Abstract

Let (X,d)(X, d) be a semimetric space. A permutation Φ\Phi of the set XX is a combinatorial self similarity of (X,d)(X, d) if there is a bijective function f ⁣:d(X2)d(X2)f \colon d(X^2) \to d(X^2) such that d(x,y)=f(d(Φ(x),Φ(y))) d(x, y) = f(d(\Phi(x), \Phi(y))) for all xx, yXy \in X. We describe the set of all semimetrics ρ\rho on an arbitrary nonempty set YY for which every permutation of YY is a combinatorial self similarity of (Y,ρ)(Y, \rho).
