Description: Minimizing vector theorem, or the Hilbert projection theorem. There is exactly one vector in a complete subspace W that minimizes the distance to an arbitrary vector A in a parent inner product space. Theorem 3.3-1 of Kreyszig p. 144, specialized to subspaces instead of convex subsets.
