minkowski distance at the infinity












1












$begingroup$


Given that the Minkowski distance between points $X = (x_1,dots,x_n)$ and $Y = (y_1,dots ,y_n)$ is
$$
d(X, Y)
= left(sum_{i=1}^n|x_i−y_i|^pright)^{1/p},
$$
I want to show that
$$
lim_{ptoinfty}d(X, Y) = max_{i=1, dots, n} |x_i-y_i|.
$$

How can I prove that as $p$ approaches infinity, the Minkowski distance approaches maximum difference of coordinates?

          Fix $X, Y$ And assume that $$ |x_1-y_1|geq |x_i-y_i| ast$$ Then begin{align*}
          |x_1-y_1|&leq d(X,Y) \&=|x_1-y_1| bigg(1+ sum_{i=2}^n
          frac{|x_i-y_i|^p}{|x_1-y_1|^p} bigg)^frac{1}{p} \&leq |x_1-y_1|
          n^frac{1}{p} end{align*}



          Here second equality is followed from




          $$sum_i |x_i-y_i|^p=|x_1-y_1|^p bigg{ 1+
          sum_{i=2}^n |x_i-y_i|^p/|x_1-y_1|^pbigg} $$




          And last inequality is followed from $ast$



          And




          $$lim_{prightarrow infty} n^frac{1}{p}=1$$




          so that we complete the proof
