Feb 3, 2019 at 19:36 comment added Roman @user64494 you're correct about the mathematical definitions (wiki link); however this is not how it's implemented in Mathematica. When I define F = Integrate[#1*ComplexExpand[Conjugate[#2]], {x, -Pi, Pi}] & to make the inner-product function linear in the first argument, as initially proposed, then the result is incorrect in the sense that F[S[[1]], S[[2]]] does not give zero.

Feb 3, 2019 at 18:56 comment added user64494 Look in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_product_space concerning linearity in the second argument. This property is not required.
Feb 3, 2019 at 18:49 comment added user64494 There is an example u = Orthogonalize[RandomComplex[1 + I, {4, 4}]] in the help.
