	Clopen set - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In topology, a clopen set (or closed-open set) in a topological space is a set which is both open and closed.
		As a less trivial example, consider the space Q of all rational numbers with their ordinary topology, and the set A of all positive rational numbers whose square is bigger than 2.
		Any clopen set is a union of (possibly infinitely many) connected components.

	PlanetMath: clopen subset
		finite unions and intersections of clopen sets are clopen.
		The first follows by the definition of a topology, the second by noting that complements of open sets are closed, and vice versa, and the third by noting that this property holds for both open and closed sets.
		This is version 11 of clopen subset, born on 2003-02-06, modified 2006-10-16.

	Open set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For instance, the set of rational numbers between 0 and 1 (exclusive) is open in the rational numbers, but it is not open in the real numbers.
		First, there are sets which are both open and closed (called clopen sets); in R and other connected spaces, only the empty set and the whole space are clopen, while the set of all rational numbers smaller than √2 is clopen in the rationals.
		An open set on the real line has the characteristic property that it is a countable union of disjoint open intervals.

	Boundary (topology) - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
		The boundary of a set is the boundary of the complement of the set:
		The closure of a set equals the union of the set with its boundary.
		The boundary of a set is empty if and only if the set is both closed and open (that is, a clopen set).

	Cantor set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cantor set is the prototype of a fractal.
		A closed set in which every point is an accumulation point is also called a perfect set in topology, while a closed subset of the interval with no interior points is nowhere dense in the interval.
		The Cantor set is the set of all points on the Koch curve that intersect the original horizontal line segment.

	Open set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Note also that "open" is not the opposite of "closed" (a closed set is the complement of an open set).
		One starts with an arbitrary set X and a family of subsets of X satisfying certain properties that every "reasonable" notion of openness is supposed to have.
		(Specifically: the union of open sets is open, the finite intersection of open sets is open, and in particular the empty set and X itself are open.) Such a family T of subsets is called a topology on X, and the members of the family are called the open sets of the topological space (X,T).

		If the family of all open-closed sets of a topological space is a basis of its topology, then this space is called inductively zero-dimensional.
		An open-closed set is also called a closed-open set or clopen set.
		The correspondence between Boolean algebras and inductively zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff spaces is known as Stone duality or Stone topological duality.

		It’s the sign of the empty set of which "there can be only one"- -(Highlander dude talking about the empty set).
		All its boundary points (of which there are none) are in the empty set, and the set is therefore closed; while for every one of its points (of which there are again none), there is an open neighborhood in the empty set, and the set is therefore open."

	Topological Go
		Defn 6: A go-connected set of stones G has liberty if there exists a legal placement e, such that {e} union G is go-connected.
		The empty set not being in S is essential unless we are going to put 'non-empty' conditions all over the place.
		For example, if the empty set is in S with the other definitions as they are now, its impossible to take anything since we can take e the empty set in Defn 6.

	13operator
		The open sets in Pit may be thought of as hypotheses about finite functions that could be verified by "seeing" some finite amount of the function.
		If we think of open sets as "neighborhoods", then a limit point of a set is a point that is so close that every neighborhood around it catches some of the set.
		To see that the preimage of an arbitrary open set is open, form the open preimage of each basis element included in the set and take the union of these, which is open by axiom 4.

	Ideal (order theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although this term historically was derived from the notion of a ring ideal of abstract algebra, it has subsequently been generalized to a different notion.
		It is defined to be a proper ideal I with the additional property that, whenever the meet (infimum) of some arbitrary set A is in I, some element of A is also in I.
		In Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras, the maximal ideals (or, equivalently via the negation map, ultrafilters) are used to obtain the set of points of a topological space, whose clopen sets are isomorphic to the original Boolean algebra.

		X cannot be divided into two disjoint nonempty closed sets (This follows since the complement of an open set is closed).

	Atlas: An Embedding Theorem for a Class of $Z^2$ MSFTs by Samuel J. Lightwood
		A clopen set is used to construct primary marker sets for each point x in X. Roughly, for a given point x, a lattice site is within distance m of a marker unless there is periodicity of order less than m throughout an MxM square around the site.
		A code for the aperidic regions is constructed using three ingredients: 1) Entropy, 2) A tiling construction using Voronoi tiles on a region called the land, and 3) A finite tiling by finite tree prototiles of the boundaries of the Voronoi tiles as they sit in the tiling of the land.
		The choice of n affects the choice of the flat neighborhoods, which in turn affects the choice of the clopen set for the primary markers.

		If X is a topological space containing two disjoint dense > subsets S and T, then every G-delta set in X is the set of continuity > points of some function f:X --> R. By the way, assuming the axiom of choice, every metric space without isolated points satisfies the hypothesis of the theorem.
		If there is a nowhere-continuous function g:X --> R, then every G-delta set in X is the set of continuity points of some function f:X --> R. The function h(x) = 3/2 + (arctan g(x))/pi is nowhere continuous, and takes values in the open interval (1,2).
		Let X be the set of natural numbers, topologized so that the collection of all nonempty open sets is a free ultrafilter.

	A question on intervals Text - Physics Forums Library
		For instance, the interval (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}) is clopen in the rational numbers; it's closed because it contains all of its limit points in the rational numbers, and it's open because it has no boundary points in the rational numbers.
		set theory is a theory about an undefined concept but one can say something like, here are four "widgets" and here are seven ways to build new "widgets" from old ones, but i won't tell you what a "widget" is. that's set theory, at least.
		Any function mapping a single element set to R is necessarily injective, so it is either a redundant statement or it has some more meaning you aren't explaining.

		A collection of sets F is said to be a delta system with root I if for every distinct A, B in F we have A cap B = I. Note that I is allowed to be empty.
		Let X be a topological space and let A be the set of clopen subsets of X. Then A is closed under union, intersection and complement and so forms a Boolean subalgebra of P(X).
		We call this the clopen algebra of X. In general this may not tell us an awful lot about X, but in the case where X is zero-dimensional (there is a basis of clopen sets) it will.

		I just pinned down whether the set of all real numbers from -infinity to +infinity is a closed set or an open set.
		Mathworld tells me that a closed set is one that contains its limit points (which are not necessarily its endpoints).
		An open set is one such that a tiny ball around any point is still entirely within the set, and the set of all numbers from -infinity to +infinity also satisfies that definition.

		Abstract: Bounded model checking methodologies check the correctness of a system with respect to a given speci cation by examining computations of a bounded length.
		Results from set-theoretic topology imply that sets in that are both open and closed (clopen sets) are precisely bounded sets: membership of a word in a clopen set can be determined by examining a bounded pre x of it.
		Clopen sets correspond to speci cations that are both safety and co-safety.
