Prove that $(v^Tx)^2-(u^Tx)^2 < 1-(u^Tv)^2$ for any unit vectors $u$, $v$, $x$

Let $u,v,x \in \mathbb R^d$ be three unit vectors. I found a very complicated proof that $(v^Tx)^2-(u^Tx)^2 \leq 1-(u^Tv)^2$. That is $\lVert uu^T-vv^T\rVert^2_2 = 1-(u^Tv)^2$, or that $f(v,x)\leq f(v,...

Estimate bounds on Minkowski distance from point to a segment in Lp space

Assumptions Let $L_p(x,y)=(\sum_i|x_i - y_i|^p)^{1/p}$ (Minkowski metric), $a,b$ be arbitrary $n$-dimensional points, $c$ be a point that satisfies $L_p(a,b) = L_p(a,c) + L_p(c,b)$, i.e., a point ...
