Idea

A continuous function between topological spaces which respects a given cell complex-structure on these spaces is called a cellular map.

Definition

Let XX and YY be CW-complexes and let X nX_n (respectively Y nY_n ) denote the nn-skeleton of XX (respectively YY). Then a continuous function f:XYf:X \rightarrow Y is said to be cellular if it takes nn-skeletons to nn-skeletons for all n=0,1,2,...,n = 0,1,2,..., i.e, if

f(X n)Y n f(X_n ) \subseteq Y_n

for all natural numbers nn.
