In summary, the norm of a vector is its length or magnitude, calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of its components. R2 is a 2-dimensional coordinate system using ordered pairs of numbers. The notation ||(0,1)||=1 means that the norm of the vector (0,1) is equal to 1. To find the norm of a vector, the Pythagorean theorem can be used. In the context of ||(1,1)||=0.000001, it suggests that the vector is almost parallel to the x-axis or y-axis, but not exactly.

Homework Statement


find a norm on R2 for which||(0,1)||=1=||(1,0)|| but ||(1,1)||=0.000001




Homework Equations


hints: ||(a,b)|| = A |a+b|+B|a-b


The Attempt at a Solution


by the hints i have A+B=1 and 2A=0.000001
then solved the equations system i get A=0.0000005 B=1-A=0.9999995 then ||(a,b)|| = 0.000001|a+b|+0.9999995 |a-b|

is it the answers?

Yes, these values satisfy the given conditions.

Another solution would be to use a p-norm:
[tex]||(a,b)|| = (a^p + b^p)^{1/p}[/tex]
with [itex]p \geq 1[/itex]. This will satisfy [itex]||(1,0)|| = ||(0,1)|| = 1[/itex] for any [itex]p[/itex], so all you have to do is solve for the [itex]p[/itex] which gives the desired result for [itex]||(1,1)||[/itex].
 

FAQ: Find Norm on R2 with ||(0,1)||=1=||(1,0)|| & ||(1,1)||=0.000001

What is the norm of a vector?

The norm of a vector is the length or magnitude of the vector. It is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the vector's components.

What is R2?

R2, also known as the Euclidean plane, is a 2-dimensional coordinate system where points are represented by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

What does ||(0,1)||=1 mean?

This notation means that the norm of the vector (0,1) is equal to 1.

How do you find the norm of a vector?

To find the norm of a vector, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. Square each component of the vector, add them together, and then take the square root of the sum.

What is the significance of ||(1,1)||=0.000001 in this context?

In this context, it means that the norm of the vector (1,1) is very close to 0. This could indicate that the vector is nearly parallel to the x-axis or y-axis, but not exactly.
