Furtherness in finite topological spaces

In this paper, we introduce a novel distance-like notion of furtherness for finite topological spaces, demonstrating that every finite space can be viewed as an asymmetric pseudometric space. In particular, we show that every finite T0 space is asymmetric metric space. The topology induced by the forward balls coincides with the original topology of the space, while the backward balls induce the opposite topology. To capture essential information about each finite space, we construct a furtherness Matrix, which gives significant structural details of the finite space. As an application, we introduce the notion of center and radius of subsets of finite topological spaces.

Center and radius of a subset of metric space

In this paper, we introduce a notion of the center and radius of a subset A of metric space X. In the Euclidean spaces, this notion can be seen as the extension of the center and radius of open/closed balls. The center and radius of a finite product of subsets of metric spaces, and a finite union of subsets of a metric space are also determined. For any subset A of metric space X, there is a natural question to identify the open balls of X with the largest radius that are entirely contained in A. To answer this question, we introduce a notion of quasi-center and quasi-radius of a subset A of metric space X. We prove that the center of the largest open balls contained in A belongs to the quasi-center of A, and its radius is equal to the quasi-radius of A. In particular, for the Euclidean spaces, we see that the center of largest open balls contained in A belongs to the center of A, and its radius is equal to the radius of A.
