Interlocking interval topology

In mathematics, and especially general topology, the interlocking interval topology is an example of a topology on the set S := R+ \ Z+, i.e. the set of all positive real numbers that are not positive whole numbers.[1]

Construction

edit

The open sets in this topology are taken to be the whole set S, the empty set ∅, and the sets generated by

 

The sets generated by Xn will be formed by all possible unions of finite intersections of the Xn.[2]
