of metric spaces.

The concept of quasi-isometry is especially important in geometric group theory, following the work of Gromov.

Definition

Suppose that is a (not necessarily continuous) function from one metric space to a second metric space . Then is called a quasi-isometry from to if there exist constants , , and such that the following two properties both hold:
#For every two points and in , the distance
