This PR defines a generalization of singular values, the approximation numbers, for continuous linear maps between normed vector spaces. It proves basic lemmas about the approximation numbers and shows that for finite-dimensional vector spaces, the approximation numbers coincide with the standard definition of singular values.

  • The relative value is the weighted sum of the differences with weight given by the inverse of the current value of the statistic.
  • The absolute value is the relative value divided by the total sum of the inverses of the current values (i.e. the weighted average of the differences).
