norm
function. The general syntax is
y = norm(A,p)
where A
is the matrix to analyze, and p
is the
type norm to compute. The following choices of p
are supported
p = 1
returns the 1-norm, or the max column sum of A
p = 2
returns the 2-norm (largest singular value of A)
p = inf
returns the infinity norm, or the max row sum of A
p = 'fro'
returns the Frobenius-norm (vector Euclidean norm, or RMS value)
1 <= p < inf
returns sum(abs(A).^p)^(1/p)
p
unspecified returns norm(A,2)
p = inf
returns max(abs(A))
p = -inf
returns min(abs(A))
