Density (mathematics)

See also: Density (homonymy)

In Topologie, the concept of density of a Sous-ensemble has of a topological Espace X makes it possible to reflect the idea that for any point X of X one can find a point of has which is as close to X as possible.

Either X a topological Space and has a Sous-ensemble of X . has is dense in X so for any element X of X , all Voisinage of X contains at least an element of has .

In an equivalent way, has is dense in X if the only subset closed of X container has is X itself. I.e. the adherence of has is X , or that the interior of the complement of has is empty.

In the case of a metric Space, it is possible to use the following definition: the unit has in a metric space X is dense if any element X of X is the limiting of a continuation of elements of has .

Not dense

A point X of X is dense if the unit { X } is dense in X .

Examples

  • Any space topological is dense in itself.

  • the whole of the rational numbers and the irrational numbers is dense in the whole of the real numbers provided with usual topology.
  • a metric space M is dense in its completion γM .
  • a separable Espace is a topological space having a dense subset countable.
