implying that

and

Therefore
ˇ ˇ k v kk w k ˇ ˇ k v w k ;
showing that the distance between k v k and k w k cannot exceed the distance between
v and w .
We can also show that with any vector norm the circular neighborhoods of any
vector u 2 R
n , denoted
n ; k v u k <" g ;
U Df v j v 2 R
are convex sets. In order to prove this property assume that x and y are in U ,then
both k x u k and k y u k are less than ". With any vector
z D ˛ x C .1 ˛/ y .0 ˛ 1/;
we have
k z u kDk ˛. x u / C .1 ˛/. y u / k
j ˛ jk x u kCj 1 ˛ jk y u k <˛" C .1 ˛/" D ";
which proves the assertion.
