[−][src]Trait maths_traits::analysis::metric::Norm
A real-valued on a ring-module that quantifies it's length, disallowing null-vectors
Specifically, a norm ‖x‖ is a function from a ring module X
over K
to the reals such that:
K
has a norm |•|‖x‖ > 0
for allx != 0
‖cx‖ = |c|‖x‖
‖x+y‖ <= ‖x‖ + ‖y‖
This is distinct from a Seminorm in that it is not allowed to be 0 for non-zero vectors
