We give a complete characterization of closed sets $F \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ whose distance function $d_F:= \mathrm{dist}(\cdot,F)$ is DC (i.e., is the difference of two convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^2$). Using this characterization, a…

We investigate several topics of the geometry on real Cayley-Klein spaces. An important concern for us is to define a distance function on the projective space in such a way that the distance between two anisotropic subspaces of the same…

We show that the Fr\'echet distance of two-dimensional parametrised surfaces in a metric space is computable in the bit-model of real computation. An analogous result in the real RAM model for piecewise-linear surfaces has recently been…

The transportation problem in the plane - how to move a set of objects from one set of points to another set of points in the cheapest way - is a very old problem going back several hundreds of years. In recent years the solution of the…

We study distance functions from geodesics to points on Riemannian surfaces with H\"older continuous Gauss curvature, and prove a finiteness principle in the spirit of Whitney extension theory for such functions. Our result can be viewed as…

The goal of this paper is to clarify when the solutions to stochastic partial differential equations stay close to a given subset of the state space for starting points which are close as well. This includes results for deterministic…

In this article, we have described the Rao distance (due to C.R. Rao) and ideas of conformal mappings on 3D objects with angle preservations. Three propositions help us to construct distances between the points within the 3D objects in…

Given functions $f,g: [n] \rightarrow [n]$ do there exist $n$ points $A_1,A_2\ldots A_n$ in some metric space such that $A_{f(i)},A_{g(i)}$ are the points closest and farthest from point $A_i$? In this paper we characterize precisely which…
