It is an elementary fact that if we fix an arbitrary set of $d+1$ affine independent points $\{p_0,\dots p_d\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, then the Euclidean distances $\{|x-p_j|\}_{j=0}^d$ determine the point $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ uniquely. In…

If $S$ is a given regular $n$-simplex, $n \ge 2$, of edge length $a$, then the distances $a_1$, $\cdots$, $a_{n+1}$ of an arbitrary point in its affine hull to its vertices are related by the fairly known elegant relation $\phi_{n+1}…

We give a construction for the d-dimensional simplices with all distances in {1,2} from the set of partitions of d+1.

A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…

In the following paper we continue the work of Bimonte-Lizzi-Sparano on distances on a one dimensional lattice. We succeed in proving analytically the exact formulae for such distances. We find that the distance to an even point on the…

Consider the regular $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ - it is formed by the convex-hull of $n+1$ points in Euclidean space, with each pair of points being in distance exactly one from each other. We prove an exact bound on the width of $\Delta_n$…

Let $X$ be a finite set in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. If the squared distance between any two distinct points in $X$ is an odd integer, then the cardinality of $X$ is bounded above by $d+2$, as shown by Rosenfeld (1997) or Smith…

We develop a new class of distances for objects including lines, hyperplanes, and trajectories, based on the distance to a set of landmarks. These distances easily and interpretably map objects to a Euclidean space, are simple to compute,…

Let $S = \{ {A_1},{A_2}, \cdots ,{A_n}\} $ be a finite point set in m-dimensional Euclidean space ${E^m}$, and$\left\| {{A_i}{A_j}} \right\|$ be the distance between $A_i$ and $A_j$. Define $\sigma (S) = \sum\limits_{1 \le i < j \le n}…

The unit distance graph $G_{\mathbb{R}^d}^1$ is the infinite graph whose nodes are points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with an edge between two points if the Euclidean distance between these points is 1. The 2-dimensional version $G_{\mathbb{R}^2}^1$…

Let $\{p_1, \ldots , p_n \} \subset {\Bbb{R}}^2$ be a separated point set, i.e., any two points have a distance at least $1$. Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer, and $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k$ be real numbers. Let $\delta > 0$. Suppose for all $1…

We consider various problems related to finding points in $\Q^{2}$ and in $\Q^{3}$ which lie at rational distance from the vertices of some specified geometric object, for example, a square or rectangle in $\Q^{2}$, and a cube or…

We show that the maximum number of unit distances or of diameters in a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is attained only by specific types of Lenz constructions, for all d >= 4 and n sufficiently large, depending on d. As a…

Here is a square problem: in a unit square, is there a point with four rational distances to the vertices? A probability argument suggests a negative answer. This paper proves several special cases of the square problem: if the point sits…

For the given regular plane polygon and an arbitrary point in the plane of the polygon, the distances from the point to the vertices of the polygon are defined. We proved that there is one more non-congruent regular polygon having the…

For $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, positive integer $n$, and $d > 0$, let $G(S^n, d)$ be the graph whose vertex set is $S^n$ where any two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are Euclidean distance $d$ apart. The primary question we will…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…

A homogeneous set of $n$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space determines at least $\Omega(n^{2d/(d^2+1)} / \log^{c(d)} n)$ distinct distances for a constant $c(d)>0$. In three-space, we slightly improve our general bound and show…

In this paper, we prove two theorems concerning the sums of squared distances between points on a unit $n$-sphere that generalize two facts previously known about the case where the points are the vertices of a regular polygon. The first…

A finite set X in the d-dimensional Euclidean space is called an s-distance set if the set of Euclidean distances between any two distinct points of X has size s. Larman--Rogers--Seidel proved that if the cardinality of a two-distance set…
