Delta-hyperbolic space

In mathematics, a delta-hyperbolic space is a geodesic metric space that satisfies a thin triangles condition. Let delta geq 0. A triangle is delta-thin if each side is contained in a delta-neighborhood of the other two sides. If every triangle is delta-thin, then we say the space is delta-hyperbolic.
