Resolution Spaces: A Topological Approach to Similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that in order to reason with similarity we need to model the concept of discriminating power. We offer a simple topological notion called resolution space that provides a rich mathematical framework for reasoning with limited discriminating power avoiding the vagueness paradox.

Topological number for locally convex topological spaces with continuous semi-norms
In this paper we introduce the concept of topological number for locally convex topological spaces and prove some of its properties. It gives some criterions to study locally convex topological spaces in a discrete approach.
متن کاملA COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR LATTICE-VALUED, PROBABILISTIC AND APPROACH UNIFORM (CONVERGENCE) SPACES
We develop a general framework for various lattice-valued, probabilistic and approach uniform convergence spaces. To this end, we use the concept of $s$-stratified $LM$-filter, where $L$ and $M$ are suitable frames. A stratified $LMN$-uniform convergence tower is then a family of structures indexed by a quantale $N$. For different choices of $L,M$ and $N$ we obtain the lattice-valued, probabili...
متن کامل$L$-Topological Spaces
By substituting the usual notion of open sets in a topological space $X$ with a suitable collection of maps from $X$ to a frame $L$, we introduce the notion of L-topological spaces. Then, we proceed to study the classical notions and properties of usual topological spaces to the newly defined mathematical notion. Our emphasis would be concentrated on the well understood classical connectedness...
متن کاملThe notions of closedness and D-connectedness in quantale-valued approach spaces
In this paper, we characterize local $T_{0}$ and $T_{1}$ quantale-valued gauge spaces, show how these concepts are related to each other and apply them to $mathcal{L}$-approach distance spaces and $mathcal{L}$-approach system spaces. Furthermore, we give the characterization of a closed point and $D$-connectedness in quantale-valued gauge spaces. Finally, we compare all these concepts to each o...
متن کاملCONVERGENCE APPROACH SPACES AND APPROACH SPACES AS LATTICE-VALUED CONVERGENCE SPACES
We show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. Further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. It is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...
