given vectors $u$ and $v$ in $R^n$ how do i prove that



$||uv^T||_2 = ||u||_2 ||v||_2$



is it sufficient to just calculate?



$||u||_2 = sqrtu^2_1+u^2_2 $



$||v||_2 = sqrtv^2_1+v^2_2 $



do i just multiply $u$ and $v^T$ and take the vector norm? or do i take the matrix norm here? or am i totally wrong and misunderstood the problem. Thanks in advance

  • @DavidK one get a matrix, which is why i wondered if we take the matrix norm. which seems to be the case since like amsmath confirmed

You may begin with the definition of the operator norm:
$$
|uv^T|_2=max_|uv^Tw|_2.
$$
Since $v^Tw$ is a scalar, we get
$$
|uv^T|_2=max_|v^Tw||u|_2
$$
and you may continue from here.



Edit. One may also begin with the equivalent definition that $|A|_2=sqrtrho(A^HA)$. In this case we have
$$
|uv^T|_2^2=rho(vu^Tuv^T)=|u|_2^2rho(vv^T)
$$
and it remains to prove that $rho(vv^T)=|v|_2^2$. This should be easy if you consider the images of $v$ and $v^perp$ under $vv^T$.
