The theory of descriptive nearness is usually adopted when dealing with sets that share some common properties even when the sets are not spatially close, i.e., the sets have no members in common. Set description results from the use of probe functions to define feature vectors that describe a set and the nearness of sets is given by their proximities. A probe on a non-empty set., φn(x)). We establish a connection between relations on an object space X and relations on the feature space Φ(X). Having as starting point the Peters proximity, two sets are descriptively near, if and only if their descriptions intersect. In this paper, we construct a theoretical approach to a more visual form of proximity, namely, descriptive proximity, which has a broad spectrum of applications. We organize descriptive proximities on two different levels: weaker or stronger than the Peters proximity. We analyze the properties and interplay between descriptions on one side and classical proximities and overlap relations on the other side.
Abstract. This article introduces strongly proximal continuous (s.p.c.) functions, strong proximal equivalence (s.p.e.) and strong connectedness. A main result is that if topological spaces X, Y are endowed with compatible strong proximities and f ∶ X → Y is a bijective s.p.e., then its extension on the hyperspaces CL(X) and CL(Y ), endowed with the related strongly hit and miss hypertopologies, is a homeomorphism. For a topological space endowed with a strongly near proximity, strongly proximal connectedness implies connectedness but not conversely. Conditions required for strongly proximal connectedness are given. Applications of s.p.c. and strongly proximal connectedness are given in terms of strongly proximal descriptive proximity.
This article introduces strongly near smooth manifolds. The main results are (i) second countability of the strongly hit and far-miss topology on a family B of subsets on the Lodato proximity space of regular open sets to which singletons are added, (ii) manifold strong proximity, (iii) strong proximity of charts in manifold atlases implies that the charts have nonempty intersection. The application of these results is given in terms of the nearness of atlases and charts of proximal manifolds and what are known as Voronoï manifolds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
