How to show that $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the norm $\|\cdot \| = \|\cdot \|_1+\|\cdot \|_2$ is uniformly convex

52 Views Asked by At

$\|\cdot \| = \|\cdot \|_1+\|\cdot \|_2$ is clearly a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$. I need to show that $\mathbb{R}^2$ with this norm is uniformly convex.

There are various definitions of uniform convexity, but I cannot find a way to use the most appropriate definition and obtain the desired result.

Could anyone please help me?
