Generalized Induced Norms
Let ||.|| be a norm on the algebra M_n of all n-by-n matrices over the
complex field C. An interesting problem in matrix theory is that "are there two
norms ||.||_1 and ||.||_2 on C^n such that ||A||=max{||Ax||_2: ||x||_1=1} for
all A in M_n. We will investigate this problem and its various aspects and will
discuss under which conditions ||.||_1=||.||_2.Comment: 8 page
Orthogonalities and functional equations
In this survey we show how various notions of orthogonality appear in the theory of functional equations. After introducing some orthogonality relations, we give examples of functional equations postulated for orthogonal vectors only. We show their solutions as well as some applications. Then we discuss the problem of stability of some of them considering various aspects of the problem. In the sequel, we mention the orthogonality equation and the problem of preserving orthogonality. Last, but not least, in addition to presenting results, we state some open problems concerning these topics. Taking into account the big amount of results concerning functional equations postulated for orthogonal vectors which have appeared in the literature during the last decades, we restrict ourselves to the most classical equations
