Homework Statement


Is it possible to find the norm of a matrix? Not a column or row matrix which is a vector, but like on a 2x2 or 3x3 matrix?

What is your definition of "norm of a matrix"?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
