Examples
- Each discrete tree can be regarded as an R-tree by a simple construction such that neighboring vertices have distance one.
- The Paris metric makes the plane into an R-tree. If two points are on the same ray in the plane, their distance is defined as the Euclidean distance. Otherwise, their distance is defined to be the sum of the Euclidian distances of these two points to the origin. More generally any hedgehog space is an example of a real tree.
- The R-tree obtained in the following way is nonsimplicial. Start with the interval and glue, for each positive integer n, an interval of length 1/n to the point 1−1/n in the original interval. The set of singular points is discrete, but fails to be closed since 1 is an ordinary point in this R-tree. Gluing an interval to 1 would result in a closed set of singular points at the expense of discreteness.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
