... the size of the corresponding matrix, and the trace of the matrix is the number of elements of X. Proof. We work with minimal bases for the topologies rather than with elements of the set. For a minimal basis U1 , · · · , Ur of a topology U on a finite set X, define an r × r matrix M = (ai,j ) as fo ...

... Minimal Path Conjecture - If points A and B are on one side of line l , then the minimal path from point A to line l to point B is found by reflecting point B over line l , drawing segment AB ¢ , then drawing segments AC and CB where point C is the point of intersection of segment AB ¢ and line l . ...

3-manifold
In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a space that locally looks like Euclidean 3-dimensional space. Intuitively, a 3-manifold can be thought of as a possible shape of the universe. Just like a sphere looks like a plane to a small enough observer, all 3-manifolds look like our universe does to a small enough observer. This is made more precise in the definition below.
