\Ell_p$ Norm
The Lp norm, a generalization of the familiar Euclidean distance, measures the magnitude of a vector in a way that adjusts the emphasis placed on individual components depending on the value of p. Current research focuses on its applications in diverse fields, including deep learning for approximating solutions to partial differential equations (using architectures like ReLU networks), adversarial attacks and defenses in machine learning (exploring optimization schemes and robustness against multiple Lp norms), and efficient algorithms for problems like metric nearness and fair clustering. These investigations are significant because they advance both theoretical understanding of approximation capabilities and the development of robust and efficient algorithms for various machine learning and scientific computing tasks.
