Definition:Norm/Bounded Linear Transformation/Definition 4

Definition
Let $H, K$ be Hilbert spaces, and let $A: H \to K$ be a bounded linear transformation.

The norm of $A$, denoted $\norm A$, is the real number defined by:


 * $\norm A = \inf \set {c > 0: \forall h \in H: \norm {A h}_K \le c \norm h_H}$
