Metric Embeddings : : Bilipschitz and Coarse Embeddings into Banach Spaces / / Mikhail I. Ostrovskii.

Embeddings of discrete metric spaces into Banach spaces recently became an important tool in computer science and topology. The purpose of the book is to present some of the most important techniques and results, mostly on bilipschitz and coarse embeddings. The topics include: (1) Embeddability of l...
