Classification of topologies on finite sets using graphs

With the use of directed graphs, we study topologies on finite sets. On this basis, we propose a new classification of these topologies. Some properties of T ₀-topologies on finite sets are proved. In particular, we prove the existence, in T ₀-topologies, of open sets containing any number of elements that does not exceed the cardinality of the set itself.
