entrywise.norm

Compute the entrywise norm of a matrix


Description

This function returns the ≤ft\| {\bf{x}} \right\|_p norm of the matrix {\mathbf{x}}.

Usage

entrywise.norm(x,p)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector or matrix

p

a real value for the power

Details

Let {\bf{x}} be an m \times n numeric matrix. The formula used to compute the norm is ≤ft\| {\bf{x}} \right\|_p = ≤ft( {∑\limits_{i = 1}^m {∑\limits_{j = 1}^n {≤ft| {x_{i,j} } \right|^p } } } \right)^{{1 \mathord{≤ft/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-νlldelimiterspace} p}}.

Value

A numeric value.

Note

If argument x is not numeric, the function displays an error message and terminates. If argument x is neither a matrix nor a vector, the function displays an error message and terminates. If argument p is zero, the function displays an error message and terminates.
