  Some nowhere dense sets with positive measure and a strictly monotonic continuous function with a dense set of points ...
The remaining set of points (if any remain) is nowhere dense, and if the intervals are chosen suitably then the measure of the remaining points will be between 0 and 1.
Taking k=0 would shrink each interval to a point, so removing a set of measure 0 and leaving a dense set of measure 1, while taking k=2 would remove all the points when the interval around 1/2 is removed leaving the empty set with measure 0.
The relationship between the measure of the two remainging sets is not quite a coincidence, since the the measure of the interval remaining after given number of steps when k=1 is exactly half that after one fewer step when k=1/2.

For example, the set of rational numbers, as a subset of R has the property that the closure of the interior is empty, but it is not nowhere dense; in fact it is dense in R, which is the opposite notion.
Every subset of a nowhere dense set is nowhere dense, and the union of finitely many nowhere dense sets is nowhere dense.
That is, the nowhere dense sets form an ideal of sets, a suitable notion of negligible set.

 Cantor set Summary
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.

 Dense And Nowhere Dense in ZhurnalWiki
Simultaneously, the rationals are "nowhere dense" because however tiny a zone you pick around a rational number, there are infinitely many non-rational numbers (irrationals, numbers not expressible as fractions) in that zone too.
A set E is nowhere dense in a set X iff the interior of its closure is empty (i.e its adherence contains no non-empty open sets).
A set E is said to be dense in a set X if the closure of E is X. For example, the set of rational numbers is dense in the set of real numbers.

 Dense
As an example, the set of rational numbers is a dense subset of the real numbers.
Note that the first notion of "dense" depends on the surrounding space, while the second notion is completely internal to the ordered set.
The rationals in [0,1] for instance are dense as an ordered set and they are dense in the space [0,1] but they are not dense in the real numbers.

Bowditch has shown that if such an attractor exists, the set of all edges that satisfy a certain inequality is such an attractor; furthermore, this set is always connected.
It is also shown that the set of quasifuchsian representations is a connected component of this locus, and in particular that the boundary of the "Bowditch locus" contains the boundary of the quasifuchsian locus.

 Dense set - Wikipedia
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subset A of a topological space X is called dense (in X) if, intuitively, any point in X can be "well-approximated" by points in A.
Equivalently, A is dense in X if the only closed subset of X containing A is X itself.
An alternative definition in case of the metric spaces is the following: A set A in a metric space X is dense if every x in X is a limit of a sequence of elements in A.

Control sets have proved to be an extremely useful concept; in particular, in [2] these authors established an interesting relationship between such sets and chaotic behavior in subsets of an associated dynamical system.
Moreover X 1 S Y 1 is dense in X, since its complement is the boundary of X 1 which is a nowhere dense set.
Notice that, for this control set D, Core (D) is strictly contained in D = int D. In fact, none of the points of the type (\Gamma k; 0) with k a strictly positive integer, belongs to Core (D).

Moreover, since the set of points at which an arbitrary function is not continuous is an F_sigma set, it follows that the non-continuity points of any derivative must be an F_sigma first category set.
The set can even have a measure zero complement (which is stronger than having positive measure *and* being dense), since there exist F_sigma first category sets whose complements have measure zero.
Indeed, the set can be so large from a measure standpoint that its complement could have Hausdorff dimension zero (even Hausdorff h-measure zero for any given admissible Hausdorff measure function h), for the same reason.
