Question 15250: 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=[[26, 0], [0, 1]] 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=[12, 2], right vector=[-12, 0]. Give (left,right,left_minus_right,squared_distance,symbolic_square_root).

Step-by-step derivation

Hilbert Gram diagonal product := mul(26, 1)

Hilbert Gram diagonal product = 26

Hilbert Gram off-diagonal product := mul(0, 0)

Hilbert Gram off-diagonal product = 0

Hilbert Gram determinant := sub(26, 0)

Hilbert Gram determinant = 26

Hilbert completing-square slope := div(0, 26)

Hilbert completing-square slope = 0

Hilbert completing-square positive residual := div(26, 26)

Hilbert completing-square positive residual = 1

complete real carrier R^2;Gram matrix=[[26, 0], [0, 1]];a=26>0;det=26>0;dimension declaration=2

x^T M x=26*(x0+(0)*x1)^2+(1)*x1^2;zero only at x=0

Hilbert distance coordinate0 difference := sub(12, -12)

Hilbert distance coordinate0 difference = 24

Hilbert distance coordinate1 difference := sub(2, 0)

Hilbert distance coordinate1 difference = 2

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,0) times left coordinate := mul(26, 24)

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,0) times left coordinate = 624

Hilbert distance term(0,0) := mul(624, 24)

Hilbert distance term(0,0) = 14976

Hilbert distance coefficient(0,1) times left coordinate := mul(0, 24)

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

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

Hilbert distance term(0,1) = 0

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

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

Hilbert distance term(1,0) := mul(0, 24)

Hilbert distance term(1,0) = 0

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

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

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

Hilbert distance term(1,1) = 4

Hilbert distance complete bilinear sum := sum(14976, 0, 0, 4)

Hilbert distance complete bilinear sum = 14980

left=[12, 2];right=[-12, 0];same induced metric on R^2;squared norm=14980

distance=sqrt(14980)
