In the subspace topology, is relatively open in if for an open subset of the ambient Euclidean space. Equivalently, every has a radius with . It is relatively closed if its complement is relatively open, equivalently for an ambient closed set .
For the upper half of the open disk, is closed in , but not open in . It is the intersection with the closed half-plane . A relative neighborhood of zero contains points of negative imaginary part, so relative openness fails.
