Metrics and quasimetrics induced by point pair function

Abstract: We study the point pair function in subdomains

G

of

m a t h b b R^{n}

. We prove that, for every domain

G s u b s e t n e q m a t h b b R^{n}

, the this function is a quasi-metric with the constant less than or equal to

s q r t 5 s l a s h 2

. Moreover, we show that it is a metric in the domain

G = m a t h b b R^{n} s e t m i n u s 0

with

n g e q 1

. We also consider generalized versions of the point pair function, depending on an arbitrary constant

a l p h a > 0

, and show that in some domains these generalizations are metrics if and only if

a l p h a l e q 12

.
