What are Different Types of Vector Normalization?

[juliette sekx]

I want to write that I'm normalizing a vector, but I need to specify what TYPE of normalization I'm doing.

I want to say that I'm dividing each element by the largest element in the vector, rather than something else like dividing all elements by the Euclidean length of the vector or something like that.

Is there a word for these two types of normalization, so that I don't need to explain what I'm doing in words ?? Like for ex. "max-normalization" and "Euclidean Normalization" ??

If I said that I'm normalizing the elements to lie between 0 and 1, would it be obvious that I'm dividing each element by the largest element in the vector ??

THank you.

So you use the maximum norm ...

... and the Euclidean norm.

No. This would not be the only possibility.

THank you.

Also you have to specify how you deal with negative components. You might lose the norm property if you don't apply absolute values first.
