  2. Base (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(topology)

    The set Γ of all open intervals in forms a basis for the Euclidean topology on .. A non-empty family of subsets of a set X that is closed under finite intersections of two or more sets, which is called a π-system on X, is necessarily a base for a topology on X if and only if it covers X.

  3. Topological space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_space

    In mathematics, a topological space is, roughly speaking, a geometrical space in which closeness is defined but cannot necessarily be measured by a numeric distance.More specifically, a topological space is a set whose elements are called points, along with an additional structure called a topology, which can be defined as a set of neighbourhoods for each point that satisfy some axioms ...

  4. General topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_topology

    The standard topology on R is generated by the open intervals. The set of all open intervals forms a base or basis for the topology, meaning that every open set is a union of some collection of sets from the base. In particular, this means that a set is open if there exists an open interval of non zero radius about every point in the set.

  5. Subbase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbase

    The second subbase generates the usual topology as well, since the open intervals (,) with , rational, are a basis for the usual Euclidean topology. The subbase consisting of all semi-infinite open intervals of the form ( − ∞ , a ) {\displaystyle (-\infty ,a)} alone, where a {\displaystyle a} is a real number, does not generate the usual ...

    Absolutely closed See H-closed Accessible See . Accumulation point See limit point. Alexandrov topology The topology of a space X is an Alexandrov topology (or is finitely generated) if arbitrary intersections of open sets in X are open, or equivalently, if arbitrary unions of closed sets are closed, or, again equivalently, if the open sets are the upper sets of a poset.

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_topology

    In any metric space, the open balls form a base for a topology on that space. [1] The Euclidean topology on R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is the topology generated by these balls.
