Motivated by Leinster-Cobbold measures of biodiversity, the notion of the spread of a finite metric space is introduced. This is related to Leinster's magnitude of a metric space. Spread is generalized to infinite metric spaces equipped…
Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…
Metric spaces are a fundamental component of mathematics and have a paramount importance as a framework for measuring distance. They can be found in many different branches of mathematics, such as analysis and topology. This paper offers an…
A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…
In the context of metric structures introduced by Ben Yaacov, Berenstein, Henson, and Usvyatsov, we exhibit an explicit encoding of metric structures in countable signatures as pure metric spaces in the empty signature, showing that such…
We show, following W. Holsztynski, that there exists a continuous metric d on the set of real numbers R such that any finite metric space is isometrically embeddable into (R,d).
In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…
The question in the title is discussed briefly, with emphasis on a few basic examples and their properties.
Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…
We investigate a tangent space at a point of a general metric space and metric space valued derivatives. The conditions under which two different subspace of a metric space have isometric tangent spaces in a common point of these subspaces…
In this paper we make some observations concerning m-metric spaces and point out some discrepancies in the proofs found in the literature. To remedy this, we propose a new topological construction and prove that it is in fact a…
We introduced the concept of a metric value set (MVS) in an earlier paper \cite{GM} and developed the idea further in \cite{AS}. In this paper we study locally $M$-metrizable spaces and the products of $M$-metrizable spaces. Finally we…
Very recently, Mehadi et al [M. Asadi, E. Karap{\i}nar, and P. Salimi, New extension of partial metric spaces with some fixed-point results on $M-$metric spaces] extended the partial metric spaces to the notion of $M-$metric spaces. In this…
A labeled metric space is intuitively speaking a metric space together with a special set of points to be understood as the geometric boundary of the space. We study basic properties of a recently introduced labeled Gromov-Hausdorff…
In this paper, we introduce the $\mathcal{F}$-metric space concept, which generalizes the metric space notion. We define a natural topology $\tau_{\mathcal{F}}$ in such spaces and we study their topological properties. Moreover, we…
Finite metric spaces arise in many different contexts. Enormous bodies of data, scientific, commercial and others can often be viewed as large metric spaces. It turns out that the metric of graphs reveals a lot of interesting information.…
A metric measure space is a metric space with a Borel measure. In Gromov's theory of metric measure spaces, there are important invariants called the partial diameter and the observable diameter. We obtain the result that the partial…
In this article, we introduce the concept of lexicographic metric space and, after discussing some basic properties of these metric spaces, such as completeness, boundedness, compactness and separability, we obtain a formula for the metric…
A metric space is indivisible if for any partition of it into finitely many pieces one piece contains an isometric copy of the whole space. Continuing our investigation of indivisible metric spaces, we show that a countable ultrametric…
The paper deals with pretangent spaces to general metric spaces. An ltrametricity criterion for pretangent spaces is found and it is closely related to the metric betweenness in the pretangent spaces.
