Open set

Basic subset of a topological space Example: the blue circle represents the set of points (x, y) satisfying x2 + y2 = r2. The red disk represents the set of points (x, y) satisfying x2 + y2 < r2.

In mathematics, an open set is a generalization of an open interval in the real line. In a metric space (a set with a distance defined between every two points), an open set is a s...
