Definition
Let $p \ge 1$ be a real number.
Let $\R$ denote the real number line.
Let ${\ell^p}_\R$ denote the real $p$-sequence space:
- $\ds {\ell^p}_\R := \set {\sequence {x_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} \in \R^\N: \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty \size {x_n}^p < \infty}$
Let $\mathbf x = \sequence {x_n} \in {\ell^p}_\R$ be a sequence in ${\ell^p}_\R$.
Then the $p$-norm of $\mathbf x$ is defined as:
- $\ds \norm {\mathbf x}_p = \paren {\sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty \size {x_n}^p}^{1 / p}$
