While sometimes under the radar screen, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a condition more common than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and is estimated to affect 2 percent of the population.rullâs study, âChromosome 9: linkage for borderline personality disorderâ was recently published in Psychiatic Genetics and âHeritability of borderline personality disorder features is similar across three countriesâ was published in Psychological Medicine.
Taxicab geometry is a form of geometry, where the distance between two points A and B is not the length of the line segment AB as in the Euclidean geometry, but the sum of the absolute differences of their coordinates.
Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length, or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. two counties over). In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance.n terms of this, the definition of the Hausdorff distance can be simplified: it is the larger of two values, one being the supremum, for a point ranging over one set, of the distance between the point and the set, and the other value being likewise defined but with the roles of the two sets swapped.
