Original question and givens

Use B(x,y)=x^T A y over the real coordinate space with square integer matrix A=[[9, -3], [1, -1]]. All input vector dimensions must match the matrix. Distributivity proves linearity separately in both slots for all real vectors and scalars; individual integer evaluations illustrate that fixed formula, not a black-box sampling proof. Symmetry, positive definiteness, nondegeneracy and inner-product qualification are additional conditions. Give (matrix,first [i,j,A_ij,A_ji] mismatch with i<j in row order or null,symmetric?,symmetry_is_extra_not_bilinearity).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

fixed real matrix=[[9, -3], [1, -1]];B(x,y)=sum_i sum_j x_i*A_ij*y_j

After

distributivity proves real linearity in each slot separately for all vectors and scalars

Conditions: none

Distributivity expands any real linear combination in either slot of the finite double sum,giving separate universal linearity certificates.Integer instances evaluate this fixed formula,not prove a black box by sampling.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: matrix_formula_bilinearity_universal_not_samples · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

matrix coordinates=[0, 1];A_ij=-3;A_ji=1

After

opposite entries equal=No

Conditions: none

Standard basis vectors give B(e_i,e_j)=A_ij,so a mismatch immediately refutes symmetry.All opposite entries must agree for the universal A=A^T certificate.

S003 · implies

Before

first mismatch in row order=[0, 1, -3, 1]

After

symmetric=No;symmetry_is_extra_not_bilinearity

Conditions: none

If A=A^T,exchanging indices in the double sum gives symmetry for all real vectors.Symmetry still does not imply positive definiteness,nondegeneracy or an inner product;the zero matrix is an example.

Rule: bilinear_symmetry_additional_not_inner_product · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

([[9, -3], [1, -1]], [0, 1, -3, 1], No, symmetry_is_extra_not_bilinearity)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
