  Connected space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The components form a partition of the space (that is, they are disjoint and their union is the whole space).
The connected components of a space are disjoint unions of the path-connected components.
The closure of a connected subset is connected.

 Connectedness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, a path connected topological space is simply connected if each loop (path from a point to itself) in it is contractible; that is, intuitively, if there is essentially only one way to get from any point to any other point.
For example, in graph theory, a connected graph is one from which we must remove at least one vertex to create a disconnected graph.
The connectivity of a graph is the minimum number of vertices that must be removed, to disconnect it.

 PlanetMath: connected graph
A connected graph is a graph such that there exists a path between all pairs of vertices.
A connected component is a maximal (under inclusion) subset of vertices of any graph and any edges between them that forms a connected graph.
This is version 4 of connected graph, born on 2002-03-02, modified 2005-08-09.

 Image Analysis - Connected Components Labeling
Connected component labeling works on binary or graylevel images and different measures of connectivity are possible.
The connected components labeling operator scans the image by moving along a row until it comes to a point p (where p denotes the pixel to be labeled at any stage in the scanning process) for which V={1}.
The two last examples showed that the connected component labeling is the easy part of the automated analysis process, whereas the major task is to obtain a good binary image which separates the objects from the background.

 Modeling a Connected Components Algorithm
It is known that as edges are added randomly to a graph, the components in the graph grow slowly until a critical point, at which the entire graph begins to collapse into a single, large connected component.
Connected components is an important problem underlying emerging areas of computational physics, as well as many areas of computer science.
Above the transition boundary, one large component dominates the graph, and speedup is limited by remote memory contention and load imbalance; a minor modification alleviated the load imbalance problem, but a second, uncompleted change is required to eliminate the contention and to obtain good speedups for the connected phase.

That means that whereever the connected-components relation holds between two components, there exists a connection component.
This is logical existence; this connection object may not be present in the memory of a representation system.
However, that object may not be unique, and the same connection object may be associated with several pairs of connected components.

 Connected and Path Connected
Connected and path connected are not equivalent, as shown by the curve sin(1/x) on (0,1] union the origin.
This is a connected half open interval, and its image under the continuous function f is connected.
If c is connected, or path connected, it is an open set relative to itself, and it automatically meets the definition of locally connected, or locally path connected.

When two runs that were not known to be in the same component are determined to be adjacent, which means that two components are being unified, then the area of the combined component is the sum of the areas of the two original components, minus twice the overlap area.
Components whose volume is one, or whose volume is greater than 100K are not considered interesting.

 Segmentation-based clustering
For components that consist of touching characters, we assume that prototypes resembling the characters which they contain are present and that we need to identify them and locate their positions.
After the original segmentation (connected component analysis) and clustering, further segmentation is performed by specifying a threshold on the partial matches to the components.
The same methodology is used as in the matching of partial components to prototypes except that the cost factor associated with a cut is replaced by one that is associated with component combination.

This identifies which connected component each element lies in; all elements of one connected component will have the same "connected component" value, although the value itself will be arbitrary.
Connected will not work correctly on Composite Fields in that no matching of connected components is made across partition boundaries.

 Bi-connected Components in the Journal Citation Report of the Social Science Citation Index
A network component is called bi-connected if for every triple of vertices a, v, and w there exists a chain between v and w which does not include the vertex a.
While a bi-connected network component provides us with a robust definition of a cluster, a factor or a principal component can be expected to remain very sensitive to the inclusion or exclusion of variables in the domain from which it is algorithmically extracted.
At each round the largest component (rightmost column) is further decomposed after increasing the threshold level of the Pearson correlation with another 0.1 (leftmost column).

In a digraph we define a strongly connected component to be a subgraph in which for any two vertices v,w there is a path from v to w and a path from w to v.
Strong connectivity is an equivalence relation on the vertices of G. If G has only one strongly connected component, then G is said to be strongly connected.
This shows that we can find the strongly connected components of G by keeping track of the roots of the components in the order they are (last) found.

procedure is used to count the connected components in a graph.

 Strong connectivity
If we can find all the strongly connected components of a graph, it would be easy to test whether any two vertices are strongly connected: just see if they're in the same component.
The key property, that relates DFS to strong connectivity, is that strongly connected components form subtrees of the DFS tree.
Since the components of the graph are just subtrees of the DFS tree, to find components, we just have to break tree at certain edges, and the components will be formed by what's left of the tree.

A connected component in the image is a maximal collection of uniformly colored pixels such that a path exists between any pair of pixels in the component.
