A Euclidean distance matrix $D(\alpha)$ is defined by $D_{ij}=(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)^2$, where $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)$ is a real vector. We prove that $D(\alpha)$ cannot be written as a sum of $\left[2\sqrt{n}-2\right]$ nonnegative…

Distance matrices are matrices whose elements are the relative distances between points located on a certain manifold. In all cases considered here all their eigenvalues except one are non-positive. When the points are uncorrelated and…
Distances are pervasive in machine learning. They serve as similarity measures, loss functions, and learning targets; it is said that a good distance measure solves a task. When defining distances, the triangle inequality has proven to be a…
