I am afraid that we cannot define norm_1, etc in this way. (I too made
this mistake in a previous mail) But we can define functions
generalized_norm_1 := sum (generalized_norm_1(x[i])
generalized_norm_2 :=sqrt( sum (generalized_norm_2(x[i])^2 )
generalized_norm_inf := max (generalized_norm_inf(x[i])
norm_1, norm_2, norm_inf are well defined in linear algebra and these
definitions should be respected:
norm_1 := sum( abs(x[i]) )
etc.
These should only be used for vector and matrix objects with 'scalar'
value_type's.
