once i solve that one is the derivative of the other
but here its much harder to guess the formulla

what is the general method?

i want to find the formula for the inner product which defines such norm.


?
 
You still haven't told us what the entire problem is- that looks like part of a problem. Three numbers don't "define" anything!
 
i need to find alpha beta and gama
so this expression will be minimal

i know how to solve such stuff
usually
i have a vector and a subspace to make a projection of the vector

so i make an orthogonal basis and then i make a projection of that vector
into my space

and then the difference between that vector and the original vector is the minimal

but in order to do all that i need the
inner product formula which defines this norm.

usually i figured out the formula by guessing

but here i can't guess

so i am asking if there is a general method
?
 
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...
