CW complex
In
topology
, a
CW complex
is a type of
topological space
introduced by
J. H. C. Whitehead
to meet the needs of
homotopy theory
. This class of spaces is broader and has some better
categorical
properties than
simplicial complexes
, but still retains a combinatorial nature that allows for computation (often with a much smaller complex).
