Sažetak
In this paper, we define a family of distance functions in the
real plane, m-distance function, which includes the
taxicab, Chinese checker, maximum, and alpha distance functions as
special cases, and we show that the m-distance function
determines a metric. Then we give some properties of the
m-distance, and determine isometries of the plane with
respect to the m-distance. Finally, we extend the
m-distance function to three and n-dimensional spaces, and
show that each extended distance function determines a metric. We
also give some properties of the m -distance in three-dimensional space.
