Abstract: We investigate exact indexing for high dimensional lp norms based on the 1-Lipschitz property and projection operators. The orthogonal projection that satisfies the 1-Lipschitz property for the lp norm is described. The adaptive projection defined by the first principal component is introduced.

Keywords: 1-Lipschitz property, curse of dimensionality, nearest neighbour, high dimensional indexing, $l_p$ norm
