Polarization identity
Formula relating the norm and the inner product in an inner product space
Polarization identity
In linear algebra, the polarization identity is any one of a family of formulas that express the inner product of two vectors in terms of the norm of a normed vector space. If a norm arises from an inner product then the polarization identity can be used to express this inner product entirely in terms of the norm. The polarization identity shows that a norm can arise from at most one inner product; however, there exist norms that do not arise from any inner product. The norm associated with any inner product space satisfies the parallelogram law: ‖ x + y ‖ 2 + ‖ x − y ‖ 2 = 2 ‖ x ‖ 2 + 2 ‖ y ‖ 2...
