چکیده
Real inner product. Let V be a vector space over R. A (real) inner product is a function 〈−,−〉 : V × V → R such that • 〈x, y〉 = 〈y, x〉 for all x, y ∈ V, • 〈c1x1 + c2x2, y〉 = c1〈x1, y〉+ c2〈x2, y〉 for all x1, x2, y ∈ V, c1, c2 ∈ R, • 〈x, x〉 ≥ 0 with 〈x, x〉 = 0 iff x = 0. That is, the pairing is symmetric, linear in the first variable (and therefore bilinear, by symmetry), and positive definite. Example (Standard dot product). Given a column vector v ∈ Rn×1, let vt ∈ R1×n be the transpose. Then define 〈x, y〉 = yx. Check that this is just the usual dot product, so that 〈x, y〉 = ∑ xiyi. Example. Let P ∈ Rn×n be an invertible matrix. Define 〈x, y〉P = yP Px. This is an inner product, usually different from the dot product. Fact: every inner product on Rn×1 is of this form for some P . (See discussion of isometries below.)

Disclaimer: These notes have not been subjected to the usual scrutiny reserved for formal publications. Spectral graph theory seeks to relate the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of matrices corresponding to a Graph to the combinatorial properties of the graph. While generally the theorems are designed for unweighted and undirected graphs they can be extended to the weighted graph case and (less co...
