Operator Norm - Equivalent Definitions

Equivalent Definitions

One can show that the following definitions are all equivalent:

\begin{align} \|A\|_{op} &= \inf\{c \ge 0 : \|Av\| \le c\|v\| \mbox{ for all } v\in V\} \\ &= \sup\{\|Av\| : v\in V \mbox{ with }\|v\| \le 1\} \\ &= \sup\{\|Av\| : v\in V \mbox{ with }\|v\| = 1\} \\ &= \sup\left\{\frac{\|Av\|}{\|v\|} : v\in V \mbox{ with }v\ne 0\right\}. \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or definitions:

    “But then people don’t read literature in order to understand; they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things; but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
