Original question and givens

Only the named real-coordinate formulas l1(v)=sum_i |v_i| and linfinity(v)=max_i |v_i| are supported here. Their universal algebraic certificates, not a finite sample, supply the norm axioms. An unsupported name is outside this protocol, not a claim that every other formula fails to be a norm. norm_name=l1, dimension=15. Give (norm_name,dimension,qualified?,positivity+absolute_homogeneity+triangle_inequality_by_named_formula,not_sampled).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

arbitrary x in R^15;named l1 formula=sum_i abs(x_i)

After

norm(x)>=0;norm(x)=0 iff every coordinate is0

Conditions: none

Every absolute value is nonnegative.A nonnegative sum or maximum is0 exactly when every term is0,that is,the zero vector.Nonempty dimension makes the maximum defined.

Rule: named_norm_universal_positivity_separation · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

arbitrary real scalar a and x in R^15;abs(a*x_i)=abs(a)*abs(x_i)

After

l1(a*x)=abs(a)*l1(x)

Conditions: none

Pull the common nonnegative factor|a| through the finite sum or maximum,including a=0 and negative a.This covers all real scalars,not sampled integer multiples.

Rule: named_norm_all_real_scalars_homogeneity · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

arbitrary x,y in R^15;coordinatewise abs(x_i+y_i)<=abs(x_i)+abs(y_i)

After

sum_i abs(x_i+y_i)<=sum_i abs(x_i)+sum_i abs(y_i);l1(x+y)<=l1(x)+l1(y)

Conditions: none

Apply the absolute-value triangle inequality coordinatewise.For l1 sum;for linfinity bound each coordinate by the two global maxima,then take a maximum.This is a universal algebraic certificate for all vectors.

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(l1, 15, Yes, positivity+absolute_homogeneity+triangle_inequality_by_named_formula, not_sampled)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
