WHAT DOES HOMEOMORPHISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Homeomorphism

In the mathematical field of topology, a homeomorphism or topological isomorphism or bi continuous function is a continuous function between topological spaces that has a continuous inverse function. Homeomorphisms are the isomorphisms in the category of topological spaces—that is, they are the mappings that preserve all the topological properties of a given space. Two spaces with a homeomorphism between them are called homeomorphic, and from a topological viewpoint they are the same. The word homeomorphism comes from the Greek words ὅμοιος = similar and μορφή = shape, form. Roughly speaking, a topological space is a geometric object, and the homeomorphism is a continuous stretching and bending of the object into a new shape. Thus, a square and a circle are homeomorphic to each other, but a sphere and a torus are not. An often-repeated mathematical joke is that topologists can't tell their coffee cup from their donut, since a sufficiently pliable donut could be reshaped to the form of a coffee cup by creating a dimple and progressively enlarging it, while preserving the donut hole in a cup's handle.

Definition of homeomorphism in the English dictionary

The definition of homeomorphism in the dictionary is the property, shown by certain chemical compounds, of having the same crystal form but different chemical composition. Other definition of homeomorphism is a one-to-one correspondence, continuous in both directions, between the points of two geometric figures or between two topological spaces.
