Talk:Uniform norm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Moved from "Talk:Maximum norm"

This seems to be a special case of the uniform norm. So, how about putting it all on one page?

I did not know there was a page on uniform norm. I created the article because I needed an explanation for maximum norm on the Chebyshev polynomial page. In any case I am a bit confused between the relation of uniform norm (is this the supremum norm?) and maximum norm. How is the maximum norm denoted or . If your are any more knowledgeable then put it on the uniform norm page.MathMartin 21:30, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I now added in a mention to maximum norm on uniform norm. Let me know if you're still confused about the relation between the supremum and maximum, because then I should explain it better. -- Jitse Niesen 14:11, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I think that the term sup norm is quite frequently used for finite and infinite dimensional case. I just created that page as a redirect - since it means supremum norm, I made it point here, but this page is not very nice for beginners - while the page Chebyshev distance is not only a perfect stub, but also this name is less common (IMHO) and not so well chosen (at least if one wants to speak of the norm and not of the distance). — MFH:Talk 13:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
