Corpus analysis for Isometry
- In this selection, "isometry" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 19.8 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, surjective, quasi, tree, groups, symmetry and classes stand out and add context to how "isometry" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include 4 tree isometry was described and a quasi isometry is not. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "isometry" sits close to words such as aami, aat and abada, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with isometry
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Note that a quasi-isometry is not required to be continuous. (11 words)
The 2-4 tree isometry was described in 1978 by Sedgewick. (11 words)
The corresponding map is an isometry but in general not onto. (11 words)
With 2-4 trees, the isometry is resolved by a "color flip," corresponding to a split, in which the red color of two children nodes leaves the children and moves to the parent node. (34 words)
Isometries The map f:M 1 →M 2 is an isometry if : Isometries are always injective ; the image of a compact or complete set under an isometry is compact or complete, respectively. (32 words)
This includes all discrete isometry groups and also those involved in continuous symmetries, but excludes for example in 1D the group of translations by a rational number. (27 words)

A surjective isometry between the normed vector spaces V and W is called an isometric isomorphism, and V and W are called isometrically isomorphic.
If we further consider both spaces with the sup norm the extension map becomes an isometry.
Note that a quasi-isometry is not required to be continuous.

There are more isometry groups than these two, of the same abstract group type.
The same arguments are also valid for a general parallelotope, except the isometry between the simplexes.
This includes all discrete isometry groups and also those involved in continuous symmetries, but excludes for example in 1D the group of translations by a rational number.
Using this distance, the class of all (isometry classes of) compact metric spaces becomes a metric space in its own right.
With 2-4 trees, the isometry is resolved by a "color flip," corresponding to a split, in which the red color of two children nodes leaves the children and moves to the parent node.
