In topology and related areas of mathematics, a neighbourhood (or neighborhood) is one of the basic concepts in a topological space. Intuitively speaking, a neighbourhood of a point is a set containing the point where one can move that point some amount without leaving the set. This concept is closely related to the concepts of open set and interior. == Definition == If is a topological space and is a point in , a neighbourhood of is a subset of that includes an open set containing , : This is also equivalent to being in the interior of . Note that the neighbourhood need not be an open set itself. If is open it is called an open neighbourhood. Some scholars require that neighbourhoods be open, so it is important to note conventions. A set that is a neighbourhood of each of its points is open since it can be expressed as the union of open sets containing each of its points. The collection of all neighbourhoods of a point is called the neighbourhood system at the point. If is a subset of then a neighbourhood of is a set that includes an open set containing . It follows that a set is a neighbourhood of if and only if it is a neighbourhood of all the points in . Furthermore, it follows that is a neighbourhood of iff is a subset of the interior of . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neighbourhood (mathematics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
