form.
The two basic examples are , with
In theory of the Fourier series, it is more convenient to work with the that with the sines and the cosine, which explains the intervention of this concept in the spectral decomposition of Fourier.
The two basic properties of the real scalar product remain:
An operator U of square space E is known as square if:
The square operators play a big role in quantum Mécanique, because they represent the physical sizes. The eigenvalues (real) represent the possible values of the size and the clean functions (or vectors) the associated states.
In a orthonormal Base, the matrix of such an operator is equal to the Transposée of sound Conjugué (car-assistant). Let us note: . Then if , has is the matrix of a square operator.
For example, is a square matrix.
In particular, a matrix with real elements is square if and only if it is symmetrical.
A square matrix is orthogonally diagonalisable and all its eigenvalues is real; its own subspaces are 2 to 2 orthogonal.
The continuation of the Polynomials of Hermit, noted , is orthogonal for the scalar Produit defined by:
These polynomials are defined in such a way that is of degree N, the first of them being .
This continuation satisfies the following relations:
