Minkowski Distance

The Minkowski distance is used to measure the straight-line or curved path between two points. It is a versatile metric named after the German mathematician Hermann Minkowski and is employed in normed vector spaces. Due to its ability to generalize several common distance measures, it is an important concept in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and data analysis.

At its core, the Minkowski distance provides a method for measuring the distance between two points in a multidimensional space. $p$

$d(x,y)={\left({\sum }_{i=1}^n|x_i-y_i{|}^p\right)}^{1/p}$
