Although random cell complexes occur throughout the physical sciences, there does not appear to be a standard way to quantify their statistical similarities and differences. The various proposals in the literature are usually motivated by…

We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…

By definition, the intersection of finitely many open sets of any topological space is open. Nachbin observed that, more generally, the intersection of compactly many open sets is open. Moreover, Nachbin applied this to obtain elegant…

We define a class of subsets of a topological space that coincides with the class of compact saturated subsets when the space is sober, and with enough good properties when the space is not sober. This class is introduced especially in view…

A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected first countable space is the image of a nonseparably connected complete metric space…

The concept of $typed$ $topology$ is introduced. In a typed topological space, some open sets are assigned "types", and topological concepts such as closure, connectedness can be defined using types. A finite data set in $R^2$ is a…

The topological information of a network can be retrieved equivalently from its complement consisting of the same nodes but complementary edges. Hence the partition of a network into certain substructures based on given criteria should be…

One major open problem in network coding is to characterize the capacity region of a general multi-source multi-demand network. There are some existing computational tools for bounding the capacity of general networks, but their…

A topological space is called P_2 ( P_3, P_{<omega} ) if and only if it does not contain two (three, finitely many) uncountable open sets with empty intersection. We show that (i) there are 0-dimensional P_{<omega} spaces of size 2^omega,…

Convergence is a fundamental topic in analysis that is most commonly modelled using topology. However, there are many natural convergences that are not given by any topology; e.g., convergence almost everywhere of a sequence of measurable…

We consider a random tree and introduce a metric in the space of trees to define the ``mean tree'' as the tree minimizing the average distance to the random tree. When the resulting metric space is compact we have laws of large numbers and…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of $\mathcal{M}$-convergence and $\mathcal{MN}$-convergence structures in posets, which, in some sense, generalise the well-known Scott-convergence and order-convergence structures. As results, we give…

Let $X$ be a first countable space which admits a non-trivial convergent sequence and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an analytic P-ideal. First, it is shown that the sets of $\mathcal{I}$-limit points of all sequences in $X$ are closed if and only if…

A space is od-compact (resp. od-Lindel\"of) provided any cover by open dense sets has a finite (resp. countable) subcover. We first show with simple examples that these properties behave quite poorly under finite or countable unions. We…

In many networks, including networks of protein-protein interactions, interdisciplinary collaboration networks, and semantic networks, connections are established between nodes with complementary rather than similar properties. While…

We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…

Consider a set represented by an inequality. An interesting phenomenon which occurs in various settings in mathematics is that the interior of this set is the subset where strict inequality holds, the boundary is the subset where equality…

In this paper we consider the concept of `closeness' between nodes in a weighted network that can be defined topologically even in the absence of a metric. The Generalized Erd\H{o}s Numbers (GENs) satisfy a number of desirable properties as…

Consider a Hausdorff space (X,T) and a set C of converging nets in X. By virtue of the limit uniqueness, the relation Lim which assigns each member x of X to every net N lying in C that converges to x is a map. Of course, structuring C with…
