+    logarithmic_norm(A::AbstractMatrix, p::Real=Inf)
+
+Compute the logarithmic norm (also known as matrix measure) for commonly used p-norms.
+
+### Input
+
+- `A` -- matrix
+- `p` -- (optional, default: `Inf`) p-norm
+
+### Output
+
+A number representing the logarithmic norm.
+
+### Notes
+
+The implementation currently supports the following values for `p`: `1`, `2`, `Inf`.
+
+See [DesoerV09](@citet) for a reference.
