Theorem 9

Projection theorem:

Let W be a finite dimensional subspace of an inner product space V and let y V. Then there exists unique vectors u W and z W┴ such that y=u+z. Furthermore, if {v1, v2, ..., vk } is an orthonormal basis for W, then


Proof:

Let { v1, v2, ... vk } be an orthonormal basis for W.

Let u be as defined by

  and let z=y−u.

Clearly u W and y=u+z

To show that z W┴.

 (i.e.) z is orthogonal to (every element in W) each vj For any j we have

 < z vj> = < y − u, vj >


= <y,vj> − <y,vj> ||vj||2

= <y, vj> − <y,vj> (1)

= 0

 < z, vj > = 0

z W┴.

To show uniqueness of u and z

Suppose that y=u+z = u'+z' where u' W, z' W┴.

Then u−u' = z'−z W∩W

u – u' = z' − z W∩W┴ = { 0 }

 u= u' and z = z'

 u, u' W and z, z' W┴

 u−u' W, z−z' W┴.

 

Theorem 10

The vector u is the unique vector in W, that is "closest" to y. (i.e) for any x W;

 || y − x || ≥ || y − u || and this inequality is an equality if x=u.

Proof:

From the previous theorem we have y = u+z, where u W, and z W┴.

Let x W then u−x W.          [ W is a subspace]

  u−x is orthogonal to z.

 [ z is perpendicular to every element in W ]

 ||y − x||2 = || u + z − x ||2

= || (u − x) + z ||2

= || x − x ||2 + || z ||2

 ≥ || z ||2 = || y − u ||2

|| y − x || ≥ || y − u ||

Suppose that, ||y−x| = ||y−u||

 || y − x ||2 = || y − u ||2

 || u + z − x ||2 = || u + z − u ||2

|| u + z − x ||2 = || z ||2

 ||u−x||2 + ||z||2 = ||z||2

 ||u−x||2 = 0

 ||u−x|| = 0

u−x = 0

 u = x.

Note: The vector u in the above theorem is called the orthogonal projection of y on w1.
