We prove Broyden's theorem by induction on the dimension. We assume the result holds up to rank $n - 1$ and we write $O$ in the form of a block matrix $$O = \left( \begin{array} { l l } P & r \\ { } ^ { t } q & \alpha \end{array} \right)$$ where $P \in M _ { n - 1 } ( \mathbb { R } )$ and thus $r , q \in \mathbb { R } ^ { n - 1 }$ and $\alpha \in \mathbb { R }$.
Show that $| \alpha | \leq 1$ with equality if and only if $q = r = 0$.
