Reason: First publication. Symmetry of the bilinear form of a symmetric matrix, the identity xi.(A^2 xi) = ||A xi||^2, and the splitting inequality x.(Ax) <= xi.((A + eps A^2) xi) + (1/eps + ||A||) ||x - xi||^2, which is the inequality fixing the semiconvexity constant in Step 1 of the CIL appendix.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number and let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers with the order \le of their ordered field structure. On Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, a real vector space, write z+zz+z' for the sum of points, zzz-z' and zzz\cdot z' for the difference and dot product, and \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert for the Euclidean norm, abbreviating z2=zz\lVert z\rVert^{2}=\lVert z\rVert\cdot\lVert z\rVert.

Let AA be a symmetric real n×nn\times n matrix, write AzAz for the matrix-vector product, A2A^{2} for the product AAAA, P+QP+Q for the sum of real matrices, μP\mu P for the scalar multiple, and A\lVert A\rVert for the norm of the symmetric matrix AA. Let εR\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0<ε0<\varepsilon, so that ε1\varepsilon^{-1} exists by claim 7 of Elementary Order Arithmetic in an Ordered Field.

Then the following hold.

1. (Symmetry of the associated bilinear form) For all w,zRnw,z\in\mathbb{R}^{n},

w(Az)=z(Aw).w\cdot(Az)=z\cdot(Aw).

2. (Quadratic form of the square) For every ξRn\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{n},

ξ(A2ξ)=Aξ2.\xi\cdot(A^{2}\xi)=\lVert A\xi\rVert^{2}.

3. (Perturbation splitting) For all x,ξRnx,\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{n},

x(Ax)    ξ((A+εA2)ξ)+(ε1+A)xξ2.x\cdot(Ax)\;\le\;\xi\cdot\bigl((A+\varepsilon A^{2})\xi\bigr)+\bigl(\varepsilon^{-1}+\lVert A\rVert\bigr)\,\lVert x-\xi\rVert^{2}.
