Over the last 30 years, researchers have investigated connections between dimension for posets and planarity for graphs. Here we extend this line of research to the structural graph theory parameter tree-width by proving that the dimension…

Diversities are a generalization of metric spaces, where instead of the non-negative function being defined on pairs of points, it is defined on arbitrary finite sets of points. Diversities have a well-developed theory. This includes the…

In this note, we prove optimal extension results for roughly isometric relations between metric (R-)trees and injective metric spaces. This yields sharp stability estimates, in terms of the Gromov-Hausdorff (GH) distance, for certain metric…

Using isometric embedding of metric trees into Banach spaces, this paper will investigate barycenters, type and cotype, and various measures of compactness of metric trees. A metric tree ($T$, $d$) is a metric space such that between any…

The cognitive framework of conceptual spaces [3] provides geometric means for representing knowledge. A conceptual space is a high-dimensional space whose dimensions are partitioned into so-called domains. Within each domain, the Euclidean…

The lattice dimension of a graph G is the minimal dimension of a cubic lattice in which G can be isometrically embedded. We prove that the lattice dimension of a tree with n leaves is $\lceil n/2 \rceil$.

Metric mean dimension is a geometric invariant of dynamical systems with infinite topological entropy. We relate this concept with the fractal structure of the phase space and the H\"older regularity of the map. Afterwards we improve our…

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…

We prove that any closed map between metrizable spaces can be extended to a closed map between completely metrizable spaces with the same extensional dimension.

We define a class of trim metric spaces and show that every finite metric space is the leaf space of a metric forest with trim base.

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…

We study the limits of sequences of spheres and complex projective spaces with unbounded dimensions. A sequence of spheres (resp. complex projective spaces) either is a Levy family, infinitely dissipates, or converges to (resp. the Hopf…

We describe a data structure, a rectangular complex, that can be used to represent hyperconvex metric spaces that have the same topology (although not necessarily the same distance function) as subsets of the plane. We show how to use this…

We study the metric dimension (strong and weak) of infinite graphs. In particular, our main interest is characterizing infinite graphs with finite dimension. Our main results: (1) graphs with more than one end have infinite strong…

A dilatation structure is a concept in between a group and a differential structure. In this article we study fundamental properties of dilatation structures on metric spaces. This is a part of a series of papers which show that such a…

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a popular technique for mapping a finite metric space into a low-dimensional Euclidean space in a way that best preserves pairwise distances. We study a notion of MDS on infinite metric measure spaces,…

We study the problem of how well a tree metric is able to preserve the sum of pairwise distances of an arbitrary metric. This problem is closely related to low-stretch metric embeddings and is interesting by its own flavor from the line of…

The metric dimension of a graph $G$ is defined as the minimum number of vertices in a subset $S\subset V(G)$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $S$, and is denoted by $\dim(G)$. In…
