Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 141-145).<br>We study the problem of computing a low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces. More precisely given an input metric space M we are interested in computing in polynomial time an embedding into a host space M' with minimum multiplicative distortion. This problem arises naturally in many applications, including geometric optimization, visualization, multi-dimensional scaling, network spanners, and the computation of ph

Abstract:
Thesis (MSc (Mathematics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: One of the early results that we encounter in Analysis is that every metric space admits a completion, that is a complete metric space in which it can be densely embedded. We present in this work a new construction which appears to be more general and yet has nice properties. These spaces subsequently called hyperconvex spaces allow one to extend nonexpansive mappings, that is mappings that do not increase distances, disregarding the properties of the spaces in which they are defined. In particular, theorem

Abstract:
The constant developments in technology of mobile devices are rapidly increasing the demand for applications on these devices. In October 2010, there were 300,000 applications for iPhone available on iTunes store to be downloaded, and as of January 2011, the application store had over 9.9 billion downloads. Moreover, it is reported that the Blackberry phone has been used by more than 28 million people in 91 countries. Demand for Android phones is also increasing and exceeds analysts' expectations. As a result of the rapid evolution of mobile device development, a new challenge has emerged for

Abstract:
<p>With the emergence and growth of large databases of information, efficient methods for storage and processing are becoming increasingly important. The existence of a metric distance measure between data entities enables efficient index structures to be applied when storing the data. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Amino acid substitution matrices, which are used to estimate similarities between proteins, do not yield metric distance measures. Finding efficient methods for converting a non-metric matrix into a metric one is therefore highly desirable. In this work, the problem of

Abstract:
In this bachelor’s thesis, we try to classify and identify written human languages by studying the ordering of letters in text. Automatic language identification is of interest in areas such as text indexing, machine translation and natural language parsing. Eleven written languages which use the Latin alphabet are considered and modelled with a Markov chain on the letter level. Texts from the New Testament and Wikipedia are used as training data. The distances between the languages are then measured by using a matrix-based metric on the transition matrices, and visualized in a dendrogram. A p

Matthews, S. G. "Metric domains for completeness." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1985. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/60775/.

Abstract:
Completeness is a semantic non-operational notion of program correctness suggested (but not pursued) by W.W.Wadge. Program verification can be simplified using completeness, firstly by removing the approximation relation from proofs, and secondly by removing partial objects from proofs. The dissertation proves the validity of this approach by demonstrating how it can work in the class of metric domains. We show how the use of Tarski's least fixed point theorem can be replaced by a non-operational unique fixed point theorem for many well behaved Programs. The proof of this theorem is also non-o
