We show how a metric space induces a linear functional (a "mean") on real-valued functions with domains in that metric space. This immediately induces a "relative" measure on a collection of subsets of the underlying set.
A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…
We study the difficulties associated with the evaluation of the total Bondi momentum at finite distances around the central source of a general (asymptotically flat) spacetime. Since the total momentum is only rigorously defined at future…
Magnitude homology is an emerging framework that captures the intrinsic topological and geometric features of metric spaces, demonstrating significant potential for topoplogical data analysis and geometric data analysis. This work…
In this short note, we show that the distance function to any finite set $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a topological Morse function, regardless of whether $X$ is in general position. We also precisely characterize its topological critical…
It is obtained necessary and sufficient conditions of dependence on $\aleph$ coordinates for functions of several variables, each of which is a product of metrizable factors. The set of discontinuity points of such functions is…
In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…
In this article we studied the relationship between metric spaces and multiplicative metric spaces. Also, we pointed out some fixed and common fixed point results under some contractive conditions in multiplicative metric spaces can be…
In this paper, we propose a generalized notion of a distance function, called a $g$-metric. The $g$-metric with degree $n$ is a distance of $n+1$ points, generalizing the ordinary distance between two points and $G$-metric between three…
A physical metric is defined as one which gives a measurable speed of light throughout the whole space time continuum. It will be shown that a metric which satisfies the condition that speed of light on the spherical direction is that in a…
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…
This paper outlines a possibility for spacetime dynamics and structure, without postulating a metric ab initio. In this model, the closer an object is to a mass or energy source, the more paths through spacetime might be available to the…
The concept of measurability of functions on a charge space is generalised for functions taking values in a uniform space. Several existing forms of measurability generalise naturally in this context, and new forms of measurability are…
We study tetrahedra and the space of tetrahedra from the viewpoint of local and global maxima for intrinsic distance functions.
We discuss five simple functions on finite multisets of metric spaces. The first four are all metrics iff the underlying space is bounded and are complete metrics iff it is also complete. Two of them, and the fifth function, all generalise…
It was established in [8] that Lipschitz inf-compact functions are uniquely determined by their local slope and critical values. Compactness played a paramount role in this result, ensuring in particular the existence of critical points. We…
In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.
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…
In this article, the author proposes another way to define the completion of a metric space, which is different from the classical one via the dense property, and prove the equivalence between two definitions. This definition is based on…
With a simple generic approach, we develop a classification that encodes and measures the strength of completeness (or compactness) properties in various types of spaces and ordered structures. The approach also allows us to encode notions…
