Clopen set by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-28 Updated 2026-10-14
A clopen set is a subset that is both open and closed.
In topology, a set is called **clopen** if it is both **closed** and **open**. To understand this concept, we need to clarify what it means for a set to be open and closed: 1. A set \( U \) in a topological space is **open** if, for every point \( x \) in \( U \), there exists a neighborhood of \( x \) that is entirely contained within \( U \).
