Continuity of the magnitude for finite metric spaces with nonnegative weightings

Abstract

For finite metric spaces, magnitude is an invariant known to be discontinuous everywhere with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance. While much of the literature focuses on positive definite metric spaces, here we consider finite metric spaces admitting a nonnegative weighting. In this paper, we focus on the class of finite metric spaces that admit a nonnegative weighting. This class includes ultrametric spaces, for which specific bounds on magnitude are known. We generalize these bounds by proving that, for any two finite metric spaces with nonnegative weightings, the ratio of their magnitudes is exponentially bounded by their Gromov-Hausdorff distance. Consequently, we show that within this class, the logarithmic magnitude function is Lipschitz continuous, and the magnitude function itself is locally Lipschitz continuous, but not Lipschitz continuous.
