how could I do it? do I just put the coordinates of each orthonormal polynomial vector into a column, w.r.t. the standard basis?
for example, if my orthonormal basis is
$$\{1, 2x, 3x^2\}$$
Then is the first column of my orthogonal matrix just
$$[1,0,0]^t$$
the second column
$$[0,2,0]^t$$
and third column
$$[0,0,3]^t$$?
the matrix is obviously not orthogonal, just by inspection, but my basis is orthonormal for some specified inner product. so this is confusing me...
is refuted in Is there a representation of an inner product where monomials are orthogonal?
