Euclidean distance matrix
A Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) is a real matrix such that for some points in , , where is the 2-norm on .
A EDM inherits the following from the norm that defines it:
- •
;
- •
;
- •
.
Additionally, is a EDM if and only if the diagonal entries of are all 0 and for all whose components sum to 0, .
Finally, the set of EDMs forms a convex cone (http://planetmath.org/Cone3) in the set of all matrices.
