The quadratic Fenchel–Young inequality in mean #
For a positive-semidefinite matrix A with pseudoinverse A⁺, the quadratic Fenchel–Young
inequality ⟪u, y⟫ ≤ (⟪A y, y⟫ + ⟪A⁺ u, u⟫) / 2 holds for every y and every u in the range
of A. This file takes it in mean, for a centred random vector u = X - 𝔼 X and a random vector
y = Y with finite second moments, when the covariance matrix of X has the form A * T * A.
The hypothesis on the covariance forces the centred variable into the range of A almost surely,
which is what allows A to be singular: the mean of ‖(1 - A * A⁺) (X - 𝔼 X)‖ ^ 2 is a trace
against the covariance that vanishes.

The centred variable lies in the range of the covariance. If the covariance matrix of a
square-integrable random vector X has the form A * T for a positive-semidefinite matrix A,
then X - 𝔼 X lies almost surely in the range of A.
The quadratic Fenchel–Young inequality in mean. Let X and Y be square-integrable
random vectors, where the law of X has covariance matrix A * T * A for a positive-semidefinite
matrix A. Then the correlation of the centred variable X - 𝔼 X with Y is at most
(𝔼 ⟪A Y, Y⟫ + tr (A * T)) / 2.
