(This is a report for the Proceedings of ``Journees Relativistes 1993'' written in September 1993. Containes a short description of the results published elsewhere in the joint paper with A. Ashtekar) Integral calculus on the space of gauge…
The goal of the paper is to study the angle between two curves in the framework of metric (and metric measure) spaces. More precisely, we give a new notion of angle between two curves in a metric space. Such a notion has a natural interplay…
In this paper, we discuss recent results about generalized metric spaces and fixed point theory. We introduce the notion of $\eta$-cone metric spaces, give some topological properties and prove some fixed point theorems for contractive type…
In this paper we offer a metric similar to graph edit distance which measures the distance between two (possibly infinite)weighted graphs with finite norm (we define the norm of a graph as the sum of absolute values of its edges). The main…
In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…
We introduce the concept of ODD ('$\mathbf{O}$rthogonally $\mathbf{D}$egenerating on a $\mathbf{D}$ivisor') Riemannian metrics on real analytic manifolds $M$. These semipositive symmetric $2$-tensors may degenerate on a finite collection of…
Similarity search is an important problem in information retrieval. This similarity is based on a distance. Symbolic representation of time series has attracted many researchers recently, since it reduces the dimensionality of these high…
We prove that every Kaehler metric, whose potential is a function of the time-like distance in the flat Kaehler-Lorentz space, is of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, satisfying certain conditions. This gives a local…
The aim of this paper is to study the topological properties of algebraic sets with zero divisors. We impose a subbasic topology on the set of proper ideals of a $k$-algebra and this new ``$k$-space'' becomes a generalization of the…
Schweizer, Sklar and Thorp proved in 1960 that a Menger space $(G,D,T)$ under a continuous $t$-norm $T$, induce a natural topology $\tau$ wich is metrizable. We extend this result to any probabilistic metric space $(G,D,\star)$ provided…
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of rectangular $b-$metric spaces, by changing the rectangular inequality as follows \begin{equation*} \rho(x,y)\le \theta(x,y,u,v)[\rho(x,u)+\rho(u,v)+\rho(v,y)], \end{equation*}% for all…
A set of points $P$ in a metric space and a constant integer $k$ are given. The $k$-center problem finds $k$ points as centers among $P$, such that the maximum distance of any point of $P$ to their closest centers $(r)$ is minimized.…
We consider the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues of matrices of squared distances between randomly sampled i.i.d. points in a given metric measure space. These numbers and their limits, as the number of points grows, in fact…
Associated to any finite metric space are a large number of objects and quantities which provide some degree of structural or geometric information about the space. In this paper we show that in the setting of subsets of weighted Hamming…
In this paper, the concepts of $K$-subset systems and $k$-well-filtered spaces are introduced, which provide another uniform approach to $d$-spaces, $s$-well-filtered spaces (i.e., $\mathcal{U}_{S}$-admissibility) and well-filtered spaces.…
Generalized metric spaces are obtained by weakening the requirements (e.g., symmetry) on the distance function and by allowing it to take values in structures (e.g., quantales) that are more general than the set of non-negative real…
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
We propose a family of near-metrics based on local graph diffusion to capture similarity for a wide class of data sets. These quasi-metametrics, as their names suggest, dispense with one or two standard axioms of metric spaces, specifically…
We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A. Smith theorem is proved for metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, which…
We use covariant phase space methods to study the metric and tetrad formulations of General Relativity in a manifold with boundary and compare the results obtained in both approaches. Proving their equivalence has been a long-lasting…
