norm function

Matrix Norm

The matrix norm, which can be the 1-norm ("1"), infinity-norm ("I"), Frobenius norm ("F"), maximum modulus of all the entries ("M"), or the spectral norm ("2"), as determined by the value of type. methods

## S4 method for signature 'Expression,character'
norm(x, type)

Arguments

• x: An Expression .

• type: A character indicating the type of norm desired.

  • "O", "o" or "1" specifies the 1-norm (maximum absolute column sum).
  • "I" or "i" specifies the infinity-norm (maximum absolute row sum).
  • "F" or "f" specifies the Frobenius norm (Euclidean norm of the vectorized x).
  • "M" or "m" specifies the maximum modulus of all the elements in x.
  • "2" specifies the spectral norm, which is the largest singular value of x.

Returns

An Expression representing the norm of the input.

Examples

C <- Variable(3,2)
val <- Constant(rbind(c(1,2), c(3,4), c(5,6)))
prob <- Problem(Minimize(norm(C, "F")), list(C == val))
result <- solve(prob, solver = "SCS")
result$value
