Multi-argument distances

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a formal definition of a multi-argument function distance. The conventional definition of a distance is extended to apply to collections of more than two elements. Some general properties of multidistances are investigated and significant examples are exhibited. Finally, we introduce the concept of ball centered at a list in order to extend the one of the usual ball in a metric space. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Distances, Assumptions and Social Wasps
The use of distance data in phylogenetic inference retains adherents in molecular systematics, despite the well-established cladistic critique of distances. Molecular distance matrices have been supposed to measure evolutionary divergence; however, trees based upon analyses of such matrices are generally uninterpretable as doing so-under realistic conditions (Farris, 1981, 1985, 1986). In addit...
متن کاملCosmological argument in proving the existence of God from Imam Khomeini's (RA) point of view
This article reviews Cosmological argument in proving the existence of God from the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (RA). At first, various views to the existence of God are reviewed and then its etymology will be reviewed. Cosmological argument proves God through universal premises about truth and world and and the Movement Argument, Casual Argument and Necessity and Possibility Argument are dif...
متن کاملMulti-Argument Classification for Semantic Role Labeling
This paper describes a Multi-Argument Classification (MAC) approach to Semantic Role Labeling. The goal is to exploit dependencies between semantic roles by simultaneously classifying all arguments as a pattern. Argument identification, as a pre-processing stage, is carried at using the improved Predicate-Argument Recognition Algorithm (PARA) developed by Lin and Smith (2006). Results using sta...
متن کاملArgumentation Machines: New Frontiers in Argumentation and Computation edited by Chris ReedTimothy J. Norman
Argumentation may be defined as the study of different aspects of (human) interactions whose objective is to reach a conclusion about the truth of a proposition or the adoption of a course of action. The aspects in question include the argu-mentation interaction, which is typically a dialogue; the construction and presentation of arguments for or against a proposition; the interpretation of arg...
متن کاملLimit theorems for depths and distances in weighted random b-ary recursive trees
Limit theorems are established for some functionals of the distances between two nodes in weighted random b-ary recursive trees. We consider the depth of the nth node and of a random node, the distance between two random nodes, the internal path length and the Wiener index. As application these limit results imply by an imbedding argument corresponding limit theorems for further classes of rand...
