A branch of mathematics studying those properties of a geometric figure or solid that are not changed by stretching, bending and similar homeomorphisms
the configuration of a communication network the branch of pure mathematics that deals only with the properties of a figure X that hold for every figure into which X can be transformed with a one-to-one correspondence that is continuous in both directions topographic study of a given place (especially the history of place as indicated by its topography); "Greenland's topology has been shaped by the glaciers of the ice age
Topology is the structure of the network, including physical connections such as wiring schemes and logical interactions between network devices
topographic study of a given place (especially the history of place as indicated by its topography); "Greenland's topology has been shaped by the glaciers of the ice age"
In mathematics, the study of the properties of a geometric object that remains unchanged by deformations such as bending, stretching, or squeezing but not breaking. A sphere is topologically equivalent to a cube because, without breaking them, each can be deformed into the other as if they were made of modeling clay. A sphere is not equivalent to a doughnut, because the former would have to be broken to put a hole in it. Topological concepts and methods underlie much of modern mathematics, and the topological approach has clarified very basic structural concepts in many of its branches. See also algebraic topology
The physical layout of network components (cable, stations, gateways, hubs and so on) There are three basic interconnection topologies?star, ring and bus networks
The relative location of geographic phenomena independent of their exact position In digital data, topological relationships such as connectivity, adjacency and relative position are usually expressed as relationships between nodes, links and polygons For example, the topology of a line includes its from- and to-nodes, and its left and right polygons Topology is useful in GIS because many spatial modelling operations don not require coordinates, only topological information For example, to find an optimal path between two points requires a list of the lines or arcs that connect to each other and the cost to traverse each line in each direction Coordinates are only needed for drawing the path after it is calculated
Topology is the map, or visual layout of the frame relay network Frame relay network topology must be viewed from several perspectives to fully understand the network and the equipment used to construct the network Topological views include an overview map, a logical connection map, perhaps a functional map, a map showing the detail equipment and channel links, an address map
There are two types of topology: physical and logical The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals Logical topology is the method used to pass the information between workstations Issues involving logical topologies are discussed on the Protocol chapter
the study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body and emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and nerves and arteries etc ) in that region
