These are not in DNF, although they can be modified to be expressed that way:
Note: this is based on the formula for the distance between two points in
coordinate geometry, where one of the points is (0,0).
The division by 2 within the square root is an adjustment that normalises the
similarity scores, so that they must lie between 0 and 1
The division by 2 within the square root is an adjustment that normalises the
similarity scores, so that they must lie between 0 and 1.
The distance from position (1; 1) is subtracted from 1 so as to give a higher
similarity score to those documents that minimise this distance.
