Function: norml2 Section: linear_algebra C-Name: gnorml2 Prototype: G Help: norml2(x): square of the L2-norm of x. Doc: square of the $L^2$-norm of $x$. More precisely, if $x$ is a scalar, $\kbd{norml2}(x)$ is defined to be the square of the complex modulus of $x$ (real \typ{QUAD}s are not supported). If $x$ is a polynomial, a (row or column) vector or a matrix, \kbd{norml2($x$)} is defined recursively as $\sum_i \kbd{norml2}(x_i)$, where $(x_i)$ run through the components of $x$. In particular, this yields the usual $\sum |x_i|^2$ (resp.~$\sum |x_{i,j}|^2$) if $x$ is a polynomial or vector (resp.~matrix) with complex components. \bprog ? norml2( [ 1, 2, 3 ] ) \\ vector %1 = 14 ? norml2( [ 1, 2; 3, 4] ) \\ matrix %2 = 30 ? norml2( 2*I + x ) %3 = 5 ? norml2( [ [1,2], [3,4], 5, 6 ] ) \\ recursively defined %4 = 91 @eprog
