This 4-th edition of the leading reference volume on distance metrics is characterized by updated and rewritten sections on some items suggested by experts and readers, as well a general streamlining of content and the addition of essential new topics. Though the structure remains unchanged, the new edition also explores recent advances in the use of distances and metrics for e.g. generalized distances, probability theory, graph theory, coding theory, data analysis.
New topics in the purely mathematical sections include e.g. the Vitanyi multiset-metric, algebraic point-conic distance, triangular ratio metric, Rossi-Hamming metric, Taneja distance, spectral semimetric between graphs, channel metrization, and Maryland bridge distance. The multidisciplinary sections have also been supplemented with new topics, including: dynamic time wrapping distance, memory distance, allometry, atmospheric depth, elliptic orbit distance, VLBI distance measurements, the astronomical system of units, and walkability distance.
Leaving aside the practical questions that arise during the selection of a 'good' distance function, this work focuses on providing the research community with an invaluable comprehensive listing of the main available distances.
As well as providing standalone introductions and definitions, the encyclopedia facilitates swift cross-referencing with easily navigable bold-faced textual links to core entries. In addition to distances themselves, the authors have collated numerous fascinating curiosities in their Who's Who of metrics, including distance-related notions and paradigms that enable applied mathematicians in other sectors to deploy research tools that non-specialists justly view as arcane. In expanding access to these techniques, and in many cases enriching the context of distances themselves, this peerless volume is certain to stimulate fresh research.

"The fourth edition of the Encyclopedia of Distances appears barely two years after the third (2014) and contains 76 new entries and 23 additional pages. ... This latest release will be useful mainly to specialists and collections supporting graduate mathematics programs. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (L. R. Zellmer, Choice, Vol. 54 (8), April, 2017)
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This encyclopedia, dedicated to the theme 'distances' in the areas of pure mathematics up to abstract spaces, applied mathematics and applications, includes an impressive rich amount of different topics and knowledge areas. ... The encyclopedia is highly recommended for students and researchers and everybody who is interested in increasing his knowledge on this fascinating field of distances." (Gertraud Ehrig, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1259, 2013)
"This is the second edition of the original text (2006). There are several additions, corrections and some streamlining has been done, but the general idea and structure is maintained. The concept of distance is interpreted in its broadest possible sense. In 29 chapters, the concept of distance is placed in as many different contexts by giving an enumeration of definition and properties. ... The paper version is clearly a welcome asset in a mathematics library." (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, December, 2012)
