Inequalities and Positive-Definite Functions Arising from a Problem in Multidimensional Scaling
We solve the following variational problem: Find the maximum of E|X - Y| subject to E|X|2≤ 1, where X and Y are i.i.d. random n-vectors, and |·| is the usual Euclidean norm on Rn. This problem arose from an investigation into multidimensional scaling, a data analytic method for visualizing proximity...
