Definition 6.1.1: We call scalar product (or inner product) on E every definite positive symmetric bilinear form on E, i.e., every mapping f : E⇥E 7 . R which satisfies the following properties: i) For all x, x0 , y 2 E and a, a0 2 R, f (ax + a0 x0 , y) = af (x, y) + a0 f (x0 , y). ii) f (x, y) = f (y, x) for all x, y 2 E. iii) f (x, x) 0 for all x 2 E. iv) f (x, x) = 0 if and only if x = ______.
