A norm on a real vector space is a nonnegative, definite, absolutely homogeneous real-valued function satisfying the triangle inequality; a real normed space is a real vector space with a norm.
In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let , with its addition and scalar multiplication, be a real vector space, with zero vector , and let , , be a function. The conditions below are required for all and all .
