A Menger Redux: Embedding Metric Spaces Isometrically in Euclidean Space
We present geometric proofs of Menger’s results on isometrically embedding metric spaces in Euclidean space. In 1928, Karl Menger [6] published the proof of a beautiful characterization of those metric spaces that are isometrically embeddable in the ndimensional Euclidean space E. While a visitor at Harvard University and the Rice Institute in Houston during the 1930-31 academic year, Menger ga...
متن کاملGraph Augmentation via Metric Embedding
Kleinberg [17] proposed in 2000 the first random graph model achieving to reproduce small world navigability, i.e. the ability to greedily discover polylogarithmic routes between any pair of nodes in a graph, with only a partial knowledge of distances. Following this seminal work, a major challenge was to extend this model to larger classes of graphs than regular meshes, introducing the concept...
متن کاملMetric Embedding via Shortest Path Decompositions
We study the problem of embedding weighted graphs of pathwidth k into `p spaces. Our main result is an O(kmin{/p,/2})-distortion embedding. For p = 1, this is a super-exponential improvement over the best previous bound of Lee and Sidiropoulos. Our distortion bound is asymptotically tight for any fixed p > 1. Our result is obtained via a novel embedding technique that is based on low depth deco...
متن کاملSpacetime and Euclidean Geometry
Using only the principle of relativity and Euclidean geometry we show in this pedagogical article that the square of proper time or length in a two-dimensional spacetime diagram is proportional to the Euclidean area of the corresponding causal domain. We use this relation to derive the Minkowski line element by two geometric proofs of the spacetime Pythagoras theorem. Introduction Spacetime dia...
متن کاملA Euclidean Alternative to Minkowski Spacetime Diagram
Abstract By re-interpreting the special relativity (SR) postulates based on Euclidean 4-space-time , a geometrical model is formulated called the Euclidean Space-Time (EST) diagram. The EST diagram is a velocity vector model with a real time parameter along the 4th dimension and consequently has a (++++) metric. The model is governed by a circular function geometry and the relativistic variatio...
