INNER PRODUCT A.G.Farhan . . .
DEFINITION1: Definition1 An inner product on a vector space V on F is a function: , that takes each two vectors u and v of V to a number and has the following properties: 1) Positivity: 2) Definiteness 3) Additivity in first slot:
4)homogeneity in first slot: 5) Conjugate symmetry: : such that geometrically
If EXAMPLES 1. then is inner product on a vector space on 2. If are positive numbers, then an inner product can be defined on by:
DEFINITION2 An inner product space is a vector space V along with an inner product on V. ; BASIC PROPERTIES OF AN INNER PRODUCT (a) For each fixed u V the function that takes v to is a linear map from V to F. (b) (c) (d) (e)
