Mathematically speaking, the distance function should satisfy the following three properties: d (x, x ) ≥ 0, d (x, t ) = d (t, x ), d (x, t ) < d (x, z ) + d (z, t ).
"It's about speaking over distances, which could be the distance of death.
Geometrically speaking, small distances correspond to dense regions of the solenoid face view and large distances to poor regions (Fig. 2).
"In New York-speak, the distance between two Starbucks," Mr. Shaver said.
