A normed vector space is a pair (V, ‖·‖ ) where V is a vector space and ‖·‖ a norm on V.
We often omit p or ‖·‖ and just write V for a space if it is clear from the context what (semi) norm we are using.
In a more general sense, a vector norm can be taken to be any real-valued vector that satisfies these three properties. The properties 1. and 2. together imply that if and only if x = 0.
A useful variation of the triangle inequality is for any vectors x and y.
This also shows that a vector norm is a continuous function.

dual space W* of W can naturally identified with linear functionals
The question is nonsense. A linear square metre is like a square circle! Linear refers to length or distance in 1-dimensional space while a square metre is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space.
Square yards are a measure of area, i.e. 2-dimensional space, and linear feet are a measure of...well, lines, i.e. 1-dimensional space. One cannot be computed into the other.
using the function norm(A,x) where A is the matrix/vector that you have to compute the norm for and x can be 1,2,inf, or 'fro' to compute the 1-norm, 2-norm, infinite-norm and frobenius norm respectively.
There can be linear equations with 1, 2, ... variables. Each of these is different since an equation with n variables belongs to n-dimensional space.
