topologic

Concerning continuous transformations

Topologic means relating to topology—the branch of mathematics studying properties that remain unchanged when shapes are stretched, twisted, or deformed without tearing or gluing.

A coffee mug and a donut are topologically equivalent because each has one hole.

The term appears in technical contexts: topologic properties, topologic equivalence.
