What Are the Properties of Norms Satisfying the Reverse Triangle Inequality?

[Office_Shredder]

I'm interested in thing that are norms except for the fact that they satisfy the reverse triangle inequality ||x+y|| \geq ||x|| + ||y||. The obvious example is taking p-norms for 0<p<1. Does anyone know of others or if there's any theory developed on this topic?

Are you requiring the norm to be positive definite? If so, I'm pretty sure that your space can have only one point.EDIT: the p norms don't satisfy the reverse triangle inequality: take x = -y.

Oops you're right. I was reading on wikipedia and misinterpreted something.

I should have just stuck with what I originally wanted, which is a "norm" whose unit ball is as concave as possible, rather than convex. Obviously you can't have a unit ball that never contains a line between two points (since it's centrally symmetric)
