"വ്യാസം" എന്ന താളിന്റെ പതിപ്പുകൾ തമ്മിലുള്ള വ്യത്യാസം

 

== സാമാന്യവത്കരണം ==

The definitions given above are only valid for circles, spheres and convex shapes. However, they are special cases of a more general definition which is valid for any kind of ''n''-dimensional convex or non-convex object, such as a [[hypercube]] or a set of scattered points. The '''diameter''' of a [[subset]] of a [[metric space]] is the [[supremum|least upper bound]] of the distances between pairs of points in the subset. So, if ''A'' is the subset, the diameter is

:[[supremum|sup]] { d(''x'', ''y'') | ''x'', ''y'' ∈ ''A'' } .
