Abstract
In this chapter we consider a special class of metrics defined on some normed structures, as the norm of the difference between two given elements. This structure can be a group (with a group norm), a vector space (with a vector norm or, simply, a norm), a vector lattice (with a Riesz norm), a field (with a valuation), etc.
