I am looking for the reference to the following (surely known) characterization of metric spaces that embed into $\mathbb R^n$: Theorem. Let $n$ be positive integer number. A metric space $X$ is ...

Let $A$ and $B$ be Hermitian positive definite $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb C$ or $\mathbb R$. Then for real $k,\ell,$ the matrix $A^kB^\ell A^k$ is well-defined and again Hermitian positive ...

A metric space $X$ is called an absolute $L$-Lipschitz retract if for any metric space $Y$ containing $X$ there exists a Lipschitz retraction $r:Y\to X$ with Lipschitz constant $Lip(r)\le L$. ...

Let $P$ be a compact, convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (infinite-dimensional generalisations welcome, but not necessary). Let's say that disjoint subsets $W_1$, $W_2$ $\subset P$ are opposed if there ...

A polyhedron is the intersection of a finite collection of halfspaces. These halfspaces are not assumed to be linear, i.e. their bounding hyperplanes are not assumed to contain the origin. The ...

I have a N-point metric space defined by the pairwise distance matrix. I want to encode these N points with binary strings, i.e. each point will be mapped to a vertex in a hypercube. The lengths of ...
