  2. Base (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(topology)

    The set Γ of all open intervals in forms a basis for the Euclidean topology on .. A non-empty family of subsets of a set X that is closed under finite intersections of two or more sets, which is called a π-system on X, is necessarily a base for a topology on X if and only if it covers X.

  3. Level-set method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level-set_method

    The figure on the right illustrates several ideas about LSM. In the upper left corner is a bounded region with a well-behaved boundary. Below it, the red surface is the graph of a level set function φ {\displaystyle \varphi } determining this shape, and the flat blue region represents the X-Y plane.

  4. Comparison of topologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_topologies

    Let τ 1 and τ 2 be two topologies on a set X and let B i (x) be a local base for the topology τ i at x ∈ X for i = 1,2. Then τ 1 ⊆ τ 2 if and only if for all x ∈ X, each open set U 1 in B 1 (x) contains some open set U 2 in B 2 (x). Intuitively, this makes sense: a finer topology should have smaller neighborhoods.

  5. Euclidean topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_topology

    In any metric space, the open balls form a base for a topology on that space. [1] The Euclidean topology on R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is the topology generated by these balls.

  6. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    Solutions to a slope field are functions drawn as solid curves. A slope field shows the slope of a differential equation at certain vertical and horizontal intervals on the x-y plane, and can be used to determine the approximate tangent slope at a point on a curve, where the curve is some solution to the differential equation.

  7. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

    A generator, in category theory, is an object that can be used to distinguish morphisms; In topology, a collection of sets that generate the topology is called a subbase; Generating set of a topological algebra: S is a generating set of a topological algebra A if the smallest closed subalgebra of A containing S is A

  8. Topology optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization

    The design is optimized using either gradient-based mathematical programming techniques such as the optimality criteria algorithm and the method of moving asymptotes or non gradient-based algorithms such as genetic algorithms. Topology optimization has a wide range of applications in aerospace, mechanical, bio-chemical and civil engineering.

  9. Topological geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_Geometry

    Linear geometries are incidence structures in which any two distinct points and are joined by a unique line .Such geometries are called topological if depends continuously on the pair (,) with respect to given topologies on the point set and the line set.
