Describe subsets of elements in a Neighborhood Set of . The Neighborhood is assumed to
satisfy:
- 1. There corresponds to each point at least one Neighborhood , and each Neighborhood
contains the point .
- 2. If and are two Neighborhoods of the same point , there must exist a
Neighborhood that is a subset of both.
- 3. If the point lies in , there must exist a Neighborhood that is a Subset of
.
- 4. For two different points and , there are two corresponding Neighborhoods and
with no points in common.
