Types Of Limit Points
Let
be a topological space
and
be a subset.
A point
is an
-accumulation point of
if every open set
in
that contains
also contains infinitely many points of
.
A point
is a condensation point of
if every open set in
that contains
also contains uncountably many points of
.
If
is in addition
a metric space, then a cluster point of a sequence
is a point
such that every
, there are infinitely many point
such that
.
These are all clearly examples of limit points.
