Manhattan distance

The Manhattan distance, also known as the L₁-distance is the distance between two points measured along axes at right angles. In a plane with p₁ at (x₁, y₁) and p₂ at (x₂, y₂), the Manhattan distance is:

<math> (|x_1 - x_2|^m + |y_1 - y_2|^m)^\frac{1}{m}</math>, when m = 1.

It is so named because it is the distance a car would drive in a city laid out in square blocks, like Manhattan (neglecting that in Manhattan there are one-way streets and some oblique streets).

L₂-distance is called Euclidean distance.

Turret from turret springing, dome from dome, And trellised with red gold. Sun-screened by fruit-trees and the broad-leaved palm, Walk turbaned, dark-eyed men. While loud the merchants vaunt their gorgeous wares. With fragrance of rich gums, See where, unveiled, an arch, young, dimpled face, Peers down upon the mart! She hath cast back the milk-white silken veil: She blossoms like a rose. And open arms that like twin moonbeams gleam? With honeyed, scarlet lips! I come! I come!--Hark! from some far-off mosque The hour of silent prayer, The lattice vanisheth itself--the street, Only through still, soft air The distant fog-horn peal: before mine eyes Blending with vaporous skies. Even to the mighty sun-god's keen red shafts! Thy secret thou dost guard! Within an opal hollow, there abides The Undine of the air-- Dove-eyed, with fair, free-floating, pearl-wreathed hair, Of changing, irised hues. The freshened grass, a richer emerald glows: Her cool dews she distills. She knows the green soft hollows of their sides, O'er the vast-circled seas. .
