  2. Closest pair of points problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closest_pair_of_points_problem

    The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem is a problem of computational geometry: given points in metric space, find a pair of points with the smallest distance between them. The closest pair problem for points in the Euclidean plane [ 1 ] was among the first geometric problems that were treated at the origins of the systematic ...

  3. Distance matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_matrix

    In general, a distance matrix is a weighted adjacency matrix of some graph. In a network, a directed graph with weights assigned to the arcs, the distance between two nodes of the network can be defined as the minimum of the sums of the weights on the shortest paths joining the two nodes (where the number of steps in the path is bounded). [2]

  4. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    Let be a metric space with distance function .Let be a set of indices and let () be a tuple (indexed collection) of nonempty subsets (the sites) in the space .The Voronoi cell, or Voronoi region, , associated with the site is the set of all points in whose distance to is not greater than their distance to the other sites , where is any index different from .

  5. Metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_space

    In mathematics, a metric space is a set together with a notion of distance between its elements, usually called points. The distance is measured by a function called a metric or distance function. [1] Metric spaces are the most general setting for studying many of the concepts of mathematical analysis and geometry.

  6. Ultrametric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrametric_space

    Define the distance between two different words to be 2 −n, where n is the first place at which the words differ. The resulting metric is an ultrametric. The resulting metric is an ultrametric. The set of words with glued ends of the length n over some alphabet Σ is an ultrametric space with respect to the p -close distance.

  7. Nearest neighbour algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest_neighbour_algorithm

    If all the vertices in the domain are visited, then terminate. Else, go to step 3. The sequence of the visited vertices is the output of the algorithm. The nearest neighbour algorithm is easy to implement and executes quickly, but it can sometimes miss shorter routes which are easily noticed with human insight, due to its "greedy" nature.

  8. Iterative closest point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_Closest_Point

    Zhang [4] proposes a modified k-d tree algorithm for efficient closest point computation. In this work a statistical method based on the distance distribution is used to deal with outliers, occlusion, appearance, and disappearance, which enables subset-subset matching.

  9. Christofides algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christofides_algorithm

    Form the subgraph of G using only the vertices of O: Construct a minimum-weight perfect matching M in this subgraph Unite matching and spanning tree T ∪ M to form an Eulerian multigraph Calculate Euler tour Here the tour goes A->B->C->A->D->E->A. Equally valid is A->B->C->A->E->D->A. Remove repeated vertices, giving the algorithm's output.
