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)

    “The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
    —Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
