The Gromov-Hausdorff distance $(d_{GH})$ proves to be a useful distance measure between shapes. In order to approximate $d_{GH}$ for compact subsets $X,Y\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we look into its relationship with $d_{H,iso}$, the infimum…

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…
Let $G$ be a finite, connected metric graph and let $X\subseteq G$ be a subset. If $X$ is sufficiently dense in $G$, we show that the Gromov--Hausdorff distance matches the Hausdorff distance, namely $d_\gh(G,X)=d_\h(G,X)$. When the metric…
