+As example for one array consider the function \f$r(x)= \begin{pmatrix} x \\ 1-x \end{pmatrix}, x \in [-1;1]\f$.
+The \f$ L_{1}, L_{2} \f$ and \f$ L_{\infty} \f$ norm for the sample value \f$r(-1) = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\f$
+is calculated as follows
+\f{align*}
+    \| r(-1) \|_{L_1} &= |-1| + |2| = 3 \\
+    \| r(-1) \|_{L_2} &= \sqrt{(-1)^{2} + (2)^{2}} = \sqrt{5} \\
+    \| r(-1) \|_{L_\infty} &= \max(|-1|,|2|) = 2
+\f}
+and for \f$r(0.5) = \begin{pmatrix} 0.5 \\ 0.5 \end{pmatrix}\f$ the calculation is
+\f{align*}
+    \| r(0.5) \|_{L_1} &= |0.5| + |0.5| = 1 \\
+    \| r(0.5) \|_{L_2} &= \sqrt{(0.5)^{2} + (0.5)^{2}} = \sqrt{0.5} \\
+    \| r(0.5) \|_{L_\infty} &= \max(|0.5|,|0.5|) = 0.5.
+\f}
+The following graphic shows all values for the three norm functions \f$\| r(x) \|_{L_1}, \| r(x) \|_{L_2}\f$ and \f$\| r(x) \|_{L_\infty}\f$.
+It is notable that the \f$ L_{1} \f$ norm forms the upper and the \f$ L_{\infty} \f$ norm forms the lower border for the example function \f$ r(x) \f$.
