Abstract.
We define two norms on \({\Bbb R}^3\) as follows. For \((a,b,c) \in {\Bbb R}^3,\) we let \(\Vert (a,b,c)\Vert _{\Bbb R}\equiv \sup \, \{ |ax^2 + bx + c|\, :\, x \in [-1,1]\} \) and \(\Vert (a,b,c)\Vert _{\Bbb C}\equiv \sup \, \{ |az^2 + bz + c|:\) \(\, z\in {\Bbb C},\ |z| \leq 1\} .\) Geometric properties of these norms are investigated. In particular, we give explicit formulas for these norms, describe the extreme points of the corresponding unit balls, give a parametric description of the unit spheres, and plot their images.
