In this paper, we first present a new type of the concept of open sets by expressing some properties of arbitrary mappings on a power set. With the generalization of the closure spaces in categorical topology, we introduce the generalized topological spaces and the concept of generalized continuity and become familiar with weak and strong structures for generalized topological spaces. Then, int...

We investigate the influence of the boundary conditions on the scale invariant critical level statistics at the metal insulator transition of disordered three-dimensional orthogonal and two-dimensional unitary and symplectic tight-binding models. The distribution of the spacings between consecutive eigenvalues is calculated numerically and shown to be different for periodic and Dirichlet bounda...

A numerical algorithm to compute the topological entropy of multimodal maps is proposed. This algorithm results from a closed formula containing the so-called min-max symbols, which are closely related to the kneading symbols. Furthermore, it simplifies a previous algorithm, also based on min-max symbols, which was originally proposed for twice differentiable multimodal maps. The new algorithm ...

A number of problems in network operations and engineering call for new methods of traffic analysis. While most existing traffic analysis methods are fundamentally temporal, there is a clear need for the analysis of traffic across multiple network links — that is, for spatial traffic analysis. In this paper we give examples of problems that can be addressed via spatial traffic analysis. We then...

A review on mathematical elasticity of quasicrystals is given. In this review, the focus is on various defects of quasicrystals. Dislocation and crack are two classes of typical topological defects, while their existence has great influence on the mechanical behavior of quasicrystals. The analytic and numerical solutions of dislocations and crack in quasicrystals are the core of the static and ...

A clustering algorithm partitions a set of data points into smaller sets (clusters) such that each subset is more tightly packed than the whole. Many approaches to clustering translate the vector data into a graph with edges reflecting a distance or similarity metric on the points, then look for highly connected subgraphs. We introduce such an algorithm based on ideas borrowed from the topologi...

A detailed analysis of the statistical distribution of conductance P(g) of quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in the metal–insulator crossover is presented. The distribution P(g) is obtained from a Monte Carlo solution of the Dorokhov, Mello, Pereyra and Kumar (DMPK) scaling equation, showing full agreement with ‘tight-binding’ numerical calculations of bulk disordered wires. Perturbation t...

One method to solve topology optimization problems is the topological derivative. This approach has some drawbacks: it is limited to simple problems, we do not know how to fill holes, ... To overcome these limitations, an extension of the adjoint method is presented. Named the numerical vault, it allows us to consider new fields of applications and to explore new theoretical investigations in t...

We study distributions of persistent homology barcodes associated to taking subsamples of a fixed size from metric measure spaces. We show that such distributions provide robust invariants of metric measure spaces, and illustrate their use in hypothesis testing and providing confidence intervals for topological data analysis.

Vector SO(3) gauged O(4) sigma models on R 3 are presented. The topological charge supplying the lower bound on the energy and rendering the soliton stable coincides with the Baryon number of the Skyrmion. These solitons have vanishing magnetic monopole flux. To exhibit the existence of such solitons, the equations of motion of one of these models is integrated numerically. The structure of the...
