An undirected connected graph can be interpreted as a metric space by considering the path distance between its vertices. Extending this perspective, we explore how walks in the graph, viewed as sequences of subsets of vertices $V$, fit into a more general framework where the path distance emerges as a special case of broader metrics that define hypertopologies on the space of subsets of $V$. In this paper, we propose a general framework to address this issue, motivated by the extension of recent reinforcement learning algorithms on graphs through Lipschitz function extensions. Our approach demonstrates how models for dynamical systems and related machine learning techniques can be adapted to (quasi-pseudo-metric) hyperspaces, offering a novel perspective for the analysis and modeling of dynamical systems. Finally, we illustrate the practical relevance of our theoretical contributions through a concrete graph optimization example, highlighting the utility and effectiveness of our proposed approach.
We investigate to what extend finite-dimensional homogeneous locally compact $ANR$-spaces have common properties with Euclidean manifolds. Specially, the local structure of homogeneous $ANR$-spaces is described. Using that description, we provide a positive solution of the problem whether every finite-dimensional homogeneous metric $ANR$-compactum $X$ is dimensionally full-valued, i.e. $\dim X\times Y=\dim X+\dim Y$ for any metric compactum $Y$.
In this article, we define a new partial distance on hyperspaces consisting of closed balls, which is a partial metric in the sense of Matthews. We prove that these partial metric spaces are complete if and only if the metric spaces from which the corresponding ball spaces arise are complete. Finally, we compare the topology induced by the new partial distance with that induced by the classical Hausdorff distance.
