Topology Metric Space Pdf Topology metric space pdf Continue A mathematical set that determines distance in mathematics, the metric space is set together with the metric on the set. A metric is a function that defines the concept of distance between any two members of a set that are commonly referred to as dots. The metric satisfies several simple properties. Unofficially: The distance from A displaystyle A to B displaystyle B is zero, if only in the event if A displaystyle A and B displaystyle B are one point, the distance between the two separate points is positive, the distance from A displaystyle A to B displaystyle B is the same as the distance from B displaystyle B to A displaystyle A and the distance from A displaystyle A to B display B (straight) less or equal distance from Display A to display B third point C (C display). The metric in space induces topological properties, such as open and closed sets, which lead to the study of more abstract topological spaces. The most familiar metric space is the three-dimensional Euclidean space. In fact, the metric is a generalization of the Euclidean metric derived from the four long-known properties of euclidean distance. The Euclidean metric defines the distance between the two points as the length of the straight line segment connecting them. Other metric spaces are found, for example, in elliptical geometry and hyperbolic geometry, where the distance in the sphere measured by the angle is a metric, and the hyperboloid model of hyperbolic geometry is used by a special theory of relativity as a metric space of velocities. History This section needs to be expanded with: Reasons for generalizing euclidean metrics, the first non-Euclidean metrics studied, the implications for mathematics. You can help by adding to it. (August 2011) In 1906, Maurice Frechet introduced metric spaces in his work Sur quelques points du calcul fonctionnel. However, the name is associated with Felix Hausdorf. The definition of a metric area is an orderly pair (M, d) displaystyle (M,d) where M displaystyle M is a set and d displaystyle d is a metric on M displaystyle M, i.e., function d : M × M → R displaystyle d, colon M Meow matebb (R) such as for any x, y, z ∈ M displaystyle x,y,zin M, following holds: d (x, y) - 0 ⟺ x y displaystyle d (x ,y) 0'iff x'y identity indistinguishable 2. d (x, y) q d (y, x) (displaystyle d(x,y) d (y,x) . d (x, z) ≤ d (x, y) q d (y, z) 'displaystyle d'x,z)'leq d (x,y)d (y,z) sub-double or triangle of inequality Given above three axioms, we also have that d (x, y) ≥ 0 displaystyle d'x,y)geq 0 for any x , y ∈ M «displaystyle x,y»in M. This follows: d (x, y) q d (y, x) ≥ d (x, x) by triangle of inequality d (x, y) q d (x, y) ≥ d 2 d (x, y) ≥ 0 'displaystyle 2d (x,y) 'geq 0' by identity of indistinguishable d (x, y) ≥ 0 displaystyle d (x,y) Often, d'displaystyle d' descends, and one simply writes M 'display M' for metric space, if clearly out of context, which metric is used. Ignoring mathematical details, for any system of roads and terrain the distance between the two locations can be defined as the length of the shortest route connecting these places. To be a metric there should be no roads on one side. The triangle of inequality expresses the fact that detours are not shortcuts. If the distance between the two points is zero, the two points are indistinguishable from each other. Many of the following examples can be seen as concrete versions of this general idea. Examples of metric spaces Real numbers with distance function d (x, y ) y q x Displaystyle d(x,y)vert y-x'vert, considered absolute difference, and, more generally, Euclidean n-space with euclide distance, are full of metric spaces. Rational numbers with the same distance function also form a metric area, but not a full one. Positive real numbers with distance function d (x, y) log ⁡ (g/x) Displaystyle d(x,y) vert s log (y/x) - is a complete metric space. Any normative vector space is a metric space, defining d (x, y) - ‖ y - x ‖ displaystyle d(x,y) ' lVert y-x'rVert, see also metrics by vector spaces. (If such space is complete, we call it the Banah space.) Examples: The Manhattan norm leads to the distance of Manhattan, where the distance between any two points or vectors is the sum of the differences between the respective coordinates. The maximum rule leads to the distance of Chebyshev or the chessboard, the minimum number of moves the chess king will take for the trip from x displaystyle x to y displaystyle y. The British Rail metric (also called post office metric or SNCF metric) in the normative vector space is given d (x, y) - ‖ x ‖ and ‖ y ‖ display d (x,y)'lVert x'rVert 'lVert y'rVert - for individual points x displaystyle x and displaystyle x More generally, ‖. ‖ «displaystyle »lVert .' rVert can be replaced by a displaystyle f function with an arbitrary set of Sdisplaystyle S to invalid reals and no more than once, taking the value 0 displaystyle 0: then the metric is determined by S -displaystyle S' by d (x, f (f) f (f) displaystyle d(x,y)'f'f'f(y) for individual points x displaystyle x and y displaystyle y and d (x, x) . final destination. If (M, d) displaystyle(M,d) is a metric space, and X displaystyle X is a subset of M'displaystyle M, then (X, d) displaystyle (X,d) becomes a metric space, limiting the d'displaystyle d) to X × X (display Xstyle X)X. A discrete metric where d (x, y) - 0 displaystyle d(x,y) if x y displaystyle x'y and d (x, y) - 1 displaystyle d(x,y) otherwise, is a simple but important example, and can be applied to all sets. This, in particular, shows that for any set there is always a metric area associated with it. Using this metric, any point is an open ball, and so each subset is open, and the space has discrete topology. The final metric area is the metric area, having the finical number of points. Not every finical space can be isometrically embedded in the Euclidean space. The hyperbolic plane is a metric space. More generally: If M'displaystyle M) is any associated Riemannian diversity, then we can turn M 'displaystyle M' into a metric space by defining the distance in two points as infimum-length paths (continuously different curves) connecting them. If X displaystyle X is some kind of set and M displaystyle M is a metric space, then a set of all limited f features: X → M (displaystyle f'colon X'rightarrow M) (i.e. those features, the image of which is limited to a subset of M'displaystyle M) can be turned into a metric area of ∈, defining d (f) , g ( x) displaystyle d(f,g)sup x in X'd (f(x),g(x) for any two limited features f display fstyle fstyle and g This metric is called a single metric or supremum metric, and if M displaystyle M is complete, then this function space is also complete. If X is also a topological space, then a set of all limited continuous functions from X (displaystyle X) to M (endowed with a single metric) will also be a complete metric if M is. If G displaystyle G is an undirected connected graph, the V displaystyle V set from vertices G (displaystyle G) can be turned into a metric space by defining d (x, y) display d(x,y) to be the shortest path connecting vertices x displaystyle x and displaystyle x. In geometric group theory this applies to Kayleigh's group graphics, yielding to the word metric. The length of graph editing is a measure of the difference between the two graphs, defined as the minimum number of graph editing operations required to convert one graph into another. Levenshtein distance is a measure of the difference between the two lines u 'displaystyle u) and v 'displaystyle v' defined as the minimum number of character removals, inserts, or substitutions required to convert u 'displaystyle u) to v v In the.. This can be seen as a special case of shortcut metric on the chart and is one example of distance editing.

Using T-theory, the dense range of metric space is also a metric space. The dense range is useful in several types of analysis. The displaystyle m set on n displaystyle n of the matrix above some field is a metric space in relation to the distance of the rank d (X , Y) The Helli Metric is used in game theory.

  • Tive Hull of a T0 -Ultra-Quasi-Metric Space Hans-Peter A. Künzi Hans
    The ultra-quasi-metrically injec- tive hull of a T0-ultra-quasi-metric space Hans-Peter A. K¨unzi [email protected] Olivier Olela Otafudu [email protected] Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa 1 Let X be a set and u : X × X !

Then u is an ultra-quasi-pseudometric on X if (i) u(x; x) = 0 for all x 2 X; and (ii) u(x; z) ≤ maxfu(x; y); u(y; z)g when- ever x; y; z 2 X: Note that the so-called conjugate u−1 of u, where u−1(x; y) = u(y; x) whenever x; y 2 X; is an ultra-quasi-pseudometric, too.

  • On Completeness of Quasi-Pseudometric Spaces
    ON COMPLETENESS OF QUASI-PSEUDOMETRIC SPACES SEITHUTI P. MOSHOKOA Received 4 July 2004 and in revised form 21 April 2005 We discuss completeness in terms of a notion of absolute closure. This will be done in the context of separated quasi-pseudometric spaces and bitopological spaces. The notion is equivalent to the classical notion of completeness when restricted to the class of metric spaces. 1. Introduction and preliminaries The notion of completeness in metric spaces and that of completing a metric space are traditionally discussed in terms of Cauchy sequences. The main reason being that this concept deals precisely with the issue of convergence of sequences in the sense that every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence. The paper deals with completion in a setting that avoids explicit reference to Cauchy sequences. First we recall some definitions which will be used in the paper, see also [3, 5, 9]. Let X be a set and let d : X × X → [0,∞) be a function such that for all x, y,z ∈ X, (i) d(x,x) = 0, (ii) d(x, y) ≤ d(x,z)+d(z, y). Then d is called a quasi-pseudometric.Ifd is a quasi-pseudometric on X, then its con- jugate denoted by d−1 on X is such that d−1(x, y) = d(y,x)forallx, y ∈ X.Certainlyd−1 is a quasi-pseudometric. Let d∗ = d ∨ d−1.Thend∗ is also quasi-pseudometric on X.If a quasi-pseudometric d on X satisfies d(x, y) = d(y,x)forallx, y ∈ X in addition to (i) and (ii), then d is called pseudometric.Apseudometricd that satisfies d(x, y) = 0ifand only if x = y is called a metric.

  • Topological Analysis of Nerves, Reeb Spaces, Mappers, and Multiscale Mappers
    Topological Analysis of Nerves, Reeb Spaces, Mappers, and Multiscale Mappers Tamal K. Dey∗, Facundo M´emoliy, Yusu Wang∗ Abstract Data analysis often concerns not only the space where data come from, but also various types of maps attached to data. In recent years, several related structures have been used to study maps on data, including Reeb spaces, mappers and multiscale mappers. The construction of these structures also relies on the so-called nerve of a cover of the domain. In this paper, we aim to analyze the topological information encoded in these structures in order to provide better understanding of these structures and facilitate their practical usage. More specifically, we show that the one-dimensional homology of the nerve complex N( ) of a path-connected cover of a domain X cannot be richer than that of the U U domain X itself. Intuitively, this result means that no new H1-homology class can be \created" under a natural map from X to the nerve complex N( ). Equipping X with U a pseudometric d, we further refine this result and characterize the classes of H1(X) that may survive in the nerve complex using the notion of size of the covering elements in . These fundamental results about nerve complexes then lead to an analysis of the U H1-homology of Reeb spaces, mappers and multiscale mappers. The analysis of H1-homology groups unfortunately does not extend to higher dimen- sions. Nevertheless, by using a map-induced metric, establishing a Gromov-Hausdorff convergence result between mappers and the domain, and interleaving relevant mod- ules, we can still analyze the persistent homology groups of (multiscale) mappers to establish a connection to Reeb spaces.

  • Partial Metric Spaces M.Bukatin,R.Kopperman,S.Matthews,H.P Ajoohesh 1: Adjustment of the Metric Axioms This Talk Is Based on the Reference [B&]
    Partial Metric Spaces M:Bukatin;R:Kopperman;S:Matthews;H:P ajoohesh 1: Adjustment of the metric axioms This talk is based on the reference [B&]. We are used to the following definition: 1 Definition. A metric space is a pair (X; d), where d : X X IR and: M0: 0 d(x; y) (nonnegativity), × ! M1: if ≤x = y then d(x; y) = 0 (= indistancy), M2: if d(x; y) = 0 then x = y (indistancy) =), M3: d(x; y) = d(y; x) (symmetry), and ) M4: d(x; z) d(x; y) + d(y; z) (triangularity). A pseudometric space≤ is such a pair (X; d) satisfying M0, M1, M3 and M4. For a metric space, x = y if and only if d(x; y) = 0. Later we retain M2 but drop M1, leading to the study of self-distances d(x; x) which may not be zero. This is motivated by the experience of computer science, as discussed below. We begin with an example of a metric space, and why nonzero self-distance is worth considering. Let X = S! = x : !

  • Sigma-Algebra from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Chapter 1
    Sigma-algebra From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chapter 1 Algebra of sets The algebra of sets defines the properties and laws of sets, the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evalu- ating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations. Any set of sets closed under the set-theoretic operations forms a Boolean algebra with the join operator being union, the meet operator being intersection, and the complement operator being set complement. 1.1 Fundamentals The algebra of sets is the set-theoretic analogue of the algebra of numbers. Just as arithmetic addition and multiplication are associative and commutative, so are set union and intersection; just as the arithmetic relation “less than or equal” is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, so is the set relation of “subset”. It is the algebra of the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection and complementation, and the relations of equality and inclusion. For a basic introduction to sets see the article on sets, for a fuller account see naive set theory, and for a full rigorous axiomatic treatment see axiomatic set theory. 1.2 The fundamental laws of set algebra The binary operations of set union ( [ ) and intersection ( \ ) satisfy many identities. Several of these identities or “laws” have well established names. Commutative laws: • A [ B = B [ A • A \ B = B \ A Associative laws: • (A [ B) [ C = A [ (B [ C) • (A \ B) \ C = A \ (B \ C) Distributive laws: • A [ (B \ C) = (A [ B) \ (A [ C) • A \ (B [ C) = (A \ B) [ (A \ C) The analogy between unions and intersections of sets, and addition and multiplication of numbers, is quite striking.

To investi- gate the asymptotic behavior of (X; d) at infinity, one can consider a sequence of rescaling metric spaces (X; 1 d) generated by given rn sequence (rn)n2N of positive reals with rn ! 1. Metric spaces 1 that are limit points of the sequence (X; d)n2 will be called rn N pretangent spaces to (X; d) at infinity. We found the necessary and sufficient conditions under which two given unbounded sub- spaces of (X; d) have the same pretangent spaces at infinity. In the case when (X; d) is the real line with Euclidean metric, we also describe all unbounded subspaces of (X; d) isometric to their pretangent spaces. Contents 1. Introduction2 2.

  • Completing a Metric Space
    COMPLETING A METRIC SPACE A completion of a metric space X is an isometry from X to a complete metric space, ι : X −! X;e Xe a complete metric space and ι an isometry; that satisfies a mapping property encoded in the diagram XeO M M M F ι M M M f M X /& Z Here f : X −! Z is any subisometry from X to an auxiliary complete metric space, jf(x)jZ ≤ jxjX for all x 2 X;Z complete; and the induced map F is unique, and F is understood to be a subisometry as well. 1. Density Granting a completion ι : X −! Xe, we show that X is dense in Xe. Literally the statement is that ι(X) is dense in Xe, i.e., any point in Xe is the limit of a Cauchy sequence f ι(xi) g in Xe. Indeed, let Y ⊂ Xe be the subspace of such limits, which clearly includes ι(X). To show that Y is complete, we must show that any Cauchy sequence f yi g in Y converges in Y . Since each yi is the limit of a Cauchy sequence i in ι(X), there exists a sequence f xi g in X such that dY (ι(xi); yi) < 1=2 for each i. To show that f yi g converges in Y , we show that: • Because f yi g is Cauchy in Y , also f ι(xi) g is Cauchy in Xe, where it has a limit y. This limit lies in Y by definition of Y . • Because f ι(xi) g converges to y in Y , so does f yi g.

    Mathematics 595 (CAP/TRA) Fall 2005 2 Metric and topological spaces 2.1 Metric spaces The notion of a metric abstracts the intuitive concept of \distance". It allows for the development of many of the standard tools of analysis: continuity, convergence, compactness, etc. Spaces equipped with both a linear (algebraic) structure and a metric (analytic) structure will be considered in the next section. They provide suitable environments for the development of a rich theory of differential calculus akin to the Euclidean theory. Definition 2.1.1. A metric on a space X is a function d : X X [0; ) which is symmetric, vanishes at (x; y) if and only if x = y, and satisfies×the triangle! 1inequality d(x; y) d(x; z) + d(z; y) for all x; y; z X. ≤ 2 The pair (X; d) is called a metric space. Notice that we require metrics to be finite-valued. Some authors consider allow infinite-valued functions, i.e., maps d : X X [0; ]. A space equipped with × ! 1 such a function naturally decomposes into a family of metric spaces (in the sense of Definition 2.1.1), which are the equivalence classes for the equivalence relation x y if and only if d(x; y) < . ∼A pseudo-metric is a function1 d : X X [0; ) which satisfies all of the conditions in Definition 2.1.1 except that ×the condition! 1\d vanishes at (x; y) if and only if x = y" is replaced by \d(x; x) = 0 for all x". In other words, a pseudo-metric is required to vanish along the diagonal (x; y) X X : x = y , but may also vanish for some pairs (x; y) with x = y.
