LINEAR ALGEBRA (Part-6) - Norms
       LINEAR ALGEBRA (Part-6)    Norms      Norms   Norm is used to measure the size/length/magnitude/distance of a vector. Like for example we know the Normal distance between two points x 1 =2 and x 2 =4 is x 2 -x 1 =4-2=2         Another example is the Euclidean distance between two points x 1 =2 and x 2 =4 is √(4-2) 2 =2    In general Norm is written by L P  norm = ||x|| p  = (∑|x i | p ) 1/p  Where p = 1 or 2      L 1  Norm      The L 1  norm is calculated as the sum of the absolute vector values.    Let's put 1 in the above general norm equation. Here p=1 as L 1  Norm.         ||x|| p  = (∑|x i | p ) 1/p    ||x|| 1  = (∑|x i | 1 ) 1/1    ||x|| 1  = ∑|x i |    So it is just the sum of the absolute vector values.    consider vector v = [1 -2 6]    ||v|| 1  = |1| + |-2| + |6| = 1+2+6 = 9      L 2  Norm      It is also called Euclidean norm.    The L 2  norm is calculated as root over of the sum of the squared vector values.    Let's put 2 in the above general norm equation....
