On The Marriage of Lp-norms and Edit Distance

Summary: Introduces ERP, a metric combining L1 distance with edit operations to support local time shifting. A B+-tree-indexable lower bound combined with triangle-inequality pruning enables highly effective, state-of-the-art time-series similarity search. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
