contents Suppose $m(α)$ denotes the Mahler measure of the non-zero algebraic number $α$. For each positive real number $t$, the author studied a version $m_t(α)$ of the Mahler measure that has the triangle inequality. The construction of $m_t$ is generic, and may be applied to a broader class of functions defined on any Abelian group $G$. We prove analogs of known results with an abstract function on $G$ in place of the Mahler measure. In the process, we resolve an earlier open problem stated by the author regarding $m_t(α)$.
