Norm Induced by the Inner Product

We may define a norm on $\ using the inner product:

\

It is straightforward to show that properties 1 and 3 of a norm hold. Property 2 follows easily from the Schwarz Inequality which is derived in the following subsection. Alternatively, we can simply observe that the inner product induces the well known $L_2$ norm on ${\.
