Find the Norm
Problem
‖[5,1,2,8,4,3,8,1],[5,9,1,5,7,2,9,1],[7,6,1,8,3,1,8,2],[0,5,0,8,5,4,6,7],[2,8,6,4,1,5,2,1],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]‖_F
Solution
Identify the type of norm to be calculated. For a matrix, the default norm is typically the Frobenius norm, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of all elements.
Square each individual element in the matrix.
5^2,1^2,2^2,8^2,4^2,3^2,8^2,1^2⇒25,1,4,64,16,9,64,1
5^2,9^2,1^2,5^2,7^2,2^2,9^2,1^2⇒25,81,1,25,49,4,81,1
7^2,6^2,1^2,8^2,3^2,1^2,8^2,2^2⇒49,36,1,64,9,1,64,4
0^2,5^2,0^2,8^2,5^2,4^2,6^2,7^2⇒0,25,0,64,25,16,36,49
2^2,8^2,6^2,4^2,1^2,5^2,2^2,1^2⇒4,64,36,16,1,25,4,1
Sum the squared values for each row.
Row 1 sum=25+1+4+64+16+9+64+1=184
Row 2 sum=25+81+1+25+49+4+81+1=267
Row 3 sum=49+36+1+64+9+1+64+4=228
Row 4 sum=0+25+0+64+25+16+36+49=215
Row 5 sum=4+64+36+16+1+25+4+1=151
Row 6 sum=0
Calculate the total sum of all squared elements.
Total Sum=184+267+228+215+151+0=1045
Take the square root of the total sum to find the Frobenius norm.
√(,1045)≈32.32646
Final Answer
‖[5,1,2,8,4,3,8,1],[5,9,1,5,7,2,9,1],[7,6,1,8,3,1,8,2],[0,5,0,8,5,4,6,7],[2,8,6,4,1,5,2,1],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]‖_F=√(,1045)
