# Category:Distance Function

This category contains results about Distance Function.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Distance Function.

### Real Numbers

Let $S, T$ be a subsets of the set of real numbers $\R$.

Let $x \in \R$ be a real number.

The distance between $x$ and $S$ is defined and annotated $\displaystyle \map d {x, S} = \map {\inf_{y \mathop \in S} } {\map d {x, y} }$, where $\map d {x, y}$ is the distance between $x$ and $y$.

The distance between $S$ and $T$ is defined and annotated $\displaystyle \map d {S, T} = \map {\inf_{\substack {x \mathop \in S \\ y \mathop \in T} } } {\map d {x, y} }$.

### Metric Spaces

Let $M = \left({A, d}\right)$ be a metric space.

Let $x \in A$.

Let $S, T$ be subsets of $A$.

The distance between $x$ and $S$ is defined and annotated $\displaystyle d \left({x, S}\right) = \inf_{y \mathop \in S} \left({d \left({x, y}\right)}\right)$.

The distance between $S$ and $T$ is defined and annotated $\displaystyle d \left({S, T}\right) = \inf_{\substack{x \mathop \in S \\ y \mathop \in T}} \left({d \left({x, y}\right)}\right)$.
