Ultraconnected spaceIn mathematics, a topological space is said to be ultraconnected if no two nonempty closed sets are disjoint. Equivalently, a space is ultraconnected if and only if the closures of two distinct points always have non trivial intersection. Hence, no T1 space with more than one point is ultraconnected. Every ultraconnected space is path-connected (but not necessarily arc connected). If and are two points of and is a point in the intersection , the function defined by if , and if , is a continuous path between and .
Particular point topologyIn mathematics, the particular point topology (or included point topology) is a topology where a set is open if it contains a particular point of the topological space. Formally, let X be any non-empty set and p ∈ X. The collection of subsets of X is the particular point topology on X. There are a variety of cases that are individually named: If X has two points, the particular point topology on X is the Sierpiński space. If X is finite (with at least 3 points), the topology on X is called the finite particular point topology.
Degeneracy (mathematics)In mathematics, a degenerate case is a limiting case of a class of objects which appears to be qualitatively different from (and usually simpler than) the rest of the class, and the term degeneracy is the condition of being a degenerate case. The definitions of many classes of composite or structured objects often implicitly include inequalities. For example, the angles and the side lengths of a triangle are supposed to be positive. The limiting cases, where one or several of these inequalities become equalities, are degeneracies.
Topologist's sine curveIn the branch of mathematics known as topology, the topologist's sine curve or Warsaw sine curve is a topological space with several interesting properties that make it an important textbook example. It can be defined as the graph of the function sin(1/x) on the half-open interval (0, 1], together with the origin, under the topology induced from the Euclidean plane: The topologist's sine curve T is connected but neither locally connected nor path connected.
