We introduce an equivalence relation on the space $W^{1,1}(\Omega;{\mathbb S}^1)$ which classifies maps according to their "topological singularities". We establish sharp bounds for the distances (in the usual sense and in the Hausdorff…

Let $X$ be a metric space and $BCl(X)$ the collection of nonempty bounded closed subsets of $X$. We show that Hausdorff distance $d_H$ belongs to a specific family of real-valued distances on $BCl(X)$, each of which can be expressed as the…

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…

This paper studies the properties of a new lower bound for the natural pseudo-distance. The natural pseudo-distance is a dissimilarity measure between shapes, where a shape is viewed as a topological space endowed with a real-valued…

For a metric space $X$ we study metrics on the two copies of $X$. We define composition of such metrics and show that the equivalence classes of metrics are a semigroup $M(X)$ Our main result is that $M(X)$ is an inverse semigroup,…

We study the usual notion of Scott rank but in the setting of Polish metric spaces. The signature consists of distance relations: for each rational $q > 0$, there is a relation $R_{<q}(x,y)$ stating that the distance of $x$ and $y $ is less…

We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal…

We consider pairs of a non-empty compact connected and locally connected Hausdorff space and a real-valued continuous function. Our aim is to measure the difference between this kind of the pairs. In this notes we introduce new…

Applications in data science, shape analysis and object classification frequently require comparison of probability distributions defined on different ambient spaces. To accomplish this, one requires a notion of distance on a given class of…

Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type. In this note we study the relationship between two types of $s$-sets: relative to a distance and relative to a measure. We find a condition on a closed subset $F$ of $X$ under which we have…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $\mathcal M_X$ be the set of isometry classes of compact metric spaces $Y$ such that the Lipschitz distance $d_L(X,Y)$ is finite. We show that $(\mathcal M_X, d_L)$ is not separable when $X$ is a closed…

We investigate when the local Lipschitz property of the real-valued function $g(z) = d_Y (f(z),A)$ implies the global Lipschitz property of the mapping $f:X\to Y$ between the metric spaces $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$. Here, $d_Y(y,A)$ denotes…
