Metric space

Japanese: 距離空間 - きょりくうかん(英語表記)metric space
Metric space
If a positive number ρ( x , y ) can be defined for any two points x and y in a set R such that it satisfies the following properties, then the set R is called a metric space: (1) ρ( x , x ) = 0, (2) if ρ( x , y ) = 0 then x = y , (3) ρ( x , y ) = ρ( y , x ), (4) ρ( x , y ) + ρ( y , z ) ≧ ρ( x , z ). If ρ is considered as the correspondence between the pair of two points x and y and ρ( x , y ), then ρ is a function. This function is called the distance function, and the real number ρ( x , y ) is called the distance between x and y . A topological space in which such a distance is defined is called a metric space. Examples include Euclidean space, Hilbert space, and Fréchet space.

Japanese:
集合 R の任意の2点 xy に対して,1つの正数 ρ(xy) が,次の性質を満足するように定義できるとき,この集合 R を距離空間という。 (1) ρ(xx)=0 ,(2) ρ(xy)=0 なら xy ,(3) ρ(xy)=ρ(yx) ,(4) ρ(xy)+ρ(yz)≧ρ(xz) 。 ρ を2点 xy の組と ρ(xy) との対応と考えれば,ρ は1つの関数である。この関数を距離関数といい,実数 ρ(xy) を xy の距離という。このような距離の定義されている位相空間を距離空間という。ユークリッド空間 ,ヒルベルト空間,フレッシェの空間などがその例である。
