symbolic matrix norm
Matlab has symbolic matrix norm, does Sage also have a command to compute the norm of a symbolic matrix?
Thanks in advance!

It depends on what you call a "symbolic matrix". If M
is a matrix with entries in the symbolic ring SR
, then M
has a method .norm()
that computes a norm of M
(you can specify which norm as a parameter). However, this method only works when the entries of the matrix can be converted to fixed real or complex numbers (elements of CDF
or RDF
).
for more details, type:
sage: M.norm?
for the documentation and
sage: M.norm??
for the source code of this method.
Hence, if you want to compute a norm (there are many possibilities) of a matrix with symbolic entries such as cos(x)
, then you have to write your own function.
