Our motivation has its roots in the current interest in finding effective algorithms to detect and classify relations among elements of a social network. For example, the analysis of a set of companies working for a given public administration or other figures in which automatic fraud detection systems are needed. Given a set [Formula: see text] and a proximity function [Formula: see text], we define a new metric for [Formula: see text] by considering a path distance in [Formula: see text] that is considered as a graph. We analyze the properties of such a distance, and several procedures for defining the initial proximity matrix [Formula: see text]. Using this formalism, we state our main idea regarding fraud detection: financial fraud can be detected because it produces a meaningful local change of density in the metric space defined in this way. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219622022500730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]],"date-time":"2022-09-16T12:14:49Z","timestamp":1663330489000},"page":"1403-1438","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Graph Distances for Determining Entities Relationships: A Topological Approach to Fraud Detection"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"J.
