Abstract
In the paper we prove that, for arbitrary unbounded subset 𝐴 ⊂ 𝑅 and an arbitrary bounded metric space 𝑋, a curve 𝐴 ×ℓ1 (𝑡𝑋), 𝑡 ∈ [0, ∞) is a geodesic line in the Gromov – Hausdorff class. We also show that, for abitrary 𝜆 > 1, 𝑛 ∈ N, the following inequality holds: dist𝐺𝐻 (︀Z𝑛, 𝜆Z𝑛)︀⩾ 1/2 . We conclude that a curve 𝑡Z𝑛, 𝑡 ∈ (0, ∞) is not continuous with respect to the Gromov – Hausdorff distance, and, therefore, is not a gedesic line. Moreover, it follows that multiplication of all metric spaces lying on the finite Gromov – Hausdorff distance from R𝑛
on some 𝜆 > 0 is also discontinous with respect to the Gromov – Hausdorff distance.
