In a previous work, "pure data" is proposed as an axiomatic foundation for mathematics and computing, based on "finite sequence" as the foundational concept rather than based on logic or type. Within this framework, objects with…

S-metric and b-metric spaces are metrizable, but it is still quite impossible to get an explicit form of the concerned metric function. To overcome this, the notion of $\phi$-metric is developed by making a suitable modification in triangle…

It is well-known that point-set topology (without additional structure) lacks the capacity to generalize the analytic concepts of completeness, boundedness, and other typically-metric properties. The ability of metric spaces to capture this…

We study the topology of metric spaces which are definable in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We show that a definable metric space either contains an infinite definable discrete set or is definably homeomorphic to a definable set…

We investigate harmonic maps from weighted graphs into metric spaces that locally admit unique centers of gravity, like Alexandrov spaces with upper curvature bounds. We prove an existence result by constructing an iterative geometric…

We study a class of complex polynomial equations on a finite graph with a view to understanding how holistic phenomena emerge from combinatorial structure. Particular solutions arise from orthogonal projections of regular polytopes,…

It is shown that four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces can be naturally equipped with some additional structures defined by means of their curvature operators. As an application, those structures are used to characterize generalized…

It is proved that a straight projective-metric space has an open set of centers, if and only if it is either the hyperbolic or a Minkowskian geometry. It is also shown that if a straight projective-metric space has some finitely many…

Using tools from topology and functional analysis, we provide a framework where artificial neural networks, and their architectures, can be formally described. We define the notion of machine in a general topological context and show how…

A finite metric space is called here distance degree regular if its distance degree sequence is the same for every vertex. A notion of designs in such spaces is introduced that generalizes that of designs in $Q$-polynomial distance-regular…

Metrics and pseudometrics are defined on the group of unitary operators in a Hilbert space. Several explicit formulas are derived. A special feature of the work is investigation of pseudometrics in unitary groups. The rich classes of…

Metric spaces $(X, d)$ are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships $d(x, y)$ between points $x, y \in X$. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful…
