Encyclopedia > Final topology

In topology and related areas of mathematics, the final topology on a set X is the strongest topology to make a family of functions into X continuous. Topology (Greek topos, place and logos, study) is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of topological spaces. ... History Main article: History of mathematics In addition to recognizing how to count concrete objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count abstract quantities, like time -- days, seasons, years. ... The notion of a set is one of the most important and fundamental concepts in modern mathematics. ... In mathematics, a continuous function is one in which arbitrarily small changes in the input produce arbitrarily small changes in the output. ...

Definition

Given a set X and a familiy of topological spaces (Yii) with functions Topological spaces are structures that allow one to formalize concepts such as convergence, connectedness and continuity. ...

the final topology τ on X is the strongest topology such that each

is continuous.


Examples

For quotient spaces in linear algebra, see quotient space (linear algebra). ... For quotient spaces in linear algebra, see quotient space (linear algebra). ...

Properties

  • A subset of X is open (closed) if and only if it is open (closed) in all Yi.
  • A function g from X to some space Z is continuous if and only if for each fi is continuous.

In mathematics, philosophy, logic and technical fields that depend on them, iff is used as an abbreviation for if and only if. It is often, not always, written italicized: iff. ...

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.
In topology and related areas of mathematics, the initial topology (projective topology or weak topology) on a set, with respect to a family of functions on, is the coarsest topology on X which makes those functions continuous.
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subspace of a topological space X is a subset S of X which is equipped with a natural topology induced from that of X called the subspace topology (or the relative topology, or the induced topology).
IDD Topology Reconfiguration Plan (466 words)
The original topology for the IDD was put together before Unidata had much practical experience with large volume dataflows over the internet.
However, we can implement a new topology that is well thought out and valid for current conditions, such as they are.
This entails designing a topology based on some initial assumptions that may, or may not be valid.
