Let $T\colon H\to H$ be a bounded operator on Hilbert space. We say that $T$ has a polygonal type if there exists an open convex polygon $\Delta\subset {\mathbb D}$, with $\overline{\Delta}\cap{\mathbb T}\neq\emptyset$, such that the…

We revisit and generalize the notion of dilation distance ${\rm d_{D}}(u,v)$ between unitary tuples and study its relation to the natural Haagerup-R{\o}rdam distance ${\rm d_{HR}}(u,v) = \inf\{\|\pi(u) - \rho(v)\|\}$, where the infimum is…

To measure the shape similarity of point sets, various notions of the Hausdorff distance under translation are widely studied. In this context, for an $n$-point set $P$ and $m$-point set $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we consider the task of…
