Isolated point

Builds on Topological spaceOpen set

Definition

Let XX be a topological space, let S⊆XS \subseteq X and let x∈Sx \in S. The point xx is an isolated point of SS when there is an open set UU of XX with U∩S={x}U \cap S = \{x\}.

Remarks

Each point of SS is either an isolated point of SS or a limit point of SS, and not both. In ℝ\mathbb{R}, each point of ℤ\mathbb{Z} is an isolated point of ℤ\mathbb{Z}: take U=(n−1/2,n+1/2)U = (n - 1/2, n + 1/2). A point xx is an isolated point of XX itself if and only if {x}\{x\} is open.

Each page uses the pages above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows how strong the evidence is, and the box also gives it as text. The list has the same pages.
