These maps lack scale, and distance and direction are subject to change and variation, but the relationship between points is maintained. A good example is the tube map of the London Underground . The name topologicalmap is derived from topology , the branch of mathematics that studies the properties of objects that do not change as the object is deformed, much as the tube map retains useful information despite bearing little resemblance to the actual layout of the underground system.

In mathematics , topological dynamics is a branch of the theory of dynamical systems in which qualitative, asymptotic properties of dynamical systems are studied from the viewpoint of general topology . Scope The central object of study in topological dynamics is a topological dynamical system , i.e. a topological space , together with a continuous map topology continuous transformation , a continuous flow, or more generally, a transformation semigroup semigroup of continuous transformations of that space. The origins of topological dynamics lie in the study of asymptotical properties of trajectories of systems of autonomous ordinary differential equation s, in particular, the behavior of limit sets and various manifestations of repetitiveness of the motion, such as periodic trajectories, recurrence and minimality, stability, non wandering point s.

In topology and related areas of mathematics a topological property or topological invariant is a property of a topological space which is invariant mathematics invariant under homeomorphism s. That is, a property of spaces is a topological property if whenever a space X possesses that property every space homeomorphic to X possesses that property. Informally, a topological property is a property of the space that can be expressed using open sets. A common problem in topology is to decide whether two topological spaces are homeomorphic or not. To prove that two spaces are not homeomorphic, it is sufficient to find a topological property which is not shared by them. Common topological properties Cardinal function s The cardinality X of the space X. The cardinality &tau X of the topology of the space X.
