  2. Erdős number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős_number

    There is room for ambiguity over what constitutes a link between two authors. The American Mathematical Society collaboration distance calculator uses data from Mathematical Reviews, which includes most mathematics journals but covers other subjects only in a limited way, and which also includes some non-research publications. The Erdős Number ...

  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. Graph paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_paper

    Three styles of loose leaf graph paper: 10 squares per centimeter ("millimeter paper"), 5 squares per inch (“engineering paper"), 4 squares per inch (“quad paper") Graph paper, coordinate paper, grid paper, or squared paper is writing paper that is printed with fine lines making up a regular grid. It is available either as loose leaf paper ...

    A large L1-distance between the two vectors indicates a significant difference in the nature of the distributions while a small distance denotes similarly shaped distributions. This is equivalent to measuring the area between the two distribution curves because the area of each segment is the absolute difference between the two curves ...

  6. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    That is (unlike road distance with one-way streets) the distance between two points does not depend on which of the two points is the start and which is the destination. [11] It is positive, meaning that the distance between every two distinct points is a positive number, while the distance from any point to itself is zero. [11]

  7. Shortest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem

    Shortest path (A, C, E, D, F) between vertices A and F in the weighted directed graph. In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized.

  8. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    The denominator of this expression is the distance between P 1 and P 2. The numerator is twice the area of the triangle with its vertices at the three points, (x 0,y 0), P 1 and P 2. See: Area of a triangle § Using coordinates.

  9. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory)

    In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path (also called a graph geodesic) connecting them. This is also known as the geodesic distance or shortest-path distance. [1] Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices. [2]
