Abstract: Let (V,‖·‖) be a normed vector space,Q be a positive definite quadratic form on V,and l be a unit linear functional on V.The author proves that if the volume of the unit ball of Q  reaches minimum,then Q-norm of l,‖l‖Q≤1,and ‖li‖Q=1 for some special unit linear functionals li’s.

Key words: quadratic form, linear functional, inner product, linear transformation, Hausdorff measure
