Definition

If a_1, ... , a_n and b_1, ... , b_n are arbitrary real numbers, we have [sum (a_k)(b_k)]^2 <= [sum (a_k)^2][sum (b_k)^2] with k=1 to n in each sum. Moreover, if some a_i do not equal 0 equality holds if and only if there is a real x such that (a_k)x + b_k = 0 for each k = 1, 2, ... , n.
