    How Can We Prove a Vector Lies in the Orthogonal Complement of a Subset?

    We are given that <s, s>≥ <v, s>+ <s, v> not that they are equal so really saying that <v, s>+ <s, v> =0 ( something we know will be true seeing as we are proving v is in the orthogonal complement of S) only shows that <s,s> can be 0 or anything greater than zero, not defiantly 0

    How Can We Prove a Vector Lies in the Orthogonal Complement of a Subset?

    I did for get to state that this was for all s in S. Could you explain a little more why <s,s>=0 would you be referring to the fact that we may be able to pick a case where v=s and therefor 2<s,s> ≤ <s,s> and this would only happen when <s,s> = 0 because <x,x> ≥ 0?

    How Can We Prove a Vector Lies in the Orthogonal Complement of a Subset?

    Homework Statement Let V be a complex inner product space and let S be a subset of V. Suppose that v in V is a vector for which <s,v > + <v,s> \leq <s,s> Prove that v is in the orthogonal set S\bot Homework Equations We have the three inner product relations: 1) conjugate symmetry...

    Verify that the Riesz vector is unique

    Homework Statement The Riesz representation theorem gives us that forall f in V* there exists a unique R_f in V such that f(x) = <x, R_f >. (<,> is my attempt to type inner product angle brackets) Verify that R_f is unique. Homework Equations If I knew the relevant equations I think I could...

    Is the dimension of two vector spaces the same if they have equal cardinality?

    This is not a homework question ... If two vector spaces, say V and W, have equal cardinality |V|=|W| ... do they then have the same dimension? That is dim(V)=dim(W)? I am struggling with making this call one way or the other. This is no area of expertise for me by any means so I know I...
