Refinement of Metrics: Erd\H{o}s Number, a Case Study

History and Overview 2019-09-02 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We introduce a concept called refinement and develop two different ways of refining metrics. By applying these methods we produce several refinements of the shortest-path distance on the collaboration graph and hence a couple new versions of the Erd\H{o}s number.
