Norm or not?

Report a typo

Imagine that you have a function, which has the following properties:

$\|l\cdot\vec{b}\|=|l|\cdot\|\vec{b}\|$ for any scalar $l$ and vector $\vec{b}$
$\|\vec{a}+\vec{b}\| \leq \|\vec{a}\|+\|\vec{b}\|$ for two different vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ .

Can this function be a norm?
