Gram-Schmidt process to construct orthonormal base in a finite vector space with indefinite scalar product.

92 Views Asked by At

Im choking with this exercise because of the indefinite scalar product. I know the process for the definite one.

The first thing I'm asked to do is to check GS is still valid for indefinite scalar product. I have to check this:

a) Check that if the subspace $W_k$ is non degenerate for all $k = 1, . . . , m$ then the GramSchmidt procedure works

What I have tried is to use the definition of a non degenerate subspace: Be $x \in W_k$ and $g(x,y)=0$ for all $y\in W_k \rightarrow x=0$

But I dont know how to follow. I have constructed $x_1$ and $x_2$ with the GS process and My intuition says that the definition of non-degenerate implies that the def. of the projectors are well done. Problem comes with a hint.

Hint. Let $S = (v_1, · · · , v_m) ⊂ V$ be a linearly independent set which spans a non-degenerate subspace $W = L(S)$ and put $W_k := L(v_1, . . . , v_k)$ for every $k = 1, . . . , m$
