	Open set
		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.
		A subset U of a metric space (M,d) is called open if, given any point x in U, there exists a real number e > 0 such that, given any point y in M with d(x,y) < e, y also belongs to U.
		(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).

	PlanetMath: open set
		Using the properties of these open sets we arrive at the usual definition of a topological space using open sets, which is equivalent to the above definition.
		A non-metric topology would be the finite complement topology on infinite sets, in which a set is called open, if its complement is finite.
		This is version 17 of open set, born on 2002-05-22, modified 2006-08-21.

	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).
		A subset U of a metric space (M,d) is called open if, given any point x in U, there exists a real number ε > 0 such that, given any point y in M with d(x,y) < ε, y also belongs to U.
		An open set on the real line has the characteristic property that it is a countable union of disjoint open intervals.

	Open mapping theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In functional analysis, the open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach-Schauder theorem, is a fundamental result which states: if A : X → Y is a surjective continuous linear operator between Banach spaces X and Y, then A is an open map (i.e.
		In complex analysis, the open mapping theorem states that if U is a connected open subset of the complex plane C and f : U → C is a non-constant holomorphic function, then f is an open map (i.e.
		First assume f is a non-constant holomorphic function and U is a connected open subset of the complex plane.

	Connectedness
		B with A and B open and disjoint, then X - A = B and so B is the complement of an open set and hence is closed.
		R with its usual topology is not connected since the sets [0, 1] and [2, 3] are both open in the subspace topology.
		The spaces [0, 1] and (0, 1) (both with the subspace topology as subsets of R) are not homeomorphic.

	54: General topology
		This definition is arranged to meet the intent of the opening paragraph.
		Since the axioms of topology are stated in terms of subsets of X, it should be no surprise that one branch of topology is closely related to set theory, particularly "descriptive set theory".
		Other categories include measure spaces (spaces with a given real-valued measure on families of subsets), manifolds (spaces with a given collection of coordinate charts), simplicial complexes (a generalization of polyhedra), CW-complexes (spaces with a given decomposition into subsets homeomorphic to balls of various dimensions), ordered topological spaces, topological groups or vector spaces, and so on.

	Topology MAT 530
		All connected subsets of the real line are open intervals (that may be empty and may be infinite) with, possibly, some of the ends attached.
		This gives a description of all open subsets of the real line: these are countable (or finite) disjoint unions of open intervals (or rays).
		The Urysohn lemma states that for a normal topological space X and two disjoint closed subsets A and B of it, there exists a continuous function from X to [0,1] that is 0 on A and 1 on B.

	Topology - Abstract Shape
		Since subsets of a topological space are themselves topological spaces under their relative topology, any definition or discussion involving subsets applies to the whole space.
		From the definition of open and closed subsets, it is obvious that the null set and the whole space X are both open and closed.
		In this case, f~(U) and f~(V) are two disjoint, open subsets of X whose union is all of X- which is impossible since X is connected.

	James Tauber : Poincare Project: Open Sets
		So imagine that a friend has given you a set along with all of the subsets that are open balls.
		A subset of a set X is called an open set if it is the union of open balls of X.
		Now continuity can be defined in terms of open sets (and this definition can be proven to be the same as that using open balls).

		A homeomorphism is a bijective map between to (topological) spaces, such that open subsets of one space are mapped to open subsets of the other.
		A cover of a space is a collection of subsets whose union is the space.
		A space is said to be compact if every open cover has a finite sub-cover, i.e, a finite sub-collection of the original cover which covers the space.

		Let S be closed and bounded subset of R. Then S is a subset of (or can be covered by) finitely many open subsets of R. Then you do not understand the Heine-Borel theorem.
		Now I understand that it is, For any open cover of S there exist a finite number of open subcovers that also completely cover S. I have also understood why S must be closed and bounded in order to satisfy the Heine-Borel property.

		The useful characterization of continuous functions in metric spaces as those functions where the inverse image of every open set is open is used as a definition in the general setting.
		That form of definition is useless in the absence of a properly defined 'distance' function but, fortunately, it is equivalent to the demand that the preimage of each open subset of the target metric space shall be open in the domain.

	Algebraic Topology: Topology
		A topological space is a set X together with a collection of subsets OS the members of which are called open, with the property that (i) the union of an arbitrary collection of open sets is open, and (ii) the intersection of a finite collection of open sets is open.
		A basis for the open sets is a collection of open sets such that each open set is a union of some subcollection.
		A subbasis for the open sets is a collection of open sets such that one obtains a basis by taking finite intersections.

		Topology is the study of sets with open subsets.
		So if we have a set X and a family of sets O (subsets of X), then the set X with open sets O is a topological space.

	Manifolds
		One of the goals in topology is to capture the nature of certain subsets terms of topological properties.
		Thus U is an open subset of M since, for every point of U, there is an open subset, W, of M, which is contained in U.
		If X is a subset with two components, S and T with S homeomorphic to the sphere and T homeomorphic to a torus, then X cannot be homogeneous since a homeomorphism must take a component to a component.

	Lebesgue integration Summary
		Because each open subset of ℜ is a countable union of open intervals, it follows that ℬ contains all the open subsets of ℜ.
		Measure theory initially was created to provide a detailed analysis of the notion of length of subsets of the real line and more generally area and volume of subsets of Euclidean spaces.
		As was shown by later developments in set theory (see non-measurable set), it is actually impossible to assign a length to all subsets of R in a way which preserves some natural additivity and translation invariance properties.

	UTR#17: Character Encoding Model
		Formal subset mechanisms are occasionally seen in implementations of some Asian character sets, where for example, the distinction between "Level 1 JIS" and "Level 2 JIS" support refers to particular parts of the repertoire of the JIS X 0208 kanji characters to be included in the implementation.
		The standard includes a set of internal catalog numbers for named subsets, and further makes a distinction between subsets that are "fixed collections" and open collections that are defined by a range of code positions.
		It is considered up to the implementation to define and support the subset of the universal repertoire that it wishes to interpret.

		A set of points and a collection of subsets (meeting certain restrictions) which are defined to be the open subsets of the space.
		A topological space in which, for every pair of nonidentical points p and q, there exist two open sets P and Q containing them, that do not intersect (that is, whose intersection is empty).
		For a set S to be compact means that every subset of S with infinitely many points has (at least one) limit point in S. (Corollary: every limit point is in S.) A subset of a metric space is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded (from the Heine-Borel theorem).

		Look at this diagram: you the cover is show to the left so that you can see the open circles and the square; to the right, I've made the circles a dark opaque so that you can clearly see the gaps.
		You've actually defined the self-similarity dimension of M in the second to last paragraph, which is equal to the Hausdorff dimension only for iterated function systems (which are similitudes and satisfy the open set condition)*.
		As you've said, the actual definition is a bit hairy, but it can be applied to non self-similar objects, whereas the SSD cannot (partly why the box dimension is so useful, since calculating the Hausdorff dimension of a lightning bolt is probably impossible).
