Cauchy Schwarz Proof

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
  • This is one of my favorite math proofs! Usually the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is proven using projections, but this proof is completely elementary. It is taken from Pugh's Real Mathematical Analysis-book. But beware it doesn't work for complex inner product spaces. Bon appétit! :)
    Note: I forgot to mention: If a = 0, then v = 0, but then the statement is trivial.

    A way that I thought to prove this inequality when looking at the thumbnail is that with the the angle between two vectors x, cos(x)=|u * v|/(||u||||v||). So, |u*v|= cos(x)||u|| ||v||. Now, |cos(x)| is always less than or equal to 1, so when you multiply it to a separate quantity, you are scaling that quantity such that it is less than or equal to its original value. So, in the end, |u*v| is less than or equal to ||u|| ||v||

      Actually the angle is defined through the Cauchy-Schwarz-Inequality so you can't define it the other way around.
      ( |uv|≤||u|| ||v|| -> -1≤uv/(||u|| ||v||) ≤ 1 and -1≤cos(phi)≤1 so there exists an open set U where for all phi in U cos(phi)=uv/(||u|| ||v||) )
      The Proof only works for real Dotproducts because complex ones also conjugate the left vector.

    That's a great proof and all but what in god's name motivated that initial formula to begin with? This is what makes people think math is so inaccessible. Once you come up with that formula, everything else is just algebra, but no insight is given into the intuition or meaning behind the original key formula.

    • @drpeyam
      @drpeyam  7 років тому +2

      It's actually extremely useful in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations when you want to estimate the product of two things!
      Basically, think of it as follows: For a function f, let ||f|| = the square root of the integral of (f(x))^2, which you can think of as the 'energy' of f. Similarly we can define the energy of g, and finally define f . g = integral of f(x) g(x), which you can think of as the 'interaction' between f and g.
      Now suppose that f and g have finite energies, that is ||f|| < oo and ||g|| < oo, then the C-S inequality says that
      |f.g|

    • @vecter
      @vecter 7 років тому +1

      Thanks for that lengthy reply! I wasn't talking about the CS inequality itself which is immensely useful, I'm talking about the formula you introduce at 3:00. That is a black magic equation from which the proof magically falls out. What is the motivation or intuition behind the starting point of this proof?

    • @drpeyam
      @drpeyam  7 років тому +1

      Oh, I see! I agree, I did kinda pull it out of my hat, which makes the proof magical :P But I guess the intuition is that you want some inequality involving u and v, and that formula provides us with a good starting point!

    • @vecter
      @vecter 7 років тому +1

      Surely there must be some geometric intuition behind it also? I'll think more about it, but the intuition you just mentioned isn't really much of an answer tbh. I feel like the key ideas behind proofs always have some intuition behind them, which is what originally drove the person who dicovered that proof.
