On a discrete version of length metrics

Publication date 19 September 2017

Abstract: Let

(X, d)

be a metric space. We study a metric

d_{0}

on

X

naturally derived from

d

. If

(X, d)

is complete and locally compact, or if it is complete and

(d_{0})_{0} = d_{0}

, then

d_{0}

coincides with the length metric induced by

d

. Counterexamples are constructed when any of the hypotheses is absent. The behavior of the iterates of

d_{0}

(the metrics

d_{0}^{n}

inductively defined as

(d_{0}^{n - 1})_{0}

) is also considered.
