Defining the $m$-th stratum of a closed subset of an $n$ dimensional Euclidean space to consist of those points, where it can be touched by a ball from at least $n-m$ linearly independent directions, we establish that the $m$-th stratum is…
This chapter explores the notion of "dimension" of a set. Various power laws by which an Euclidean space can be characterized are used to define dimensions, which then explore different aspects of the set. Also discussed are the…
Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean k-space in such a (natu- ral) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. Such drawings will be called k dimensional unit distance representations. When two non-adjacent…
For any graph $G = (V,E)$ and positive integer $d$, the exact distance-$d$ graph $G_{=d}$ is the graph with vertex set $V$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance between them in $G$ is $d$. We study the exact…
We show that a set of non-negative reals is the distance set of a separable complete metric space if and only if it is either countable or is an analytic set which has 0 as a limit point. We also consider spaces with simpler distance sets.
We say that a set of points $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is an $\varepsilon$-nearly $k$-distance set if there exist $1\le t_1\le \ldots\le t_k,$ such that the distance between any two distinct points in $S$ falls into…
Estimates of the fractal dimension $D$ of the set of galaxies in the universe, based on ever improving data sets, tend to settle on $D\approx 2$. This result raised a raging debate due to its glaring contradiction with astrophysical models…
A lattice in Euclidean $d$-space is called well-rounded if it contains $d$ linearly independent vectors of minimal length. This class of lattices is important for various questions, including sphere packing or homology computations. The…
Given a set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$ of $n$ points and a distance $d>0$, the multiplicity of $d$ is the number of times the distance $d$ appears between points in $X$. Let $a_1(X) \geq a_2(X) \geq \cdots \geq a_m(X)$ denote the…
We consider the Cayley graph ${\rm C}(W,S)$ of a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and describe all maximal $2$-cliques in this graph, i.e. maximal subsets in the vertex set such that the distance between any two distinct elements is equal to $2$. As…
If $E \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a compact set of Hausdorff dimension greater than $5/4$, we prove that there is a point $x \in E$ so that the set of distances $\{ |x-y| \}_{y \in E}$ has positive Lebesgue measure.
When we represent a network of sensors in Euclidean space by a graph, there are two distances between any two nodes that we may consider. One of them is the Euclidean distance. The other is the distance between the two nodes in the graph,…
Exact expressions for probability densities of conjugate pair separation in euclidean isometries are obtained, for the cosmic crystallography.These are the theoretical counterparts of the mean histograms arising from computer simulation of…
A well-known theorem of Sch\"utte (1963) gives a sharp lower bound for the ratio between the maximum distance and minimum distance between n+2 points in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In this brief note we adapt B\'ar\'any's elegant proof…
An isometry is a geometric transformation that preserves distances between pairs of points. We present methods to classify isometries in the Euclidean plane, and extend these methods to spherical, single elliptical, and hyperbolic geometry.…
Distance Geometry is based on the inverse problem that asks to find the positions of points, in a Euclidean space of given dimension, that are compatible with a given set of distances. We briefly introduce the field, and discuss some open…
A. Sannami constructed an example of the differentiable Cantor set embedded in the real line whose difference set has a positive measure. In this paper, we generalize the definition of the difference sets for sets of the two dimensional…
Given a finite $n$-element set $X$, a family of subsets ${\mathcal F}\subset 2^X$ is said to separate $X$ if any two elements of $X$ are separated by at least one member of $\mathcal F$. It is shown that if $|\mathcal F|>2^{n-1}$, then one…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $E$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $E$ is defined by $\Delta(E):=\{\lVert x-y \rVert :x,y\in E\}$, where $\lVert \alpha \rVert=\alpha_1^2+\dots+\alpha_d^2$. Iosevich,…
Alternative novel measures of the distance between any two partitions of a n-set are proposed and compared, together with a main existing one, namely 'partition-distance' D(.,.). The comparison achieves by checking their restriction to…
