Lecture 7 Norms ad Codto Numbers To dscuss the errors umerca probems vovg vectors, t s usefu to empo orms. Vector Norm O a vector space V, a orm s a fucto from V to the set of o-egatve reas that obes three postuates: > 0 0, C λ = λ λ R, V + +, V ( Traguar Iequat) we ca thk of as the egth or magtude of the vector. The most famar orm o R s the Eucdea -orm defed b -orm defed b = ma = / -orm defed b = I geera p-orm, defed b p -orm defed b p = p / p for p >0ad-vector Eampe : Usg the orm, compare the egths of the foowg three vectors R. Repeat t for other orms =(,,-,) T, v = (0, 5, 5, 5) T, w = (6, 0, 0, 0) T Souto: X 6 8 v 5 8.66 5 w 6 6 6
To uderstad these orms better, t s structve to cosder R. For the three orms gve above, we sketches Fgure of the set : R, { } Ths set s caed the ut ce or the ut ba two-dmesoa vector space.

Sce = ma 0 m 0 The codto umber of the matr measures the rato of the mamum reatve stretchg to the mamum reatve shrkg that matr does to a o ero vectors. other wa to sa that the codto umber of a matr measures the amout of dstorto of the ut sphere ( the correspodg vector orm) uder the trasformato b the matr. The arger the codto umber, the more dstorted (reatve og ad th) the ut sphere becomes whe trasformed b the matr.
I two dmesos, for eampe, the ut crce the -orm becomes ad creasg cgar shaped epse, ad wth the -orm or - orm, the ut sphere s trasformed from a square to creasg skewed paraeogram as the codto umber creases. The codto umber a measure of how cose a matr s to beg sguar: a matr wth arge codto umber s ear sguar, whereas a matr wth codto umber cose to s far from beg sguar. It s obvous from the defto that a osguar matr ad ts verse have the same codto umber. Note: Large codto umber of mea s ear sguar. Propertes of the codto umber. For a matr, cod (). For dett matr, cod (I) = 3. For a matr ad scaar γ, cod (γ ) = cod (). For a dagoa matr D = Dag(d ), cod (D) = (ma d )/(m d ) Computg Codto umber Defto of codto umber voves matr verse, so otrva to compute Computg codto umber from the defto woud requre much more work tha computg souto whose accurac to be assessed. I practce, codto umber estmated epesve as bproduct of souto process Matr orm ca be eas computed as mamum absoute coum sum (or row sum, depedg o orm used) But, estmatg at ow cost more chaegg Computg Codto Number We w ow see the usefuess of the codto umber assessg the accurac of the souto to ear sstem. I fact, to compute the codto umber drect from defto woud requre substata more work tha sovg the ear sstem whose accurac s to be assessed. I practce, therefore the codto umber s mere estmated, to perhaps wth a order of magtude, as a reatve epesve bproduct of the souto procedure. From the propertes of orm, we kow that s the souto of = the
