Tight-spans of metrics were first introduced by Isbell in 1964 and rediscovered and studied by others, most notably by Dress, who gave them this name. Subsequently, it was found that tight-spans could be defined for more general maps, such as directed metrics and distances, and more recently for diversities. In this paper, we show that all of these tight-spans as well as some related constructions can be defined in terms of point configurations. This provides a useful way in which to study these objects in a unified and systematic way. We also show that by using point configurations we can recover results concerning one-dimensional tight-spans for all of the maps we consider, as well as extend these and other results to more general maps such as symmetric and unsymmetric maps.
An important problem that commonly arises in areas such as internet traffic-flow analysis, phylogenetics and electrical circuit design, is to find a representation of any given metric $D$ on a finite set by an edge-weighted graph, such that the total
A k-dissimilarity map on a finite set X is a function D : X choose k rightarrow R assigning a real value to each subset of X with cardinality k, k geq 2. Such functions, also sometimes known as k-way dissimilarities, k-way distances, or k-semimetrics
A one-to-one correspondence between the infinitesimal motions of bar-joint frameworks in $mathbb{R}^d$ and those in $mathbb{S}^d$ is a classical observation by Pogorelov, and further connections among different rigidity models in various different sp
We study a family of variants of ErdH os unit distance problem, concerning distances and dot products between pairs of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, we look for bounds on how ma
In arXiv:math/0603621 we introduced the notion of a partial translation $C^*$-algebra for a discrete metric space. Here we demonstrate that several important classical $C^*$-algebras and extensions arise naturally by considering partial translation algebras associated with subspaces of trees.
