confusion in proof of the triangle inequality from linear algebra text

210 Views Asked by At

I'm reading the following proof of the triangle inequality enter image description here

However i'm a little confused. It says we have equality in 6.10 if and only if one of $u$ or $v$ is a non negative multiple which they're saying is equivalent to the statement 1 $\langle u,v \rangle = ||u||||v||$

Now the statement $ \exists a, u = av \Leftrightarrow \langle u,v \rangle = ||u||||v||$ i'm fine with but its getting to the requirement that i'm not.

See $|\langle u,v \rangle | = ||u||||v||$ holding only proves the second inequality is an equality namely $||u||^2+||v||^2 + 2|\langle u,v \rangle | = ||u||^2+||v||^2 + 2||u||||v||$. It does not however prove that $\text{Re}\langle u,v \rangle = |\langle u,v \rangle|$ or $\text{Re}\langle u,v \rangle = ||u||||v||$ if and only if $|\langle u,v \rangle| = ||u||||v||$ which is what we need for the first inequality to be an equality, or am i missing something? Can we prove this result from the axioms of norms and inner product spaces?

$\textbf{EDIT}$:ATTEMPT AT ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTION AFTER IT WAS POSED: We require $2\text{Re}\langle u,v \rangle = 2|\langle u,v \rangle|$, so let $\langle u,v \rangle = a+bi$ for $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$. Then $2\text{Re}\langle u,v \rangle = 2a = 2\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = 2|\langle u,v \rangle|$ if and only if $b=0$ in which case we know $\langle u,v \rangle \in \mathbb{R}$. Hence $\text{Re}(\langle u,v \rangle) = \langle u,v \rangle$ and so since we require $\text{Re}(\langle u,v \rangle) = ||u||||v||$ that is equivalent to saying $\langle u,v \rangle = ||u||||v||$. Is this correct?

What the author means is that if $\|u+v\|=\|u\|+\|v\|$, equality must hold in both 6.11 and 6.12. Since equality holds in 6.11, $\langle u,v\rangle$ must be a nonnegative real number. Therefore, the equality in 6.12, namely $|\langle u,v\rangle|=\|u\|\|v\|$, can be rephrased as $\langle u,v\rangle=\|u\|\|v\|$.
