Definition (Metric space , Metric).
Consider a non-empty set 𝑥 and a function 𝑑 : 𝑥∗𝑥  𝑅^+ "∪{0}".
This function 𝑑 is called metric on 𝑥 if following conditions are holds:
1) 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)≥0
2) 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=0 𝑖𝑓𝑓 𝑥=𝑦
3) 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=𝑑(𝑦,𝑥) (Symmetry)
4) 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)≤𝑑(𝑥,𝑧)+𝑑(𝑧,𝑦)
The set X with d is called metric Space and written as (X, 𝑑).


Problems 1.1 | d(x,y) = |x| + |y| Metric Space Chapter 01 | Functional Analysis Kreyszig

Show that 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦| is a metric on 𝑅, ∀ 𝑥, 𝑦∈𝑅.
Sol:
𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)≥0
𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦|≥0
The absolute value of any real number is always non-negative and
the sum of a non-negative number is also non-negative , so this
property is satisfied.

𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=0 𝑖𝑓𝑓 𝑥=𝑦
𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦|=0
Since both terms are non-negative, each term must individually
be zero:
"⟺ " |𝑥|=0 "⟺ " |𝑦|=0
"⟺" 𝑥=0 "⟺" 𝑦=0
"⟺" 𝑥=𝑦

𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=𝑑(𝑦,𝑥) (Symmetry)
𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦|
=|𝑦|+|𝑥|
=𝑑(𝑦,𝑥)


𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)≤𝑑(𝑥,𝑧)+𝑑(𝑧,𝑦)
𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦|
=|𝑥+𝑧−𝑧|+|𝑦+𝑧−𝑧|
≤|𝑥+𝑧|+|−𝑧|+|𝑦+𝑧|+|−𝑧|

Using triangle inequality |𝑎+𝑏|≤|𝑎|+|𝑏|

≤|𝑥+𝑧|+|𝑧|+|𝑦+𝑧|+|𝑧|
=|𝑥+𝑧|+2|𝑧|+|𝑦+𝑧|
≠ 𝑑(𝑥,𝑧)+𝑑(𝑧,𝑦)

Since the function 𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=|𝑥|+|𝑦| not satisfies the four properties of a metric space.
