(d) We want to compute

Then

(e) By setting y = A − 1 x 6 = 0, when x 6 = 0:
∣ (^) = max x∈Rn,||x||6=
− 1 x
||x||
= max y∈Rn,||y||6=

So

Since the inverse of a (e.g. lower) triangular matrix is also (lower) triangular, A
− 1 is (lower) triangular. Moreover
A
H is (upper) triangular, so A
− 1 = A
H is diagonal. Same for A.
By induction, we have H

− 1 0 =^ I^0 = 1. Assume^ HkH
T k = ckIk , where ck is a constant.
Obviously Hk+1 has entries ±1. Then we check that

Therefore

5.a) Direct proof.
5.b) The Gauss elimination (without pivoting) consists in the matrix multiplication A
n = GA
0 = GA, where
G = GnGn− 1 · · · G 1 =

Therefore after n steps

and the product GA after n steps gives:
n = GA =
We conclude by noting that G 21 A 11 + A 21 = 0, thus G 21 = −A 21 A
