A Topological Space is pathwise-connected Iff for every two points
, there is a Continuous
Function
from [0,1] to
such that
and
. Roughly speaking, a Space
is pathwise-connected if,
for every two points in
, there is a path connecting them. For Locally Pathwise-Connected Spaces (which include most ``interesting spaces'' such as Manifolds and
CW-Complexes), being Connected and being pathwise-connected are equivalent,
although there are connected spaces which are not pathwise connected. Pathwise-connected spaces are also called 0-connected.
