In mathematics, a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the non-negative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin: it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality, and is zero only at the origin.

In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable.The general form of its probability density function is [2] [3] = ().
In mathematics, the operator norm measures the "size" of certain linear operators by assigning each a real number called its operator norm. Formally, it is a norm defined on the space of bounded linear operators between two given normed vector spaces .
Hence, can be found by minimizing the Euclidean norm of the residual = ~. This is a linear least squares problem of size n. This yields the GMRES method. On the -th iteration: calculate with the Arnoldi method;
The norm (see also Norms) can be used to approximate the optimal norm via convex relaxation. It can be shown that the L 1 {\displaystyle L_{1}} norm induces sparsity. In the case of least squares, this problem is known as LASSO in statistics and basis pursuit in signal processing.
The norm of a quaternion (the square root of the product with its conjugate, as with complex numbers) is the square root of the determinant of the corresponding matrix. [ 30 ] The scalar part of a quaternion is one half of the matrix trace .
However a norm-coercive mapping f : R n → R n is not necessarily a coercive vector field. For instance the rotation f : R 2 → R 2, f(x) = (−x 2, x 1) by 90° is a norm-coercive mapping which fails to be a coercive vector field since () = for every .
