metrizable

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   topology: having a metric that induces the space's given topology

   Urysohn's theorem gives conditions under which a topological space is metrizable.

Formed from metrize + -able. Metrize is built from metric + -ize and means to equip a topological space with a compatible metric. Metricizable is an older or occasional expanded spelling; metrizable is the standard technical form.
