NAME

max_abs_vector_difference - Returns the max absolute difference between two vectors

SYNOPSIS

#include "m/m_vec_metric.h"

Example compile flags (system dependent):
  -DLINUX_386 -DLINUX_386_P4  
   -I/home/kobus/include
   -L/home/kobus/load/linux_386_p4 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib
  -lKJB         -llapack -lblas -lg2c          -lXext -lX11 


double max_abs_vector_difference
(
	const Vector *first_vp,
	const Vector *second_vp
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine calculates the maximum of the absolute value of the difference of corrresponding elements of two vectors.

RETURNS

The distance between the two matrices, or a negative number if there is an error (not very likely--currently impossible). Note that sending in vectors of difference lengths is regarded as a bug. (See set_bug(3)).

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
