Résumé Pour le biologiste, la notion dedistance entre deux ou plusieurs éléments d’un ensemble est très utile car elle sert à mesurer laproximité, laparenté, laressemblance qui existe entre ces éléments ou parties selon le caractère auquel on s’intéresse (position géographique, situation chronologique, aptitudes, phénotypes, composition chimique etc...).
Notes:
Abstract Adistance between two mobiles performing a random walk in one dimension is defined. At a given time this distance is directly related to theprobability of encounter for the mobiles. This definition is used when the motion of the mobiles is a Wiener-Levy process, first in the case of an unrestricted random walk, then if a reflecting or absorbing barrier is introduced.
