 Closed discrete subset

In a plane domain, a closed discrete subset is exactly a set meeting every compact subset in finitely many points. This local finiteness is necessary for a nonzero holomorphic function to have the subset as its entire zero set. A merely isolated-point subset can have an accumulation point outside the subset but inside the domain, as $\{1/n:n\ge 1\}\subset \mathbb{C}$ does.
