Question 15249: Compute Distance in the Norm Induced by This Positive-Definite Form

Original question and givens

Use the same real plane with symmetric positive-definite matrix G=[[25, 2], [2, 5]] and inner product <x,y>=x^T G y. Its induced norm and metric belong to that same carrier, not to unrelated structures. Left vector=[11, 1], right vector=[-11, -1]. Give (left,right,left_minus_right,squared_distance,symbolic_square_root).

Step-by-step derivation

Hilbert Gram diagonal product := mul(25, 5)

Hilbert Gram diagonal product = 125

Hilbert Gram off-diagonal product := mul(2, 2)

Hilbert Gram off-diagonal product = 4

Hilbert Gram determinant := sub(125, 4)

Hilbert Gram determinant = 121

Hilbert completing-square slope := div(2, 25)

Hilbert completing-square slope = 2/25

Hilbert completing-square positive residual := div(121, 25)

Hilbert completing-square positive residual = 121/25

complete real carrier R^2;Gram matrix=[[25, 2], [2, 5]];a=25>0;det=121>0;dimension declaration=2

x^T M x=25*(x0+(2/25)*x1)^2+(121/25)*x1^2;zero only at x=0

Hilbert distance coordinate0 difference := sub(11, -11)

Hilbert distance coordinate0 difference = 22

Hilbert distance coordinate1 difference := sub(1, -1)

Hilbert distance coordinate1 difference = 2

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,0) times left coordinate := mul(25, 22)

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,0) times left coordinate = 550

Hilbert distance term(0,0) := mul(550, 22)

Hilbert distance term(0,0) = 12100

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,1) times left coordinate := mul(2, 22)

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,1) times left coordinate = 44

Hilbert distance term(0,1) := mul(44, 2)

Hilbert distance term(0,1) = 88

Hilbert distance coefficient(1,0) times left coordinate := mul(2, 2)

Hilbert distance coefficient(1,0) times left coordinate = 4

Hilbert distance term(1,0) := mul(4, 22)

Hilbert distance term(1,0) = 88

Hilbert distance coefficient(1,1) times left coordinate := mul(5, 2)

Hilbert distance coefficient(1,1) times left coordinate = 10

Hilbert distance term(1,1) := mul(10, 2)

Hilbert distance term(1,1) = 20

Hilbert distance complete bilinear sum := sum(12100, 88, 88, 20)

Hilbert distance complete bilinear sum = 12296

left=[11, 1];right=[-11, -1];same induced metric on R^2;squared norm=12296

distance=sqrt(12296)
