Definition
Let $\GF \in \set {\R, \C}$.
Let $\struct {X, \norm {\, \cdot \,}_X}$ and $\struct {Y, \norm {\, \cdot \,}_Y}$ be normed vector spaces over $\GF$.
Let $A: X \to Y$ be a bounded linear transformation.
The norm of $A$ is the real number defined and denoted as:
- $\norm A = \inf \set {c > 0: \forall x \in X: \norm {A x}_Y \le c \norm x_X}$
