Section 2.4 — Vector and Matrix Norms

Dr. Kevin G. TeBeest

 
  1. Which vector norm gives the smallest value?

  2. Compute the 1–norm, 2–norm (Euclidean norm), 3–norm, and infinity norm of vector
           u = [ –47.2, 17.8, 39.3, –21.6 ]T.
    How do the values of those norms compare?

  3. Do the following problems. Recall that the 2-norm of a matrix is the Frobenius norm.


         The Frobenius norm of A is 17.34935157.
         The Frobenius norm of B is 18.95098942.

  4. In the following, assume that A and B are compatible for the following operations.
    Answer with true or false.

    1. || AB ||   ≤   || A || || B ||

    2. || A + B ||   >   || A || + || B ||

    3. || A ||1   =   || AT ||
