norm

Synopsis

Usage:

norm M

norm(p,M)
Inputs:
- M, a mutable matrix, a matrix, a ring element, a number, a vector, or a list
- p, a real number or an infinite number, specifying which norm to compute. Currently, only p=infinity is accepted.
Outputs:
- the $L^p$-norm of M computed to the minimum of the precisions of M and of p.
