Records the weighted Young inequality for the dot product and deduces the inequality comparing the quadratic form of a symmetric matrix at a point with its value at a second point, with a squared-distance penalty.

Statement

We work in the setting of Real Matrices, Symmetric Matrices and the Semidefinite Ordering: Standing Notation, whose notation is fixed for every dimension and is used here with a natural number nn satisfying 1n1\le n: the real numbers, and Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} with its sum and difference of points, dot product and Euclidean norm \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert, the real matrices, their sums and scalar multiples, the product, the matrix-vector product and the square B2=BBB^{2}=BB, the set S(n)\mathcal{S}(n) of symmetric real n×nn\times n matrices and the norm P\lVert P\rVert of a symmetric real matrix, are all as fixed there. For BS(n)B\in\mathcal{S}(n) the matrix B2B^{2} again lies in S(n)\mathcal{S}(n), by Vector, Entry and Comparison Bounds for the Norm of a Symmetric Real Matrix §square.

Let BS(n)B\in\mathcal{S}(n) and let εR\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} be positive, so that ε1\varepsilon^{-1} exists and is positive by claim 7 of Elementary Order Arithmetic in an Ordered Field. Then the following hold.

1. (Weighted Young inequality) For all a,bRna,b\in\mathbb{R}^{n} and every positive tRt\in\mathbb{R},

2(ab)    ta2+t1b2.2\,(a\cdot b)\;\le\;t\,\lVert a\rVert^{2}+t^{-1}\lVert b\rVert^{2}.

2. (The perturbed matrix) B+εB2S(n)B+\varepsilon B^{2}\in\mathcal{S}(n).

3. (Splitting of a quadratic form) For all x,zRnx,z\in\mathbb{R}^{n},

x(Bx)    z((B+εB2)z)+(ε1+B)xz2.x\cdot(Bx)\;\le\;z\cdot\bigl((B+\varepsilon B^{2})z\bigr)+\bigl(\varepsilon^{-1}+\lVert B\rVert\bigr)\,\lVert x-z\rVert^{2}.
