We provide general upper and lower bounds for the Gromov-Hausdorff distance $d_{\mathrm{GH}}(\mathbb{S}^m,\mathbb{S}^n)$ between spheres $\mathbb{S}^m$ and $\mathbb{S}^n$ (endowed with the round metric) for $0\leq m< n\leq \infty$. Some of…

We use the $p$-Laplacian with large $p$-values in order to approximate geodesic distances to features on surfaces. This differs from Fayolle and Belyaev's (2018) [1] computational results using the $p$-Laplacian for the distance-to-surface…
