Relaxation of weighted norm distance?












0














I measure the weighted distance between two vector $a$ and $b$ with dimensions weighted by vector $w$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, by the weighted 1-norm:
$$N_1 = sum_i^n |w_i(a-b)_i| = sum_i^n |w_i||(a-b)_i|$$



A relaxation (by relaxing $w_i$) of this norm, that works well for me as input for my classifier, is:
$$N_{1,R} = sum_i^n w_i|(a-b)_i|$$



Could someone point me to a reference of this $N_{1,R}$?



Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
