 Norm (mathematics) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In linear algebra, functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a norm is a function which assigns a positive length or size to all vectors in a vector space, other than the zero vector.
A vector space with a norm (semi-norm) is called a normed vector space (semi-normed vector space).
Equivalent norms define the same notions of continuity and convergence and do not need to be distinguished for most purposes.

We will first prove that D is a Euclidean domain for d = -1 or -2, when we take as function f the norm: f(x + yw) = N(x + yw) = x^2 - dy^2.
However, it could still be the case that D would be a Euclidean domain, but with a different Euclidean function.
So far, we have shown: * D is a Euclidean domain, with the norm as Euclidean function, for d = -1 or -2 * These are the only negative d for which D is a Euclidean domain with the norm as Euclidean function.

The spectral matrix norm is not vector-bound to any vector norm, but it "almost" is. This norm is useful because we often want to think about the behavior of a matrix as being determined by its largest eigenvalue, and it often is. But there is no vector norm for which it is always true that
The norms of the matrix and its inverse exert some limits on the relationship between the forward and backward errors.
These quantities depend on the vector norm used, they cannot be defined in cases where the divisor is zero, and they are problematic when the divisor is small.

The norm must be {homogeneous} and {symmetric} and fulfil the following condition: the shortest way to reach a point is to go straight toward it.
Every {convex} symmetric {closed} surface surrounding point 0 introduces a norm by means of {Minkowski functional}; all vectors that end on the surface have the same norm then.
The most popular norm is the {Euclidean norm}; it is calculated by summing up squares of all coordinates and taking the square root; this is the essence of {Pythagorus's theorem}.

 [No title]
All the real quadratic fields with D Euclidean with respect to the absolute value of the norm have been known for some time, but until recently it was an open problem as to whether such a D existed which was Euclidean but not with respect to the norm.
More precisely, Clark gave a completely explicit example of a modified norm with respect to which the ring of integers of that quadratic field is Euclidean (it was well known that it wasn't Euclidean wrt.
Basically, the `best' valuation will map 0 to 0, all the units to 1, all the prime elements for which it makes sense to 2 (those for which all the prime residue classes contain units), and all the remaining prime elements to 3; its values for composites can then be determined inductively.

 Norms of Vectors
A vector norm is a single number which represents the size or `length' of a vector.
Although only three vector norms are used, it is worth giving the axiomatic definition, since this is a starting point for matrix norms.
These properties ensure that the norm is a length; (i) says that length is non-negative, (ii) gives scaling of length, while (iii) is the triangle inequality.

The Euclidean distance if widely used for that matter, because in two or three dimensions, it gives the actual distance as in the real world.
In high dimensions, the Euclidean distances from a point to its nearest and farthest neigbours tend to be very similar and nearly meaningless.
The Euclidean distance does not care about this intrinsic structure and goes measuring distances through "shortcuts" as illustrated on the figure (the red line is the Euclidean Distance between fl dots and the blue line is the geodesic distance along the 2D spiral built up by the datapoints, between the same fl dots.

 Minimizing the Euclidean Condition Number
It is the Euclidean norm case that has widespread application in robust control analyses.
For example, it is used for integral controllability tests based on steady-state information, for the selection of sensors and actuators based on dynamic information, and for studying the sensitivity of stability to uncertainty in control systems.
Minimizing the scaled Euclidean condition number has been an open question---researchers proposed approaches to solving the problem numerically, but none of the proposed numerical approaches guaranteed convergence to the true minimum.

 LVQ Algorithm (can use Euclidean or taxicab norm for match)
Template matching can be based on Euclidean or taxicab distances; in the latter case, the new algorithm emulates "fuzzy" ART.
Interestingly, this is analogous to the equivalence of template-error and correlation matching with Euclidean norms.
What is more, explicit computation of the taxicab norms (4) requires only absolute-value computations, which are typically faster than the comparison operations needed to evaluate the expressions (5).

Abstract: In this paper we study number fields which are Euclidean with respect to functions that are different from the absolute value of the norm, namely weighted norms that depend on a real parameter c.
We introduce the Euclidean minimum of weighted norms as the set of values of c for which the function is Euclidean, and we show that the Euclidean minimum may be irrational and not isolated.
We also present computational results on Euclidean minima of cubic number fields, and present a list of norm-Euclidean complex cubic fields that we conjecture to be complete.

 The PSLQ Algorithm
One can show, on using a working precision that is only slightly higher than that of the input data, that these bound results obtained from computer runs are reliable.
In the context of these exclusion bounds it is important to realize that, even for very ``similar'' numbers, the Euclidean norms of their relations can differ greatly.
The lesson here is that, if we can, we should ``normalize'' our input so that the resulting integer relation is of low Euclidean norm.
