Convergence of matrix and norm equivalence

151 Views Asked by At

In textbook related to matrix analysis, when the concept of convergence of matrix is dealt, they give the topology using a norm. Since every norm is equivalent for finite dimensional vector space, we have only to pick a norm and observe the analytic things. However, there must exist a topology such that convergence situation which happens in above topology from a norm does not occur. My question is 'why do the books related to matrix analysis only consider topology from a norm when they discuss the concept of convergence?'.
