We have three vectors $vece_1,vece_2,vece_3$ that are not necessarily orthogonal or normalised, but do form a basis.



We also have a matrix $G$ with elements $G_ij=vece_i . vece_j$, and we are told that $H=G^-1$.



The question asks to show that the vectors $vecf_i=sum_jH_ijvece_j$ are the reciprocal vectors of $vece_i$, which I have done. It then asks to show that $H_ij=vecf_i .vecf_j$. I've been trying to prove this latter statement for about two hours and I've had no luck whatsoever. How do I go about proving this?

          It is not true. Here is a counter-example.
          $$
          e_1 = pmatrix1\0\0, e_2 = pmatrix1\1\0, e_3 = pmatrix0\0\1,

            Interestingly your $f_1$ isn't the reciprocal vector of $e_1$, so something must have been wrong with my first proof also. Thank you :)
