    L2 Proofs
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving the inequalities ||x||1 ≤ n||x||∞ and ||x||2 ≤ √n * ||x||∞ for vectors x in R^n. The L1, L2, and Linfty norms are defined using resources from MathWorld. The conversation highlights a misunderstanding regarding the notation, specifically the correct representation of x in the context of real numbers versus R^n.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector norms: L1, L2, and Linfty norms
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation and inequalities
  • Basic knowledge of real number sets and vector spaces
  • Ability to interpret mathematical definitions from external resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the definitions and properties of L1, L2, and Linfty norms in detail
  • Learn how to properly represent vectors in R^n
  • Explore proofs of norm inequalities in linear algebra
  • Review mathematical notation and symbols for clarity in communication
USEFUL FOR

Students studying linear algebra, mathematicians interested in norm properties, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of vector spaces and inequalities.

L1-, L2-, Linfty-Norm Proofs - Please Help!

Homework Statement



Show that ||x||1 < or = n||x||infinity and ||x||2 < or = sqrt(n)*||x||infinity for x exists in the set of all real numbers.


Homework Equations



||x||2 is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L2-Norm.html
||x||1 is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L1-Norm.html
||x||infinity is defined here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/L1-Norm.html

Sorry about posting links, but I have no idea how to get all the symbols (like the summation symbol) to show up on the forums!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Okay, what have you done? You can't just expect people to do your homework for you! I would also point out that "x exists in the set of all real numbers" makes little sense here. Do you mean that x is in Rn?
