Inner product space derived from a norm #
This file defines an InnerProductSpace
instance from a norm that respects the
parallellogram identity. The parallelogram identity is a way to express the inner product of x
and
y
in terms of the norms of x
, y
, x + y
, x - y
.
Main results #
InnerProductSpace.ofNorm
: a normed space whose norm respects the parallellogram identity, can be seen as an inner product space.
Implementation notes #
We define inner_
$$\langle x, y \rangle := \frac{1}{4} (‖x + y‖^2 - ‖x - y‖^2 + i ‖ix + y‖ ^ 2 - i ‖ix - y‖^2)$$
and use the parallelogram identity
$$‖x + y‖^2 + ‖x - y‖^2 = 2 (‖x‖^2 + ‖y‖^2)$$
to prove it is an inner product, i.e., that it is conjugate-symmetric (inner_.conj_symm
) and
linear in the first argument. add_left
is proved by judicious application of the parallelogram
identity followed by tedious arithmetic. smul_left
is proved step by step, first noting that
$\langle λ x, y \rangle = λ \langle x, y \rangle$ for $λ ∈ ℕ$, $λ = -1$, hence $λ ∈ ℤ$ and $λ ∈ ℚ$
by arithmetic. Then by continuity and the fact that ℚ is dense in ℝ, the same is true for ℝ.
The case of ℂ then follows by applying the result for ℝ and more arithmetic.

Predicate for the parallelogram identity to hold in a normed group. This is a scalar-less
version of InnerProductSpace
. If you have an InnerProductSpaceable
assumption, you can
locally upgrade that to InnerProductSpace 𝕜 E
using casesI nonempty_innerProductSpace 𝕜 E
.
Instances
Fréchet–von Neumann–Jordan Theorem. A normed space E
whose norm satisfies the
parallelogram identity can be given a compatible inner product.
