Matrix calculations are often sensitive to special characteristics of the
matrices used. The HP 49G has a number of commands that return
characteristics of matrices. Note that some commands are only defined
for square matrices, some for any rectangular matrix.

Description
R (MATRICES) OPERATIONS SIZE
Returns the dimensions of the array
(that is, the niunber of rows and
number of colimms).
R (WiCB) OPERATIONS ABS
Returns the Frobenius norm of a matrix
and the Euclidean length of a vector:
the square root of the sums of the
squares of the absolute values of the
elements.
0 (MAil0 OPERATIONS SNRM
Returns the spectral nonn of a matrix.
The spectral nonn of a matrix is equal
to the largest singular value of the
matrix. Same as ABS for a vector.
R (MATRICES) OPERATIONS RNRM
Returns the row norm of a matrix. The
row nonn of a matrix is the maximum
value (over all rows) of the siuns of the
absolute values of all elements in a row.
The row norm of a vector is the
maximiun absolute value of its
elements.
R (MATRICES) OPERATIONS CNRM
Returns the colunm nonn of a matrix.
The colunm nonn of a matrix is the
maximum value (over all columns) of
the suiTO of the absolute values of all
elements in a column. The colunm
nonn of a vector is the sum of the
absolute values of its elements.
