Metric spaces under interval uncertainty: Towards an adequate definition

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In many practical situations, we only know the bounds on the distances. A natural question is: knowing these bounds, can we check whether there exists a metric whose distance always lies within these bounds – or such a metric is not possible and thus, the...
