Some differential equations are considered in the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry. Here, this means that not only nilpotent infinitesimals, but also the formation of function spaces, is exploited. In particular, we utilize…

In this paper, we propose a generalized notion of a distance function, called a $g$-metric. The $g$-metric with degree $n$ is a distance of $n+1$ points, generalizing the ordinary distance between two points and $G$-metric between three…

It is shown that properties of a discrete space-time geometry distinguish from properties of the Riemannian space-time geometry. The discrete geometry is a physical geometry, which is described completely by the world function. The discrete…

This paper establishes a foundational framework for geometric learning in weighted projective spaces $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{q}}$ by introducing a hierarchical clustering algorithm governed by Finsler geometry. We define a scaling-invariant…

Finslerian extension of the theory of relativity implies that space-time can be not only in an amorphous state which is described by Riemann geometry but also in ordered, i.e. crystalline states which are described by Finsler geometry.…

The generalized Finsler geometry, as well as Finsler geometry, is a generalization of Riemann geometry. The generalized Finsler geometry can be endowed with the Cartan connection. The generalized Finsler geometry and its Cartan connection…

Let $(X, d)$ be an ultrametric space and let $d_H$ be the Hausdorff distance on the set $\bar{\mathbf{B}}_X$ of all closed balls in $(X, d)$. Some interconnections between the properties of the spaces $(X, d)$ and $(\bar{\mathbf{B}}_X,…

The definition of weighted distance measure involves weights. The paper proposes a weighted distance measure without the help of weights. Here, weights are intrinsically added to the measure, and for this, the concept of metric space is…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

We propose a geometric method for quantifying the difference between parametrized curves in Euclidean space by introducing a distance function on the space of parametrized curves up to rigid transformations (rotations and translations).…

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…

Here, a non-linear analysis method is applied rather than classical one to study projective Finsler geometry. More intuitively, by means of an inequality on Ricci-Finsler curvature, a projectively invariant pseudo-distance is introduced and…

We derive Frenet-type results and invariants of spatial curves immersed in $3$-dimensional generalized Minkowski spaces, i.e., in linear spaces which satisfy all axioms of finite dimensional real Banach spaces except for the symmetry axiom.…

Distance function is a main metrics of measuring the affinity between two data points in machine learning. Extant distance functions often provide unreachable distance values in real applications. This can lead to incorrect measure of the…

The generalized distance matrix of a graph is a matrix in which the $(i,j)$th entry is a function, $f$, of the distance between vertex $i$ and vertex $j$. Depending on the choice of $f$, this family of matrices includes both the adjacency…

In this paper we present a unified simple approach to anisotropic Hardy inequalities in various settings. We consider Hardy inequalities which involve a Finsler distance from a point or from the boundary of a domain. The sharpness and the…
