Distance matrix

In mathematics, computer science and especially graph theory, a distance matrix is a square matrix (two-dimensional array) containing the distances, taken pairwise, between the elements of a set. Depending upon the application involved, the "distance" being used to define this matrix may or may not be a metric. If there are N elements, this matrix will…
