The norm of a multilinear map on an orthonormal basis #
A continuous multilinear map M on finite-dimensional inner product spaces is determined by its
values on tuples of vectors of orthonormal bases b j, and its operator norm is controlled by
them: ‖M‖ ≤ ∑_r ‖M (fun j => b j (r j))‖, the sum running over all tuples r of basis indices
(ContinuousMultilinearMap.opNorm_le_sum_norm_apply_orthonormalBasis). For a second derivative,
this bounds the norm of the Hessian by the sum of the absolute values of its matrix entries.
The linear case, ‖L‖ ≤ ∑ i, ‖L (b i)‖, is
ContinuousLinearMap.opNorm_le_sum_norm_apply_orthonormalBasis; for a first derivative it bounds
the norm of the gradient by the sum of the absolute values of the partial derivatives. Its square
form ‖L‖² ≤ (card ι) ∑ i, ‖L (b i)‖²
(ContinuousLinearMap.opNorm_sq_le_card_mul_sum_norm_apply_sq_orthonormalBasis) bounds the norm
of a matrix by its columns in square mean.
Conversely, the entries H ![b i, b j] of a bilinear map on an orthonormal basis are bounded by
the operator norm (ContinuousMultilinearMap.norm_apply_orthonormalBasis_le). For a bilinear map
H on a space with an orthonormal basis indexed by ι, an entry bound ‖H ![b i, b j]‖ ≤ B
gives ‖H‖ ≤ (card ι)² B (ContinuousMultilinearMap.opNorm_le_card_sq_mul_of_norm_apply_le).
A Hölder family of bilinear maps has Hölder entries with the same constant
(HolderOnWith.apply_orthonormalBasis), and conversely a family whose entries are Hölder with
constant C is Hölder with constant (card ι)² C (HolderOnWith.of_apply_orthonormalBasis).
These are the bounds relating a Hessian to its matrix entries.
The operator norm of a continuous linear map on an inner product space is at most the sum of the norms of its values on the vectors of an orthonormal basis.
The squared operator norm of a continuous linear map on an inner product space is at most the number of vectors of an orthonormal basis times the sum of the squared norms of its values on them.
The operator norm of a continuous multilinear map on inner product spaces is at most the sum of the norms of its values on tuples of vectors of orthonormal bases, one for each argument.
An entry H ![b i, b j] of a bilinear map on an orthonormal basis b has norm at most the
operator norm.
A bilinear map whose entries H ![b i, b j] on an orthonormal basis b are bounded by B
has operator norm at most (card ι)² B.
A family of bilinear maps which is Hölder on a set has entries H x ![b i, b j], on an
orthonormal basis b, which are Hölder there with the same constant.
A family of bilinear maps whose entries H x ![b i, b j], on an orthonormal basis b indexed
by ι, are Hölder on a set with constant C is Hölder there with constant (card ι)² C. This is
the converse of HolderOnWith.apply_orthonormalBasis.
