About: Mean operation

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In algebraic topology, a mean or mean operation on a topological space X is a continuous, commutative, idempotent binary operation on X. If the operation is also associative, it defines a semilattice. A classic problem is to determine which spaces admit a mean. For example, Euclidean spaces admit a mean -- the usual average of two vectors -- but spheres of positive dimension do not, including the circle.

dbo:abstract
  • In algebraic topology, a mean or mean operation on a topological space X is a continuous, commutative, idempotent binary operation on X. If the operation is also associative, it defines a semilattice. A classic problem is to determine which spaces admit a mean. For example, Euclidean spaces admit a mean -- the usual average of two vectors -- but spheres of positive dimension do not, including the circle. (en)
  • 在代数拓扑中，拓扑空间上的平均运算（mean operation）是上的连续、交换、幂等的二元运算。若这个运算还是结合的，则它定义了一个半格。确定什么样的空间上允许有平均运算是一个经典的问题。例如，欧氏空间上可以定义平均运算，就是通常的向量平均值。但n维球面（n为正整数）上不行，包括圆。 (zh)
