OPTIMAL LOWER BOUND ON THE SUPREMAL STRICT <i>p</i>-NEGATIVE TYPE OF A FINITE METRIC SPACE
Abstract Determining meaningful lower bounds on the supremal strict p -negative type of classes of finite metric spaces is a difficult nonlinear problem. In this paper we use an elementary approach to obtain the following result: given a finite metric space ( X , d ) there is a constant …
