In data analysis, there is a strong demand for graph metrics that differ from the classical shortest path and resistance distances. Recently, several new classes of graph metrics have been proposed. This paper presents some of them…
The Frechet distance is often used to measure distances between paths, with applications in areas ranging from map matching to GPS trajectory analysis to handwriting recognition. More recently, the Frechet distance has been generalized to a…

We study the inertia of distance matrices of weighted graphs. Our novel congruence-based proof of the inertia of weighted trees extends to a proof for the inertia of weighted unicyclic graphs whose cycle is a triangle. Partial results are…
