4 Norm (Absolute/Modulus/Magnitude) Definition Given a vector space V over a subfield F of the complex numbers, a norm a on V is a function : V R with the following properties: For all a F and all u, v V, 1 a v = a v (positive scalability). 2 u + v u + v (triangular inequality) 3 If v = 0 then v is the zero vector 0 (separates points) a Sometimes the vertical line, Unicode Ux007c ( ), is used (e.g., v ), but this latter notation is generally discouraged, because it is also used to denote the absolute value of scalars and the determinant of matrices.

5 Norm - A Few Examples Euclidean Norm On an n-dimensional Euclidean space R n, the intuitive notion of length of the vector x = (x 1, x 2,..., x n) is captured by the formula x 2 := x x x2 n. (1) On an n-dimensional complex space C n, the most common norm is z 2 := z z z n 2. (2) Taxicab Norm / Manhattan Norm The name relates to the distance a taxi has to drive in a rectangular street grid to get from the origin to the point x. It is defined as x 1 := n x i. (3) i=1

6 Norm - A Few Examples Maximum Norm Maximum norm is defined as x := max ( x 1, x 2,..., x n ). (4) p-norm p-norm is defined as x p := ( n ) 1/p x i p. (5) i=1

7 Norm - The Concept of Unit Circle x 2 x 1 x

8 Addition & Subtraction b b a a+b a a-b a a-b b b Addition Subtraction

9 Dot or Scalar Product Definition The dot product of two vectors, a = [a 1, a 2,..., a n] and b = [b1, b 2,..., b n] in a vector space of dimension n is defined as n a b = a i b i = a 1 b 1 + a 2 b a n b n = a b cos θ. (6) i=1 Properties a b = b a (commutative) ( ) a b + c = a b + a c (distributive over vector addition) ) ) a (r b + c = r ( a b + a c (bilinear)

10 Dot or Scalar Product - Physical Interpretation Projection of a in the direction of b, ab is given by a b = a b b (7) Corollary ( ) If a b = a c and a = 0, then we can write: a b c = 0 by the distributive law; the result above ( ) ( ) says this just means that a is perpendicular to b c, which still allows b c = 0, and therefore b = c.

11 Cross or Vector Product Definition The cross product a b is defined as a vector c that is perpendicular to both a and b, with a direction given by the right-hand rule and a magnitude equal to the area of the parallelogram that the vectors span. Properties a b = ( a ) b sin θ n (8) a b = b a (anti-commutative) ( ) a b + c = a b + a c (distributive over vector addition) ) ) a (r b + c = r ( a b + a c (bilinear)

12 Cross or Vector Product - Physical Interpretation

13 Cross or Vector Product - Why the Name Cross Product? a b = ˆx ŷ ẑ a x a y a z b x b y b z

14 Scalar Triple Product Definition The scalar triple product of three vectors is defined as the dot product of one of the vectors with the cross product of the other two, ( ) ) a b c = b ( c a) = c ( a b. (9) Properties ( ) a b c ( ) a b c ) = a ( c b = a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3 c 1 c 2 c 3

15 Scalar Triple Product - Physical Interpretation a α h c θ b base Corollary If the scalar triple product is equal to zero, then the three vectors a, b, and c are coplanar, since the parallelepiped defined by them would be flat and have no volume.

16 Vector Triple Product Definition The vector triple product is defined as the cross product of one vector with the cross product of the other two, ( ) ) a b c = b ( a c) c ( a b. (10)
