    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reachability

    A vertex can reach a vertex (and is reachable from ) if there exists a sequence of adjacent vertices (i.e. a walk) which starts with and ends with . In an undirected graph, reachability between all pairs of vertices can be determined by identifying the connected components of the graph.

    Define U to be open in X * iff the union of the equivalence classes that belong to U, is open as a subset of X. Then X * is a topological space with this topology - it is called the quotient space of X by the equivalence relation ~ (verify that this is a topological space, if you have not done so already).

  8. The spider and the fly problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spider_and_the_fly_problem

    The spider is 1 foot below the ceiling and horizontally centred on one 12′×12′ wall. The fly is 1 foot above the floor and horizontally centred on the opposite wall. The problem is to find the minimum distance the spider must crawl along the walls, ceiling and/or floor to reach the fly, which remains stationary. [1]

  9. Zenith - Wikipedia
