- Let S and T be subsets of a metric space M with norm ||. Define
- S == T iff there exists a bijection f from S to T and a real number
- d such that |x-f(x)| <= d for all x in S.
-
- 1. Show that == is an equivalence relation.
-
- 2. Let M = R^2 and || be the L2-norm. Let G be the set of points
- with integer coordinates, and G' be its image under some rotation
- and translation in R^2. Does G == G'? (I know the answer).
