Hello everyone!

I came across, in a reading, an unfamiliar norm notation: $||A-B||_{2,a}$ where $a$ is the standard deviation of a Gaussian kernel. Now I know that the index 2 represents the $\ell _2$ norm, but what about the $a$?

Moreover, is the matrix norm defnied in a similar way to the vector norm?Any help is apptreciated!

Hi OhMyMarkov, :)

The definition of the matrix norm and the notation you are taking about are explained here.

Kind Regards,
Sudharaka.
 
Thank you, Sudharaka,

I may need to point this out in case someone else comes across it in the future: this notation means the Element-wise (or Frobenius I guess) norm of the 2D-convolution of A with a Gaussian kernel of standard deviation a.
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
