Homework Statement
Prove that the Frobenius norm is indeed a matrix norm.
Homework Equations
The definition of the the Frobenius norm is as follows:
||A||_F = sqrt{Ʃ(i=1..m)Ʃ(j=1..n)|A_ij|^2}
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that in order to prove that the Frobenius norm is indeed a matrix norm, it must satisfy the 3 properties of matrix norm, which are as follows:
1. f(A) >= 0, for all A in ℝ^(mxn) (f(A)=0 iff A=0)
2. f(A+B) <= f(A)+f(B), for all A, B in ℝ^(mxn)
3. f(αA) = |α|f(A), for all α in ℝ, A in ℝ^(mxn)
However, I'm not exactly sure how to go about proving each of the properties. Can someone please give me some hints? Thanks!
