The Cauchy–Schwarz Inequality in a Real Inner Product Space

In a real inner product space the absolute value of the inner product of two vectors is at most the product of their norms.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let VV be a real inner product space with inner product ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle and induced norm ∥⋅∥\|\cdot\|, let ∣s∣|s| be the absolute value of s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R}, and let u,v∈Vu,v\in V.

The Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.

∣⟨u,v⟩∣≤∥u∥ ∥v∥.|\langle u,v\rangle|\le\|u\|\,\|v\|.
