This category contains definitions of examples of norms.
Let $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ be a division ring with norm $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_R$.
Let $V$ be a vector space over $R$, with zero $0_V$.
A norm on $V$ is a map from $V$ to the nonnegative reals:
- $\norm{\,\cdot\,}: V \to \R_{\ge 0}$
satisfying the (vector space) norm axioms:
\((\text N 1)\) | $:$ | Positive definiteness: | \(\displaystyle \forall x \in V:\) | \(\displaystyle \norm x = 0 \) | \(\displaystyle \iff \) | \(\displaystyle x = \mathbf 0_V \) | ||
\((\text N 2)\) | $:$ | Positive homogeneity: | \(\displaystyle \forall x \in V, \lambda \in R:\) | \(\displaystyle \norm {\lambda x} \) | \(\displaystyle = \) | \(\displaystyle \norm {\lambda}_R \times \norm x \) | ||
\((\text N 3)\) | $:$ | Triangle inequality: | \(\displaystyle \forall x, y \in V:\) | \(\displaystyle \norm {x + y} \) | \(\displaystyle \le \) | \(\displaystyle \norm x + \norm y \) |
