Topological Correlation

چکیده
Quantifying the success of the topographic preservation achieved with a neural map is difficult. In this paper we present Topological Correlation, Tc, a method that assesses the degree of topographic preservation achieved based on the linear correlation between the topological distances in the neural map, and the topological distances in the induced Delaunay triangulation of the network nodes. In contrast to previous indices, Tc has been explicitly devised to assess the topographic preservation within neural maps composed of many sub-graph structures. The Tc index is bounded, and unequivocally identifies a perfect mapping, but more importantly, it provides the ability to quantitatively compare less than successful mappings. The Tc index also provides an indication of the maximum number of nodes to use within the neural map.

Correlation functions between topological objects – field theoretic versus geometric definitions
We analyze topological objects in pure gluonic SU(2) lattice gauge theory and compute correlation functions between instantons and monopoles. Concerning the instantons we use geometric and field theoretic definitions of the topological charge. On a 12 × 4 lattice it turns out that topological quantities have a non-trivial local correlation. The auto-correlation functions of the topological char...
متن کاملApplication of Graph Theory: Relationship of Topological Indices with the Partition Coefficient (logP) of the Monocarboxylic Acids
It is well known that the chemical behavior of a compound is dependent upon the structure of itsmolecules. Quantitative structure – activity relationship (QSAR) studies and quantitative structure –property relationship (QSPR) studies are active areas of chemical research that focus on the nature ofthis dependency. Topological indices are the numerical value associated with chemical constitution...

Topological indices are the numerical value associated with chemical constitution purporting for correlation of chemical structure with various physical properties, chemical reactivity or biological activity. Graph theory is a delightful playground for the exploration of proof techniques in Discrete Mathematics and its results have applications in many areas of sciences. One of the useful indic...
متن کاملQSPR study on benzene derivatives to some physico-chemical properties by using topological indices
QSPR study on benzene derivatives have been made using recently introduced topological methodology. In this study the relationship between the Randic' (x'), Balaban (J), Szeged (Sz),Harary (H), Wiener (W), HyperWiener and Wiener Polarity (WP) to the thermal energy (Eth), heat capacity (CV) and entropy (S) of benzene derivatives is represented. Physicochemical properties are taken from the quant...
متن کاملComparison of Topological Indices Based on Iterated ‘Sum’ versus ‘Product’ Operations
The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index is a first-generation topological index (TI) based on sums over all edges between numbers of edges closer to one endpoint and numbers of edges closer to the other endpoint. Edges at equal distances from the two endpoints are ignored. An analogous definition is valid for the Wiener index W, with the difference that sums are replaced by products. A few other TIs are d...
متن کاملThe Structural Relationship Between Topological Indices and Some Thermodynamic Properties
The fact that the properties of a molecule are tightly connected to its structural characteristics is one of the fundamental concepts in chemistry. In this connection, graph theory has been successfully applied in developing some relationships between topological indices and some thermodynamic properties. So , a novel method for computing the new descriptors to construct a quantitative rela...
