Real Sequences

Let $d_p: A \times A: \to \R$ be the real-valued function defined as:

$\ds \forall x = \sequence {x_i}, y = \sequence {y_i} \in A: \map {d_p} {x, y} := \paren {\sum_{k \mathop \ge 0} \size {x_k - y_k}^p}^{\frac 1 p}$

The metric space $\struct {A, d_p}$ is the $p$-sequence space on $\R$ and is denoted $\ell^p$.
