An orthonormal system of functions $\{\phi_n\}$ on $[a,b]$ satisfying the conditions:

1) for any two functions $\phi_k$ and $\phi_l$ the system $\{\phi_n\}$ contains their product $\phi_m(x)=\phi_k(x)\phi_l(x)$;

2) for each function $\phi_k$ the system $\{\phi_n\}$ contains the function $\phi_m(x)=1/\phi_k(x)$.

Examples of multiplicative systems are the exponential system $\{e^{i2\pi nx}\}_{n=-\infty}^\infty$, which is orthogonal on $[0,1]$, and the Walsh system of functions.
