Definition:Inner Product Norm

Definition

Let $\Bbb F$ be a subfield of $\C$.

Let $\struct {V, \innerprod \cdot \cdot}$ be an inner product space over $\Bbb F$.

Then the inner product norm on $V$ is the mapping $\norm {\, \cdot \,} : V \to \R_{\ge 0}$ given by:

$\norm x = \sqrt {\innerprod x x}$

for each $x \in V$.
