Finally we study decompositions of infinite separable metric spaces into subsets that, for some K > 1, K -bi-Lipschitz embed into the real line. ...

Constant-Distortion Embeddings of Hausdorff Metrics into Constant-Dimensional l_p Spaces
2016
International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization
For the case of pointsets of size s in the real line of bounded resolution, we obtain a probabilistic embedding into O(s log s) 1 with distortion O(s). ...

Finite metric spaces and partitions

2011
Mathematical Surveys and Monographs
Thus, given a finite metric space, and a computational task, it is natural to try to map the given metric space into a new metric where the task at hand becomes easy. ...
Underling our discussion of metric spaces are algorithmic applications. The hardness of various computational problems depends heavily on the structure of the finite metric space. ...

On Low Distortion Embeddings of Statistical Distance Measures into Low Dimensional Spaces
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we investigate various statistical distance measures from the point of view of discovering low distortion embeddings into low-dimensional spaces. ...
We provide explicit constructions of point sets under the Bhattacharyya and the Kullback-Leibler divergences whose embeddings into any metric space incur arbitrarily large distortions. ...
The lack of inherent "geometric" properties make them harder candidates for low distortion and low-dimensionality embeddings into metric spaces. ...

Proceedings of the thirty-sixth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '04
We initiate the study of the minimum distortion problem: given as input two n-point metric spaces, find a bijection between them with minimum distortion. ...

Approximating the Distortion
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(STOC 04) compute the distortion between one-dimensional finite point sets when the distortion is small; Papadimitriou and Safra (SODA 05) show that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within a factor ...

One of the main cornerstones in finite metric embedding theory is a celebrated theorem of Bourgain which states that every finite metric space on n points embeds in Euclidean space with O(log n) distortion ...
