  Homeomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roughly speaking a topological space is a geometric object and the homeomorphism is a continuous stretching and bending of the object into a new shape.
Intuitively a homeomorphism maps points in the first object that are "close together" to points in the second object that are close together, and points in the first object that are not close together to points in the second object that are not close together.
This characterization of a homeomorphism often leads to confusion with the concept of homotopy, which is actually defined as a continuous deformation, but from one function to another, rather than one space to another.

 Knowledge King - Homeomorphism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If two objects are homeomorphic, one can find a continuous function which maps points from the first object to corresponding points of the second object, and vice versa.
Such a function is called a homeomorphism; intuitively, it maps points in the first object that are "close together" to points in the second object that are close together, and points in the first object that are not close together to points in the second object that are not close together.
As such, the composition of two homeomorphisms is again a homeomorphism, and the set of all homeomorphisms X → X forms a group.

Suppose X is a topological space, and C is a category (often, this is the category of sets, the category of Abelian groups, the category of commutative rings, or the category of modules over a fixed ring).
Schemes are special locally ringed spaces important in algebraic geometry; sheaves of modules are important in the associated theory.
Its local behavior on the interval where it is one is that of a constant function, but knowing that a bump function is the constant one near a given point does not tell you where the function begins to decay; from its local behavior, you cannot even conclude that it is a bump function!

 PlanetMath: covering space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Covering maps are especially important in the study of Riemann surfaces; in this context, one sometimes discusses a generalized notion of covering map called a ``ramified covering''; this allows one to replace a discrete set of the local homeomorphisms by maps that locally look like
Covering maps are also generalized in algebraic geometry; there the corresponding notion is that of étale morphism.
Note that this is a completely separate usage of the word ``cover'' than we encounter in ``open cover''; confusion usually does not arise.

 Subobject classifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the topos of sheaves of sets on a topological space X, it can be described in these terms: take the disjoint union Ω of all the open sets U of X, and its natural mapping π to X coming from all the inclusion maps.
Then π is a local homeomorphism, and the sheaf corresponding is the required subobject classifier (in other words the construction of Ω is by means of its espace étalé).
One can also consider Ω to be, in a (tautological) sense, the graph of the membership relation obtaining between points x of X and open sets U.

Finally, certain control problems, such as path planning, are not of a local nature and cannot be answered via a linear approximation.
The success of the linear model, in control or in identification, is due to the deep understanding one has of it; in the same fashion, a refined knowledge of invariants of non-linear systems under basic transformations is a prerequisite for a theory of non-linear identification and control.
From the algebraic-differential point of view, the module of differentials of a controllable system is free and of finite dimension over the ring of differential polynomials in d/dt with coefficients in the space of functions of the system, and for which a basis can be explicitly constructed [23].
