[−][src]Trait maths_traits::analysis::metric::Seminorm
A real-valued function from a ring module that quantifies it's length, allowing for null-vectors
Specifically, a seminorm ‖•‖ is a function from a ring module X
over K
to the reals such that:
K
has a seminorm |•|‖x‖ >= 0
‖cx‖ = |c|‖x‖
‖x+y‖ <= ‖x‖ + ‖y‖
This is distinct from a NormedMetric in that it is allowed to be 0 for non-zero vectors
