Hello, I need to substitute the inbuilt function 'norm' with other matlab code that execute the same function. This is because the function 'norm' is not permitted to be translated using the MATLAB HDL Coder function.
Thank you in advance for the help!

I suppose I can write a simple 1-norm code, that will work for a vector OR matrix.
Thus, the 1-norm of a vector is the sum of absolute values of the vector. So, if X is a vector, then norm(X,1) == sum(abs(X)).
If X is a matrix? Then the 1-norm is the maximum sum of all columns of the matrix. We can see how this works:
X = rand(3,3)
X =
0.72105 0.21868 0.063591
0.5225 0.1058 0.40458
0.9937 0.1097 0.44837
>> norm(X)
ans =
1.4581
>> max(sum(abs(X),1))
ans =
2.2372
>> norm(X,1)
ans =
2.2372
So now we can write a code that will work for any vector or matrix, computing the 1-norm.
function res = norm1(X)
if isvector(X)
res = sum(abs(X));
else
res = max(sum(abs(X),1));
end
This code does not replace norm, in the sense that it is far simpler. It does not compute a 2-norm, or any other norm. It does not work for 3-d matrices, but then, neither does norm work there.
