Given a vector $vin mathbbR^n$, I have seen from several sources that $I-vv^T$ is the projection onto the orthogonal complement of the line through the origin in the direction $v$?



I have unfortunately memorized this expression instead of figuring out what it actually means. I know that the orthogonal complement of a line is a plane with the line being its normal vector. And from what I understand this means that $P=I-vv^T$ is a projection matrix which places vectors into that aforementioned plane. But beyond that, I'm having difficulty connecting $I-vv^T$ to all vectors which are orthogonal to $v$ (which is what an orthogonal complement is, after all).



Can someone help me understand how this is true?

          Given a vector $x$, and a unit vector $v$, the projection of $x$ onto $v$ is going to be $(v^Tx)v=v(v^Tx)=(vv^T)x$.



          Hence the orthogonal complement is $x-(v^Tx)v=x-(vv^T)x=(I-vv^T)x.$

          Let $v$ an unit vector and $(v,u_1,dots,u_n-1)$ an orthonormal basis of $mathbbR^n$ (Constructed by Grahm-Schmitt for example).



          Then $x$ can be decomposed in that basis, i.e. : $$x=lambda v+sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



          Then $v^Tx$ is the inner product and its values is $lambda$. Thus $vv^Tx= lambda v$. In other words, $vv^Tx$ is the orthogonal projection into the vector space spanned by $v$.



          Then $$(I-vv^T)x=sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



          What we have done is removing the $v$ component of $x$. Since our basis is orthogonal, $$v^T(I-vv^T)x=sum_i=1^n-1lambda_i v^Tu_i=0.$$



          $(I-vv^T)$ fails to be a projection into $ Span(u_1,..,u_n-1)$ if $v$ is not a unit vector, as $vv^Tx=v|v|_2lambda$, hence :



          $$(I-vv^T)x=(1-|v|_2)lambda v +sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



          which still have a component in $v$.

          Let $E$ be the orthogonal space to the line defined by $v$. The orthogonal projection $P: mathbb R^n to E$ is the unique operator such that the following conditions are satisfied:



          • The image of $P$ is $E$

          • $langle x - Px, E rangle = 0$

          • $E$ is $P$-invariant

          To see uniqueness, suppose that $P'$ was another orthogonal projection, then



          $$
          0 = langle Px - P'Px, E rangle = langle Px - P'x, E rangle,
          $$
          and since $P, P'$ both map to $E$, they are equal. (Existence is typically shown by using an orthonormal basis of $E$ that is extended to an orthonormal basis of $mathbb R^n$, using e.g. basis extension and Gram--Schmidt.) Hence, it is sufficient to show that your projection satisfies these properties.



          So, let $x in mathbb R^n$.



          • $I - v v^t$ maps to $E$, since $langle (I - vv^t)x, v rangle = 0$ (here we need $v$ to be a unit vector and use $langle v v^t x, v rangle = langle x, v v^t v rangle$. For reasons of dimension ($vv^t$ is a matrix of rank $1$), the image equals $E$.

          • This is because $langle -v v^t x, y rangle = 0$ for $y in E$.

          • This is again by orthogonality, namely $v v^t y = v langle v, yrangle = 0$ for $y in E$.

            Let $v$ an unit vector and $(v,u_1,dots,u_n-1)$ an orthonormal basis of $mathbbR^n$ (Constructed by Grahm-Schmitt for example).



            Then $x$ can be decomposed in that basis, i.e. : $$x=lambda v+sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



            Then $v^Tx$ is the inner product and its values is $lambda$. Thus $vv^Tx= lambda v$. In other words, $vv^Tx$ is the orthogonal projection into the vector space spanned by $v$.



            Then $$(I-vv^T)x=sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



            What we have done is removing the $v$ component of $x$. Since our basis is orthogonal, $$v^T(I-vv^T)x=sum_i=1^n-1lambda_i v^Tu_i=0.$$



            $(I-vv^T)$ fails to be a projection into $ Span(u_1,..,u_n-1)$ if $v$ is not a unit vector, as $vv^Tx=v|v|_2lambda$, hence :



            $$(I-vv^T)x=(1-|v|_2)lambda v +sum_i=1^n-1 lambda_i u_i.$$



            which still have a component in $v$.

            Let $E$ be the orthogonal space to the line defined by $v$. The orthogonal projection $P: mathbb R^n to E$ is the unique operator such that the following conditions are satisfied:



            • The image of $P$ is $E$

            • $langle x - Px, E rangle = 0$

            • $E$ is $P$-invariant

            To see uniqueness, suppose that $P'$ was another orthogonal projection, then



            $$
            0 = langle Px - P'Px, E rangle = langle Px - P'x, E rangle,
            $$
            and since $P, P'$ both map to $E$, they are equal. (Existence is typically shown by using an orthonormal basis of $E$ that is extended to an orthonormal basis of $mathbb R^n$, using e.g. basis extension and Gram--Schmidt.) Hence, it is sufficient to show that your projection satisfies these properties.



            So, let $x in mathbb R^n$.



            • $I - v v^t$ maps to $E$, since $langle (I - vv^t)x, v rangle = 0$ (here we need $v$ to be a unit vector and use $langle v v^t x, v rangle = langle x, v v^t v rangle$. For reasons of dimension ($vv^t$ is a matrix of rank $1$), the image equals $E$.

            • This is because $langle -v v^t x, y rangle = 0$ for $y in E$.

            • This is again by orthogonality, namely $v v^t y = v langle v, yrangle = 0$ for $y in E$.
