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.
