Among the new topics included are, for example, polyhedral metric space, nearness matrix problems, distances between belief assignments, distance-related animal settings, diamond-cutting distances, natural units of length, Heidegger?s de-severance distance, and brain distances. The publication of this volume coincides with intensifying research efforts into metric spaces and especially distance design for applications. Accurate metrics have become a crucial goal in computational biology, image analysis, speech recognition and information retrieval. Leaving aside the practical questions that arise during the selection of a ?good? distance function, this work focuses on providing the research community with an invaluable comprehensive listing of the main available distances. As well as providing standalone introductions and definitions, the encyclopedia facilitates swift cross-referencing with easily navigable bold-faced textual links to core entries. In addition to distances themselves, the authors have collated numerous fascinating curiosities in their Who?s Who of metrics, including distance-related notions and paradigms that enable applied mathematicians in other sectors to deploy research tools that non-specialists justly view as arcane. In expanding access to these techniques, and in many cases enriching the context of distances themselves, this peerless volume is certain to stimulate fresh research. 606 $aGeometry 606 $aDifferential geometry 606 $aTopology 606 $aComputer mathematics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aVisualization 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aGeometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006 606 $aDifferential Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022 606 $aTopology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M28000 606 $aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400X 606 $aVisualization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14034 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006 615 0$aGeometry. 615 0$aDifferential geometry. 615 0$aTopology. 615 0$aComputer mathematics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aVisualization. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 14$aGeometry. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 615 24$aTopology. 615 24$aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis. 615 24$aVisualization. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 676 $a004 676 $a510 676 $a514 676 $a516 700 $aDeza$b Michel Marie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0104076 702 $aDeza$b Elena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299980903321 996 $aEncyclopedia of Distances$92129509 997 $aUNINA
