given a topological space x, a topological distance
given a topological space x, a topological distance is given by d (x, a) = 0 if x ∈ a, and d (x, a) = ∞ otherwise. the induced topology is the original topology. in fact, the only two-valued distances are the topological distances.

given a metric space (x, d), or more
given a metric space (x, d), or more generally, an extended pseudo quasimetric (which will be abbreviated ∞pq-metric here), one can define an induced map d: x × p(x) → by d (x, a) = inf { d (x, a) : a ∈ a }. with this example in mind, a distance on x is defined to be a map x × p(x) → satisfying for all x in x and a, b ...

in topology, a branch of mathematics, approach spaces
in topology, a branch of mathematics, approach spaces are a generalization of metric spaces, based on point-to- set distances, instead of point-to-point distances. they were introduced by robert lowen in 1989, in a series of papers on approach theory between 1988 and 1995.
