Unit Ball

In mathematics, the open unit ball in a normed vector space V for a given norm \|\cdot\| is
\{x\in V: \|x\|<1\}.
The closed unit ball on V under \|\cdot\| is
\{x\in V: \|x\|\le 1\}.
The 'shape' of the unit ball is entirely dependent on the chosen norm; it may well have 'corners', and for example may look like −1,1n, in the case of the norm l in Rn. The round ball is understood as the usual Hilbert space norm, based in the finite dimensional case on the Euclidean distance; its boundary is what is usually meant by the unit sphere. See also:
