If yes–no questions are CPs containing a null yes–no question operator (a null counterpart of whether) in spec-CP, we can arrive at a unitary characterisation of questions as CPs with an interrogative specifier.
2004, Andrew Radford, Minimalist Syntax: Exploring the Structure of English, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, page 221:
-
(of a system of government or administration) That concentrates power in a single body, rather than sharing it with more local bodies.
a unitary authority
a unitary state
- (of an algebra) That contains an identity element.
-
(of a matrix or operator) Whose inverse is equal to its adjoint.
In essence we are looking for some way to average the individual unitary matrices Uₖ. But a linear combination of unitary matrices does not remain unitary.
2002, M. Klajman, J. A. Chambers, “A Novel Approximate Joint Diagonalization Algorithm”, in J. G. McWhirter, I. K. Proudler, editors, Mathematics in Signal Processing V, page 71:We then repeat the same procedure to the (d − 1) × (d − 1) block unitary matrix using (d − 2) two-level unitary matrices.
2008, Mikio Nakahara, Tetsuo Ohmi, Quantum Computing: From Linear Algebra to Physical Realizations, page 84:The eigenvectors of an orthogonal or unitary operator, corresponding to different eigenvalues, are orthogonal.
