The Normalize(v, p) command normalizes the Vector or vector field v with respect to the p-norm.  If p is omitted, it defaults to 2.

If v is a RootedVector, it is normalized in the corresponding vector space, that is, relative to the root point of that vector space.  See VectorCalculus details for more information about rooted vectors.

The 2-norm can also be specified using the value Euclidean for the parameter p.

If the p-norm of the input Vector v is 0, then v is returned.
