Hello,

i'm trying to prove this statements, but i'm stuck.

Be V=Rn\displaystyle V=R^n furnished with the standard inner product and the standard basis S.
And let W \displaystyle \subseteq V be a subspace of V and let W\displaystyle W^\bot be the orthogonal complement.

a) Show that there is exactly one linear map Φ:VV\displaystyle \Phi:V \rightarrow V with Φw=idw\displaystyle \Phi|_w=id_w and with Φw=idw\displaystyle \Phi|_{w^\bot}=-id_{w^\bot}

b) Show that V have an orthonormal basis B consisting of the eigenvectors of Φ\displaystyle \Phi and indicate DBB(Φ\displaystyle D_{BB}(\Phi

c) Show that DBS(idv)\displaystyle D_{BS}(id_v) and DSS(Φ)\displaystyle D_{SS}(\Phi) are orthogonal matrices.




For a) i have the following incomplete derivation:

Be a1\displaystyle a_1...an\displaystyle a_n an orthonormal basis of W and be b1\displaystyle b_1...bn\displaystyle b_n an orthonormal basis of W\displaystyle W^\bot.
Therefore Φ\displaystyle \Phi is defined as Φ:aiai,bibj\displaystyle \Phi: a_i \mapsto a_i, b_i \mapsto -b_j with 1\displaystyle \lei\displaystyle \len and 1\displaystyle \lej\displaystyle \len. We can see that ai\displaystyle a_i and bi\displaystyle b_i are eigenvectors of Φ\displaystyle \Phi.

And now i'm stuck. I'm sure, i saw somewhere an prove with this derivation. But i dont remember. Is this even a good starting point or a dead end?
Well, i'm not very good at mathematical prooves.
But maybe someone can help me with the next step or someone have an other idea to proove this.
Thanks in advance.
