Norm




<mathematics> A real-valued function modelling the length of a vector.

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.
