$X=\mathbb{R^n}$
Define , $d:X×X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ by
$d(x, y)={(\sum_{i=1}^{n}{|{x_i} -{y_i}|}^p})^{1/p}$ , $x, y\in\mathbb{R^n}$, $0<p<1$
Question: Is $d$ a metric on $\mathbb{R^n}$?
Property : (1) Non-negativitiy (2) Definiteness (3) Symmetry holds.
But, Since $0<p<1$ , hence we can't use Holder, Minkowski inequality. So, how can we prove triangle inequality?
Is there any inequality( like Minkowski that helps us to prove triangle inequality of $p-norm$ for $p\ge 1$) which helps us to prove triangle inequality for $0<p<1$.
Please give me hints to prove triangle inequality of $d$? I can't able to proof triangle inequality.
