Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

The scalar product can be estimated by the associated norm:

$\displaystyle \vert\langle u,v \rangle\vert \le \vert u\vert\vert v\vert,\quad
\vert w\vert = \sqrt{\langle w,w\rangle}\,
.
$

We have equality if and only if $ u\parallel v$.
