Plumbing (mathematics)

ID: plumbing-mathematics

In mathematics, particularly in the context of combinatorial optimization and graph theory, "plumbing" refers to a technique used to connect different mathematical objects or structures in a way that allows for the study of their properties as a whole. It is often applied in the context of manifolds and topology, where complex shapes can be constructed from simpler pieces by "plumbing" them together.
