Show that the map $A mapsto AA^{T}$ is continuous. [closed]
Let $M$ be the set of all $n times n$ matrices. Show that the map $f : M longrightarrow M$ given by $f(A) = AA^{T}, A in M$ is continuous.
How do I prove it? Please help me in this regard.
Thank you very much.

Hint: write the product as a polynomial and use that fact that polynomials are everywhere continuous.

Hint: Observe
begin{align}
| AA^T-BB^T| = |AA^T-AB^T+AB^T-BB^T| leq (|A|+|B|)|A-B|
end{align}
then the remaining of the proof follows the same idea as showing $x^2$ is continuous from the definition.
You use Euclidean norm. Right?

You are saying that $|f(X)-f(A)| le (|X|+|A|)|X-A|.$ Now suppose we want to make $|f(X)-f(A)| < epsilon$ then which $delta >0$ should I take such that whenever $|X-A| < delta,$ $|f(X) - f(A) | < epsilon$ ?
– math maniac.
Jan 1 at 7:06
Whenever $|X-A| < delta$ then $|X| < |A| + delta$ by reverse triangle inequality. But then $|f(X)-f(A)| < {delta}^2 + 2|A| delta.$ We may take $0 < delta < 1$. But then ${delta}^2 < delta.$ Then $|f(X)-f(A)| < (2 |A| + 1) delta < epsilon$ if $delta le frac {epsilon} {2|A| + 1}.$
– math maniac.
Jan 1 at 7:16
So we should take $delta = min left {1,frac {epsilon} {2|A| +1} right }$. That will suit our purpose. Am I right?

We can take any norm. Not necessarily Euclidean norm. That's because any two norms on $Bbb R^4$ are equivalent.
