Consider the function d: R² x R² → R defined by
d(x, y):
min{|y2 - x₂, 1}
if x₁ = y₁
otherwise,
for x = (x₁, x₂), y = (₁, 2)
(That is, for example for x = (1,2) and y = (2,3), d(x, y) = 1, for x = (1, 2) and
y = (1, 1.5), d(x, y) = 0.5, and for x = (1,2), y = (1, 3), d(x, y) = 1.)
Is this a well-define metric on R²? Argue for each condition of a metric if it is satisfied
and provide a justification or counterexample.
