| Aug 3, 2022 at 17:03 | comment | added | alesia | ok I see. I think the current formulation is lacking too many details for a mathematical treatment. In your three satellite example, there's clearly no way of finding the distance you want | |
| Aug 3, 2022 at 16:02 | comment | added | CambridgeStudent | a key distinction between the satellite example and the setup of the question, is we don't know the dimensionality of the space. so a simple solution of intersecting three spheres would not work in general. | |
| Aug 3, 2022 at 15:55 | comment | added | CambridgeStudent | was thinking about this as a survey -type problem. for example, there are two satellites, and we want to know the distance between them using distance measurements between the satellite and known ground locations. so I think there are concrete examples of this kind of set up. thanks very much for your help. | |
| Aug 3, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | alesia | It might be helpful to be more specific about the setup, because answer might depend on details. Plus it's not clear in which situation distances between p_i and points in P should be computable while distance between p_1 and p_2 isn't | |
