We introduce a type of surgery on metric spaces. This surgery, in some sense, seeks to replace a subspace $S$ of a metric space $X$ with another metric space $T$ via a function $f : S \to T$. When $T$ is a discrete space, this amounts to…

Metric graphs are meaningful objects for modeling complex structures that arise in many real-world applications, such as road networks, river systems, earthquake faults, blood vessels, and filamentary structures in galaxies. To study metric…

Given a set of points in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with $\ell>1$, the pairwise distances between the points are determined by their spatial location and the metric $d$ that we endow $\mathbb{R}^\ell$ with. Hence, the distance…

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance measures the similarity between two metric spaces by isometrically embedding them into an ambient metric space. We introduce an analogue of this distance for metric spaces endowed with directed structures. The…

We present the different distances on tilings of Rd that exist in the literature, we prove that (most of) these definitions are correct (i.e. they indeed define metrics on tilings of Rd ). We prove that for subshifts with finite local…

Persistent homology allows us to create topological summaries of complex data. In order to analyse these statistically, we need to choose a topological summary and a relevant metric space in which this topological summary exists. While…

Learning the embedding space, where semantically similar objects are located close together and dissimilar objects far apart, is a cornerstone of many computer vision applications. Existing approaches usually learn a single metric in the…

Most research into similarity search in metric spaces relies upon the triangle inequality property. This property allows the space to be arranged according to relative distances to avoid searching some subspaces. We show that many common…

In this paper, we introduce the $\mathcal{F}$-metric space concept, which generalizes the metric space notion. We define a natural topology $\tau_{\mathcal{F}}$ in such spaces and we study their topological properties. Moreover, we…

An S-approximation space is a novel approach to study systems with uncertainty that are not expressible in terms of inclusion relations. In this work, we further examined these spaces, mostly from a topological point of view by a…

The conventional definition of a topological metric over a space specifies properties that must be obeyed by any measure of "how separated" two points in that space are. Here it is shown how to extend that definition, and in particular the…

Every countable structure has a sentence of the infinitary logic $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega}$ which characterizes that structure up to isomorphism among countable structures. Such a sentence is called a Scott sentence, and can be thought…

The medial axis of a smoothly embedded surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ consists of all points for which the Euclidean distance function on the surface has at least two minima. We generalize this notion to the mid-sphere axis, which consists of…

We propose a hyperbolic set-to-set distance measure for computing dissimilarity between sets in hyperbolic space. While point-to-point distances in hyperbolic space effectively capture hierarchical relationships between data points, many…

The equivalence of a conformal metric on 4-dimensional space-time and a local field of 3-dimensional subspaces of the space of 2-forms over space-time is discussed and the basic notion of transection is introduced. Corresponding relation is…

S-metric and b-metric spaces are metrizable, but it is still quite impossible to get an explicit form of the concerned metric function. To overcome this, the notion of $\phi$-metric is developed by making a suitable modification in triangle…
