  2. Taxicab geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry

    In taxicab geometry, the lengths of the red, blue, green, and yellow paths all equal 12, the taxicab distance between the opposite corners, and all four paths are shortest paths. Instead, in Euclidean geometry, the red, blue, and yellow paths still have length 12 but the green path is the unique shortest path, with length equal to the Euclidean ...

  3. Taxicab number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_number

    In mathematics, the nth taxicab number, typically denoted Ta(n) or Taxicab(n), is defined as the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. [1] The most famous taxicab number is 1729 = Ta(2) = 1 3 + 12 3 = 9 3 + 10 3 , also known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number.

    A Taxicab number is the smallest positive number that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. The smallest taxicab number after Ta(1) = 1, is Ta(2) = 1729, [4] expressed as

  6. Gromov–Hausdorff convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gromov–Hausdorff_convergence

    The Gromov–Hausdorff space is path-connected, complete, and separable. [5] It is also geodesic, i.e., any two of its points are the endpoints of a minimizing geodesic. [6] [7] In the global sense, the Gromov–Hausdorff space is totally heterogeneous, i.e., its isometry group is trivial, [8] but locally there are many nontrivial isometries.

  7. Chebyshev distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance

    In mathematics, Chebyshev distance (or Tchebychev distance), maximum metric, or L ∞ metric [1] is a metric defined on a real coordinate space where the distance between two points is the greatest of their differences along any coordinate dimension. [2]
