Low-distortion embeddings of infinite metric spaces into the real line
We present a proof of a Ramsey-type theorem for infinite metric spaces due to Matoušek. Then we show that for every K > 1 every uncountable Polish space has a perfect subset that K-bi-Lipschitz embeds into the real line. Finally we study decompositions of infinite separable metric spaces into subsets that, for some K > 1, K-bi-Lipschitz embed into the real line.
متن کامل8 Low-distortion Embeddings of Finite Metric Spaces
An n-point metric space (X,D) can be represented by an n × n table specifying the distances. Such tables arise in many diverse areas. For example, consider the following scenario in microbiology: X is a collection of bacterial strains, and for every two strains, one is given their dissimilarity (computed, say, by comparing their DNA). It is difficult to see any structure in a large table of num...
متن کاملAlgorithms for low-distortion embeddings into arbitrary 1-dimensional spaces
We study the problem of finding a minimum-distortion embedding of the shortest path metric of an unweighted graph into a “simpler” metric X. Computing such an embedding (exactly or approximately) is a non-trivial task even when X is the metric induced by a path, or, equivalently, into the real line. In this paper we give approximation and fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for minimum-d...
متن کاملEmbeddings of Proper Metric Spaces into Banach Spaces
We show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of Lp-spaces. We use this locally finite result to construct a coarse bi-Lipschitz embedding for proper subsets of any Lp-space into any Banach space X containing the l n p ’s. Finally using an...
متن کاملBilipschitz Embeddings of Metric Spaces into Euclidean Spaces
When does a metric space admit a bilipschitz embedding into some finite-dimensional Euclidean space? There does not seem to be a simple answer to this question. Results of Assouad [A1], [A2], [A3] do provide a simple answer if one permits some small (“snowflake”) deformations of the metric, but unfortunately these deformations immediately disrupt some basic aspects of geometry and analysis, lik...
