Partial isometry
In functional analysis a partial isometry is a linear map W between Hilbert spaces H and K such that the restriction of W to the orthogonal complement of its kernel is an isometry. We call the orthogonal complement of the kernel of W the initial subspace of W, and the range of W is called the final subspace of W.
