 Weak topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, weak topology is an alternative term for initial topology.
The term is most commonly used for the initial topology of a normed vector space with respect to its (continuous) dual.
If X is equipped with the weak topology, then addition and scalar multiplication remain continuous operations, and X is a locally convex topological vector space.

 1-1 Media and Topologies | StudyNotes.net
In bus topologies, all computers are connected to a single cable or "trunk or backbone", by a transceiver either directly or by using a short drop cable.
In a ring topology network computers are connected by a single loop of cable, the data signals travel around the loop in one direction, passing through each computer.
Ring topology is an active topology because each computer repeats (boosts) the signal before passing it on to the next computer.

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.

 Topology Correction of Digital Images.html
In an initial work (MICCAI 2003), a multiple region growing process, concurrently acting on the foreground and the background, divides the segmentation into connected components and successive minimum cost decisions guarantee convergence to correct spherical topology.
The initial segmentation had 3 topological defects (3 handles: euler characteristic of the tessellation X = -4); the final surface has the correct spherical topology.
Correction of the topology of the cortical surface is a much more challenging task: its highly convoluted nature often causes numerous topological defects, which interact with each other, and are difficult to precisely locate and correct.

The problem is classical in (finite) group theory but requires quite different techniques in monoid theory.
In view of the recursive definition of regular languages (and of some powerful theorems!), the problem then reduces to computing the closure of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group F in the profinite topology.
As this is known to be computable, the original problem regarding finite monoids is decidable.

 cage
Topologies can be bounded (where they have an edge, and any addresses off that edge are taken as having some background state), or unbounded (usually where they wrap around on themselves, such as for the surface of a sphere).
Topologies have the ability to normalize addresses, and additionally can make morphologically identical clones of the same size and shape (not necessarily their actual cellular states) for synchronous automata that need to maintain multiple topologies for the sake of simultaneous update.
An initializer is used to set the initial states of an automaton map to the desired settings before the automaton begins.

 Hidden Markov Modeling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The initial topology for an HMM can be determined by estimating how many different states are involved in specifying a sign.
In this case, an initial topology of 5 states was considered sufficient for the most complex sign.
However, after testing several different topologies, a four state HMM with one skip transition was determined to be appropriate for this task (Figure 1).

 Hawley and Krolik: Discussion
The contrast between the initially-poloidal and initially-toroidal cases arises from the fact that the inflow time at any given radius of the disk proper is longer in the toroidal simulation than in the poloidal due to the weaker magnetic stress.
The linear analysis of the MRI shows that the fastest growing wavelengths of vertical fields are axisymmetric and have larger vertical wavelengths, while the toroidal field instability is nonaxisymmetric, favors small wavelengths, and grows transiently as time-dependent radial wavenumbers swing from leading to trailing.
This does not mean, however, that the initial purely toroidal field evolution is the best model; it is in many ways a singular state, and there are sharp differences between it and models that have even a small amount of local net poloidal field.

 3.11 Euclidean path integrals and quantum cosmology
In the Hartle-Hawking approach to quantum cosmology, the initial wave function of the universe is described by a path integral for a compact manifold
This approach finesses the question of initial conditions for the universe by simply omitting an initial boundary, and it postpones the question of the nature of time in quantum gravity: Information about time is hidden in the boundary geometry
This result involves a clever representation of a spacetime triangulation as a Feynman graph in a field theory on a group manifold, allowing the sum over topologies to be reexpressed as a sum of field theory Feynman diagrams.

 Development of a Wireless Sensor Platform for Autonomous Topology
Initial tests were done to determine the angular error associated with a full circle turn and subsequent repeated circles would measure the drift associated with circular motion.
The ideal end result of this testing phase is the realization of a near perfect homogeneity between the units, this does not indicate that the presence of error is not anticipated rather that the presence of error should be somewhat static and predictable throughout each of the units.
Using the initial topology software developed the robots will run the gambit of operations and form the proper topology.
