Euclidean norm: defined

Let II II denote the Euclidean norm and define = gk+i gk- Table I provides a chronological list of some choices for the CG update parameter. If the objective function is a strongly convex quadratic, then in theory, with an exact line search, all seven choices for the update parameter in Table I are equivalent. For a nonquadratic objective functional J (the ordinary situation in optimal control calculations), each choice for the update parameter leads to a different performance. A detailed discussion of the various CG methods is beyond the scope of this chapter. The reader is referred to Ref. [194] for a survey of CG methods. Here we only mention briefly that despite the strong convergence theory that has been developed for the Fletcher-Reeves, [195],... 

We generally denote scalars by lowercase Greek letters (e.g., P), column vectors by boldface lowercase Roman letters (e.g., x), and matrices by capital italic Roman letters (e.g., H). A superscriptT denotes a vector or matrix transpose. Thus xT is a row vector, xTy is an inner product, and AT is the transpose of the matrix A. Unless stated otherwise, all vectors belong to R , the u-dimen-sional vector space. Components of a vector are typically written as italic letters with subscripts (e.g., xux2,.. . , ). The standard basis vectors in R" are the n vectors ei,e2,. . . , e , where e has the entry 1 in the th component and 0 in all others. Often, the associated vector norm is the standard Euclidean norm, j 2, defined as... 

Results for successive iterations of a typical run are shown in Table I. The composition norm is defined as the Euclidean norm of the composition errors... 

A Euclidean norm declares two functions that differ only on a countable infinity of isolated points as being close. This is not too much of a difficulty for the problems we consider, but there is another difficulty. If we want to consider distributions that include one or more discrete components (a semicontinuous distribution), s(x) may well contain some delta functions. This implies, first, that all integrals have to be interpreted as a Stjieltjies ones but even so one has a problem with the right-hand side of Eq. (177), because the delta function is not Stjieltjies square-integrable. One could be a bit cavalier here and say that we agree that 5 (j ) = 5(x), but it is perhaps preferable to keep continuous and discrete components separate. Let, for instance, the mole distribution be i, ri2,.. ., /v, n(x) in a mixture with N discrete components and a distributed spectrum. One can now define the scalar product as the ordinary one over the discrete components, plus... 

The scalar product of two vectors, u and v, may be written as n%. Two vectors are orthogonal if their scalar product is zero. A particularly important quantity involving the scalar product is the Euclidean norm of a vector defined by u = (u u). The Euclidean norm of a vector is non-negative and is zero only if the vector is zero. 

The length (or magnitude or Euclidean norm) b (sometimes denoted B ) of an n-dimensional real vector is defined as... 

A completely different approach is suggested by Riedesel and Jordan (1989) who introduce a compact plot displaying both the orientation and type of source on the focal sphere. Apparently, this plot looks simple and mathematically elegant but introduces difficulties. The moment tensor is represented by a vector defined in Eq. 10, and the coordinate axes ei, 2, and 3 are identified with the T, N, and P axes of M ei, 62, and 63 defined in Eq. 8. The vector is normalized using the Euclidean norm... 

In the above equation, x is the flow direction, and t is time. For steady flows, only spatial variation in the interface location will be considered. The local normal (Euclidean norm), n, tangent, t, and curvature, x-, of the interface are defined below. 

Exercise 10.8 (For students of topology) Consider the topology on S /T inherited from the Euclidean topology on S and the topology on P(C2) inherited from the norm topology on Show that the function F defined in Section 10.2 and its inverse F are both continuous functions with respect to these topologies. 

In preparation for this, let uih be a grid in a domain G of the Euclidean space x = (x1,..., p), -ffft be a vector space of grid functions defined on the grid wh and let the space Hq comprise all of the smooth functions u(k), whose norms are defined by 0 and ft, respectively. In the sequel we take for granted the following assumptions ... 

The least squares solution x of an unsolvable linear system Ax = b such as our system is the vector x that minimizes the error Ax — 6 in the euclidean vector norm a defined by x Jx +. .. + x% when the vector x has n real entries x. ... 

The solver must stop when an acceptable accurate solution is found. A stop criterion must thus be defined by a sufficientfy small residual value or preferably a norm of the residual [166]. In the non-preconditioned CG-method it is natural to use the 2-norm since the euclidean inner product (r, r) is already calculated as part of the algorithm. This is not the case neither in the preconditioned version of the CG-solver nor the BCG-methods. In these methods extra computations are thus required to calculate the stop criterion. For that reason, the less expensive infinity-norm is frequently used as stop criterion for these solvers. One possible criterion is that the norm of the residual must fall below a specific value jrjm < e. However, this criterion is difficult to use when employing the p-norm since this norm is grid dependent. Besides, the tolerance e has to be fit to the system under consideration since the residuals... 

The terms in angular brackets, (v(i), v(/)), are inner products. It is important to note that these formulas only pertain to vectors and represented by rectilinear orthogonal coordinate systems such as those in Euclidean spaces. Also note that other norms and distance functions can be defined, but these are less important in cheminformatics and will not be discussed in this chapter.
