# Topic: Continuity topology

 Continuous function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mathematics, a continuous function is a function in which arbitrarily small changes in the input produce arbitrarily small changes in the output. Probably the most common one, found in topology, is described in the article on continuity (topology). In general, sequential continuity is not equivalent to the analogue of Cauchy continuity, which is just called continuity (see continuity (topology) for details). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Continuous_function   (1432 words)

 Continuous function - Wikipédia Dina matematik, a continuous function is one in which arbitrarily small changes in the input produce arbitrarily small changes in the output. All polynomials are continuous, and so are the exponential functions, logarithms, square root function and trigonometric functions. For example, if a child undergoes continuous growth from 1m to 1.5m between the ages of 2 years and 6 years, then, at some time between 2 years and 6 years of age, the child's height must have equalled 1.25m. su.wikipedia.org /wiki/Continuous_function   (1060 words)

 Continuous function (topology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In topology and related areas of mathematics a continuous function is a morphism between topological spaces; that is, a mapping which preserves the topological structure. A continuous functions between two topological spaces stays continuous if we strengthen the topology of the domain space or weaken the topology of the codomain space. In real analysis continuity of functions is commonly defined using the ε-δ definition which builds on the property of the real line being a metric space. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Continuity_(topology)   (849 words)

 Encyclopedia: List of general topology topics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) In topology and related areas of mathematics a topological property or topological invariant is a property of a topological space which is invariant under homeomorphisms. In topology and related areas of mathematics, the disjoint union (also called the direct sum, free union, or coproduct) of a family of topological spaces is a space formed by equipping the disjoint union of the underlying sets with a natural topology called the disjoint union topology. In topology and related fields of mathematics, a discrete space is a particularly simple example of a topological space or similar structure, one in which the points are isolated from each other in a certain sense. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/List-of-general-topology-topics   (4593 words)

 Topology : TopOlogy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Topology is a term used in architecture to describe spatial effects which can not be described by topography, i.e., social, economical, spatial or phenomenological interactions. Topology is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of topological spaces. In pointless topology one considers instead the lattice of open sets as the basic notion of the theory, while Grothendieck topologies are certain structures defined on arbitrary categories which allow the definition of sheaves on those categories, and with that the definition of quite general cohomology theories. www.city-search.org /to/topology.html   (1298 words)

 Topology and Continuity A continuous function and a set whose image is not connected. A continuous function and a disconnected set whose image is connected. If f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b] and f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then there exits a number c in the open interval (a, b) such that f(c) = 0. pirate.shu.edu /projects/reals/cont/topcont.html   (806 words)

 Topology, continuity and neighbourhood filters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Continuity with respect to topological spaces is defined followed by a theorem involving neighborhoods. Continuity with respect to neighborhood spaces is defined followed by a theorem involving topologies. Conversely, given a topology in X, define the neighborhood filters in the usual way: A(x) consists of all subsets Y of X such that x is in the interior of Y. Prove that the topology defined as above from this family of neighborhood filters is the topology you started with. www.thehelparchive.com /new-2370720-279.html   (2898 words)

 Topology at the University of Zimbabwe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Beginning with set theory and metric spaces, this course presents the basic concepts and tools of general (set-theoretic) topology --- continuity, compactness, separation and connectedness --- aiming to show why these are of such crucial importance in so many areas of mathematics, especially geometry and analysis. Topology also has important applications in applied mathematics, computer science and theoretical physics, and the course should provide a useful foundation for postgraduate work in a wide variety of fields.

 M Theory Visionists - Quantum Geometry Topology becomes an important tool in superstring when it is treated as quantum mechanical object. I have to assume that at the local infinitesimal domain of spacetime, the geometry of two linked topologies is elliptic which is the merging of two hyperbolic geometries.

 Science Fair Projects - Finer topology Any two topologies on X have a meet and join, in the sense of lattice theory; the meet is the intersection, but the join is not in general the union. In function spaces and spaces of measures there are often a number of possible topologies. See topologies on the set of operators on a Hilbert space for some intricate relationships. www.all-science-fair-projects.com /science_fair_projects_encyclopedia/Finer_topology   (379 words)

 Comparison of topologies - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) All possible polar topologies on a dual pair are finer than the weak topology and coarser than the strong topology. The join, however, is not generally the union of those topologies (the union of two topologies need not be a topology) but rather the topology generated by the union. In the case of topologies, the greatest element is the discrete topology and the least element is the trivial topology. psychcentral.com /wiki/Coarser_topology   (549 words)

 PMTH335 - Topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) In fact this provides the characterisation of continuity we have been seeking: Two metrics on the same set X determine the same classes of continuous functions if and only if a subset of X is open with respect to one of the metrics if and only if it is open with respect to the other. It is then easy to see that two topologies on the same underlying set are ``essentially the same'' if and only if the same functions are continuous with respect to one of these topologies as are continuous with respect to the other. To define what we mean by continuity of functions is in effect to specify topologies, with two topologies on a given set being ``essentially the same'' if and only if they give rise to precisely the same classes of continuous functions. turing.une.edu.au /~pmth335   (1758 words)

 continuity In film, continuity is consistency of the positions, colors, sizes, etc., of objects onscreen; continuity errors break the illusion of watching actual events. Continuity also matters in other forms of art, such as novels and comics.

 Topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Topology is one of four major areas of abstract mathematics: algebra (equations), analysis (limits), foundations (set theory and logic), and topology. Since topology includes the study of continuous deformations of a space, it is often popularly called rubber sheet geometry. The modern study of topology began with Henri Poincaré at the end of the 19th century, who was investigating foundational questions in celestial mechanics. www.math.lsu.edu /grad/topgrp.html   (468 words)

 On Continuity of the Design-to-State Mappings for Trusses With Variable Topology - Petersson (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the continuity of the mappings which, for a given set of cross-sectional areas of a truss, gives the bar forces and nodal displacements present in equilibrium. We allow the areas to approach and attain zero values, and hence analyse continuity of the state mappings even as the topology is altered.

 Topology Change and Causal Continuity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) In classical theories of gravity, spacetime is treated as dynamical, while the background spatial topology is kept fixed for all time. On quantisation however, the spatial topology is expected to fluctuate.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Abstract: The concept of continuity is familiar to us from our first calculus course, and in multivariable calculus, we learn how to extend this to R^2. In fact, the branch of mathematics known as topology generalizes continuity even more. In this talk we will explain the basics of this generalization, and study a particular example on R^2, called the "plus topology". www.wmich.edu /math/pimuepsilon/intermont.html   (82 words)

So as long as continuity is respected nothing can get rid of the twist or kink in the first vector field. This defect is called topological because we can't get rid of it without forsaking continuity, and as everyone should know continuity = topology. ikhavkin.apmaths.uwo.ca /~igor/blog/index.cgi/physics/topology   (930 words)

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Thus, a space D is injective in sense (1) iff for any space Y and subspace X and any continuous function f:X-->D there is a continuous extension f':Y-->D of f. Perhaps it is not so obvious, however, that injective spaces are also closed under the formation of function spaces, once the space of continuous functions is given the right topology; indeed the category of injective spaces and continuous functions is a cartesian closed category. Many of the properties of these spaces are provable once the spaces can be characterized as a kind of complete lattice with an appropriate, uniquely determined topology; continuity of functions then comes down to preservation of sups of directed subsets of the lattice. www.stanford.edu /~sommer/Scott.html   (287 words)
