(1) Note that if $| mathbfA mathbfx |_2 = 1$, then
$$| mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx |_2 cdot | mathbfx |_2 ge langle mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx, mathbfx rangle = | mathbfA mathbfx |_2^2 = 1$$
and thus we have $| mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx |_2 ge frac1 mathbfx $.



(2) By (1), if $| mathbfA mathbfx_1 |_2 = cdots = | mathbfA mathbfx_r |_2 = 1$, we have
$$| mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx_1 |_2^2 + cdots + | mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx_r |_2^2 ge frac1+cdots+frac1.$$



Here is my question:
If $ mathbfAmathbfx_1, cdots, mathbfAmathbfx_r $ is orthonormal, can we obtain a better inequality than (2)?



Thanks.

    How do you want to make the inequality better? The inequality is sharp as it is.

  • When obtaining the inequality (2), the orthogonality of the vectors is not used. I am just wondering how we can exploit the orthogonality to get the sharper bound.

Consider $A=I$ and $x_i=e_i$ the $i$-th vector of the canonical basis. Then the set $ mathbfAmathbfx_1, cdots, mathbfAmathbfx_r $ is orthonormal, but :



$$| mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx_1 |_2^2 + cdots + | mathbfA^T mathbfA mathbfx_r |_2^2 =r= frac1+cdots+frac1.$$



Hence the inequality cannot be "better" even if we take orthogonality into account.
