Dear Narasimham,
I have been able to get answers to these nth pair problems
and so far two of the odd pairs have given distribution type
of answers ( n=4 gives a squared like ellipse/ circle
{(1-t^4)/(1+t^4,2^3/4*t*(1+t^8)^1/4/(1+t^4)})
This result appears to be new geometry.  Most elliptic based solutions
also seem to make measure assumptions?

While doing projective pairs research on the
Fermat type measures, I went to the definition of curvature at math world
and found it was made by Gauss/ Riemann and it assumed a quadratic type
measure:
m(x,y)=Sqrt[x2+y2]
or a Riemanian metric of the type:
ds2=a*dx2+b*dx*dy+c*dy2
It is my impression from reading  that generalized geometry
will allow such measues as:
M(,x,y,n)=(x^n+y^n)^(1/n)
on metrics that have a form with ( n+1) terms:
ds^n=Sum[a[i]*dx^i*dy^(n-i),{i,0,n}]
and n Gaussian curvatures analogs of the form:
K(n)=d^nf[x]/dx^n/(1+(df[x]/dx)^n)^((n+1)/n)
I haven't checked this equation completely,
but it has the right form for what the answer should be.
K(n)=1/a^(n-1)
(so that K(2)=1/a)
would be the sphere analogs in the higher measure spaces.
I don't think that using a K(2) type curvature will work well with my
n based pair functions?
