Choose an inner product on $\mathbb{R}^2$ from the list in Exercise 7.5.1, and an inner product on $\mathbb{R}^3$ from the list in Exercise 7.5.3, and then compute the adjoint of $A=\left(\begin{array}{rr}1 & 3 \\ 0 & 2 \\ -1 & 1\end{array}\right)$.

Key Concepts

Gram Matrix

A Gram matrix represents the inner product on a finite-dimensional vector space relative to a chosen basis. It is a symmetric positive definite matrix that allows one to express the inner product as a matrix product, and it plays a key role in computing the adjoint of an operator when the inner product is not the standard dot product.

Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations

In finite-dimensional spaces, linear transformations can be expressed as matrices once bases for the domain and codomain are fixed. The matrix representation is closely linked to the inner products chosen, since computations such as finding the adjoint depend on both the transformation's matrix and the Gram matrices corresponding to the inner products.

Inner Product

An inner product is a function that assigns a real number to a pair of vectors in a vector space, satisfying properties of linearity, symmetry, and positive-definiteness. It defines geometric concepts such as length and angles, and in finite-dimensional spaces it can be represented using a symmetric positive definite matrix (the Gram matrix) relative to a chosen basis.

Adjoint Operator

The adjoint of a linear operator on an inner product space is the unique operator A* satisfying the relation ?Ax, y? = ?x, A*y? for all vectors x and y in the space. Its computation depends on the inner products defined on the domain and codomain and often involves taking transposes along with the appropriate Gram matrix adjustments.
