Inner Product Spaces
In this chapter, we extend those concepts of Rn
such as:
dot product of two vectors, norm of a vector, angle between
vectors, and distance between points, to general vector space.
This will enable us to talk about the magnitudes of functions
and orthogonal functions. This concepts are used to
approximate functions by polynomials – a technique that is
used to implement functions on calculators and computers.
We will no longer be restricted to Euclidean Geometry,
we will be able to create our own geometries on Rn
.
Ch7_3
7.1 Inner Product Spaces
The dot product was a key concept on Rn
that led to definitions of norm,
angle, and distance. Our approach will be to generalize the dot product of
Rn
to a general vector space with a mathematical structure called an inner
product. This in turn will be used to define norm, angle, and distance for
a general vector space.
Ch7_4
Definition
An inner product on a real spaces V is a function that associates a
number, denoted 〈 u, v 〉 , with each pair of vectors u and v of V.
This function has to satisfy the following conditions for vectors u, v,
and w, and scalar c.
1. 〈 u, v 〉 = 〈 v, u 〉 (symmetry axiom)
2. 〈 u + v, w 〉 = 〈 u, w 〉 + 〈 v, w 〉 (additive axiom)
3. 〈 cu, v 〉 = c 〈 u, v 〉 (homogeneity axiom)
4. 〈 u, u 〉 0, and 〈 u, u 〉 = 0 if and only if u = 0
(position definite axiom)
A vector space V on which an inner product is defined is called an
inner product space.
Any function on a vector space that satisfies the axioms of an inner product
defines an inner product on the space.
There can be many inner products on a given vector space.
Ch7_5
Example 1
Let u = (x1, x2), v = (y1, y2), and w = (z1, z2) be arbitrary vectors in
R2
. Prove that 〈 u, v 〉 , defined as follows, is an inner product
on R2
.
〈 u, v 〉 = x1y1 + 4x2y2
Determine the inner product of the vectors (−2, 5), (3, 1) under
this inner product.
Solution
Axiom 1: 〈 u, v 〉 = x1y1 + 4x2y2 = y1x1 + 4y2x2 = 〈 v, u 〉
Axiom 2: 〈 u + v, w 〉 = 〈 (x1, x2) + (y1, y2) , (z1, z2) 〉
= 〈 (x1 + y1, x2 + y2), (z1, z2) 〉
= (x1 + y1) z1 + 4(x2 + y2)z2
= x1z1 + 4x2z2 + y1 z1 + 4 y2z2
= 〈 (x1, x2), (z1, z2) 〉 + 〈 (y1, y2), (z1, z2) 〉
Ch7_6
Axiom 3: 〈 cu, v 〉 = 〈 c(x1, x2), (y1, y2) 〉
= 〈 (cx1, cx2), (y1, y2) 〉
= cx1y1 + 4cx2y2 = c(x1y1 + 4x2y2)
= c 〈 u, v 〉
Axiom 4: 〈 u, u 〉 = 〈 (x1, x2), (x1, x2) 〉 = 04 2

1 ≥+ xx
Further, if and only if x1 = 0 and x2 = 0. That is u =
0. Thus 〈 u, u 〉 0, and 〈 u, u 〉 = 0 if and only if u = 0.
The four inner product axioms are satisfied,
〈 u, v 〉 = x1y1 + 4x2y2 is an inner product on R2
.

mathematics to be able to discuss how far apart various
functions are.

7.2 Non-Euclidean Geometry and
Special Relativity
Different inner products on Rn
lead to different measures of
vector norm, angle, and distance – that is, to different geometries.
dot product ⇒ Euclidean geometry
other inner products ⇒ non-Euclidean geometries
Example
Let u = (x1, x2), v = (y1, y2) be arbitrary vectors in R2
. It is proved
that 〈 u, v 〉 , defined as follows, is an inner product on R2
.
〈 u, v 〉 = x1y1 + 4x2y2
The inner product differs from the dot product in the appearance
of a 4. Consider the vector (0, 1) in this space. The norm of this
vector is

2)11(4)00()1,0(),1,0()1,0( =×+×==

The norm of this vector in Euclidean geometry is 1;

Our approach will be to generalize the dot product of Rn to a general vector space with a mathematical structure called an inner product. This in turn will be used to define norm, angle, and distance for a general vector space.

    Ch7_4 Definition An inner producton a real spaces V is a function that associates a number, denoted 〈 u, v 〉 , with each pair of vectors u and v of V. This function has to satisfy the following conditions for vectors u, v, and w, and scalar c. 1. 〈 u, v 〉 = 〈 v, u 〉 (symmetry axiom) 2. 〈 u + v, w 〉 = 〈 u, w 〉 + 〈 v, w 〉 (additive axiom) 3. 〈 cu, v 〉 = c 〈 u, v 〉 (homogeneity axiom) 4. 〈 u, u 〉 0, and 〈 u, u 〉 = 0 if and only if u = 0 (position definite axiom) A vector space V on which an inner product is defined is called an inner product space. Any function on a vector space that satisfies the axioms of an inner product defines an inner product on the space. There can be many inner products on a given vector space.
