Weird notation

General Usage
1

Traditionally, | v |=max(|v_i|). But in Julia we have:

julia> v=[1.0 2.0 -5.0]
1×3 Array{Float64,2}:
1.0 2.0 -5.0

julia> norm(v)
5.477225575051661

julia> norm(v,2)
5.477225575051661

julia> norm(v,Inf)
8.0

julia> norm(v,1)
5.0

In my opinion it is changed, that is, I guess that the correct way is norm(v,Inf)=5 and norm(v,1)=8. Am I wrong?

Right now you are computing the matrix norm since v is a matrix. Either use vecnorm or actually make v a vector.

julia> v = [1, 2, -5]
n3-element Array{Int64,1}:
  1
  2
 -5

julia> norm(v, 1)
8.0

julia> norm(v, Inf)
5.0

Ok, I get it! My mistake! Thank you!
