Student[VectorCalculus][Norm] - compute the norm of a Vector or vector field
Calling Sequence
Norm(f, p)
Parameters
f
-
Vector; specify the Vector or vector field
p
(optional) non-negative number, infinity, or Euclidean; specify the norm
Description
The Norm(f, p) calling sequence computes the p-norm of the Vector or vector field f. If p is omitted, it defaults to 2.
Note: If the current coordinate system (see SetCoordinates) is not cartesian, the Vector is transformed to Cartesian coordinates before the norm is computed (see MapToBasis).
If f is a vector field, the result is a procedure that, at any point (Vector) v, evaluates to the p-norm of the value of f at v.
The Norm(f,Euclidean) calling sequence is equivalent to Norm(f,2).
If the value computed by this command defines a metric, but not a norm. For more information, see LinearAlgebra[Norm].
Examples
For vector fields, the Norm command returns a procedure.
