Abstract
In process of conforming grand biological universe, we encounter the problem of defining distances between different taxa of organisms. While we can naturally use the Euclidean distance between natural vector means within groups to inscribe distances between different class groups, other ideas, such as Hausdorff distance or nearest distance between point sets, are also worth trying. This week I will introduce the alternating simultaneous Halpern–Lions–Wittmann–Bauschke algorithm for finding the best approximation pair for two disjoint intersections of convex sets, and give a comparison between different distances on specific dataset.
