What is meant by a norm on Rn ? For x∈Rn write
∥x∥1=∣x1∣+∣x2∣+⋯+∣xn∣∥x∥2=∣x1∣2+∣x2∣2+⋯+∣xn∣2
Prove that ∥⋅∥1 and ∥⋅∥2 are norms. [You may assume the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.]
Find the smallest constant Cn such that ∥x∥1⩽Cn∥x∥2 for all x∈Rn, and also the smallest constant Cn′ such that ∥x∥2⩽Cn′∥x∥1 for all x∈Rn.
