Original question and givens

Use the exact real R² candidate B(x,y)=x^T A y with the complete integer matrix A=[[12, 1], [2, 2]]. Bilinearity follows from the formula; symmetry and strict positive definiteness remain separate obligations. For a symmetric 2-by-2 matrix the Sylvester certificate requires a positive leading entry and positive determinant. Positive semidefiniteness or finitely many positive samples are insufficient, and completeness is not inferred. Give (matrix,bilinear?,symmetric?,positive_definite?,inner_product?,classification). Classification is real_inner_product or not_inner_product.

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

candidate real R2 form;matrix=[[12, 1], [2, 2]];B(x,y)=x^T*A*y

After

matrix distributivity supplies bilinearity;other inner-product obligations remain separate

Conditions: none

The matrix formula is bilinear without presuming symmetry or positive definiteness.This protocol is real R²,not a complex-conjugate or arbitrary-dimensional claim.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inner_candidate_bilinear_not_presumed_inner_product · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

opposite off-diagonal entries=[1, 2]

After

symmetric=No

Conditions: none

Standard basis vectors read off matrix entries,so symmetry is equivalent to equality of the two off-diagonal entries.One pairwise equality cannot establish universal symmetry.

Rule: inner_symmetry_additional_to_bilinearity · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

inner determinant diagonal product := mul(12, 2)

After

inner determinant diagonal product = 24

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining coordinates,coefficients,signs and necessary guards.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

inner determinant off-diagonal product := mul(1, 2)

After

inner determinant off-diagonal product = 2

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining coordinates,coefficients,signs and necessary guards.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

inner signed determinant := sub(24, 2)

After

inner signed determinant = 22

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining coordinates,coefficients,signs and necessary guards.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

matrix=[[12, 1], [2, 2]];leading=12;determinant=22

After

symmetric positive-definite inner-product certificate rejected at symmetry premise

Conditions: none

Nonsymmetry already rejects an inner-product candidate.This No does not separately classify positivity of x^T A x after discarding the antisymmetric part.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: nonsymmetric_inner_certificate_not_quadratic_classification · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

symmetric=No;leading=12;determinant=22

After

strict symmetric R2 certificate=No

Conditions: none

Conjoin symmetry,positive leading minor and positive determinant.This is the stated symmetric R² inner-product protocol,with no additional completeness claim.
