Let $\Pi$ denote the space of all permutations of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, and let $d(\cdot,\cdot)$ be a metric on $\Pi$. Suppose I am given a large integer $K$ and I have to select $K$ permutations $\pi_1,\...

We are given a set of $n$ distinct points $S=\{\mathbf{x}_1, \mathbf{x}_2, \ldots, \mathbf{x}_n\}$ in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the distance between two points $\mathbf{x}_i,\mathbf{x}_j\...

Points $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ on a line form a set from $n(n-1)/2$ distances between them. Suppose all that distances are different, numerating them from the shortest to the longest one we obtain some ...
