Various results on some asymmetric types of density

English (OpenAlex)

The structures of symmetric connectedness and dually, antisymmetric connectedness were described and studied before, especially in terms of graph theory as the corresponding counterparts of the connectedness of a graph and the connectedness of its complementary graph. By taking into consideration the deficiencies of topological density in the context of symmetric and antisymmetric connectedness, two special kinds of density in the theory of non-metric $T_0$-quasi-metrics were introduced in the previous studies under the names symmetric density and antisymmetric density. In this paper, some crucial and useful properties of these two types of density are investigated with the help of the major results and (counter)examples peculiar to the asymmetric environment. Besides these, many further observations about the structures of symmetric and antisymmetric-density are dealt with, especially in the sense of their combinations such as products and unions through various theorems in the context of $T_0$-quasi-metrics. Also, we examine the question of under what kind of quasi-metric mapping these structures will be preserved.
