once i solve that one is the derivative of the other
but here its much harder to guess the formulla

i want to find the formula for the inner product which defines such norm.


?
 
i need to find alpha beta and gama
so this expression will be minimal

i know how to solve such stuff
usually
i have a vector and a subspace to make a projection of the vector

so i make an orthogonal basis and then i make a projection of that vector
into my space

and then the difference between that vector and the original vector is the minimal

but in order to do all that i need the
inner product formula which defines this norm.

usually i figured out the formula by guessing

but here i can't guess

so i am asking if there is a general method
?
