Euclidean vector space


1 Definition

The term Euclidean vector space is synonymous with finite-dimensionalPlanetmathPlanetmath, real, positive definitePlanetmathPlanetmath, inner product spaceMathworldPlanetmath. The canonical example is n, equipped with the usual dot productMathworldPlanetmath. Indeed, every Euclidean vector space V is isomorphic to n, up to a choice of orthonormal basisMathworldPlanetmath of V. As well, every Euclidean vector space V carries a natural metric space structure given by

d(u,v)=u-v,u-v,u,vV.

2 Remarks.

  • An analogous object with complex numbersMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath as the base fieldMathworldPlanetmath is called a unitary space.

  • Dropping the assumption of finite-dimensionality we arrive at the class of real pre-Hilbert spaces.

  • If we drop the inner productMathworldPlanetmath and the vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath structure, but retain the metric space structure, we arrive at the notion of a Euclidean space.
