Hello, I would like to compute distance d(x,A) from a point 'x' to a set 'A', (all in R^n, where n=2 or n=3) that is: d(x,A) = min ||x - a|| (forall a in A) where: n=2 or n=3, x is point in R^n, A is subset of R^n || || is norm (euclidean, max, etc). Can I find Mathematica function or package for such problem ? Thank you in advance, P. Kowalski
