Intervals
Definition: An interval is a set of real numbers lying between two numbers called the extremities of the interval.
For example, the set of numbers x satisfying 0 ā¤ x ā¤ 1 is an interval which contains 0, 1 and all numbers in between.
Notation for Intervals:
The interval of numbers between a and b, including a and b, is often denoted [a,āb]. The
two numbers are called the endpoints of the interval.
Including or excluding endpoints:
š¶ššš ā¶ (š, š) = {š ā š¹ | š < š„ < š},
š³ššš šŖššššš , ššššš šššš: [š, š) = {š ā š¹ | š ā¤ š < š},
š³ššš šššš, ššššš šššššš : (š, š] = {š ā š¹ | š < š„ ā¤ š},
šŖššššš : [š, š] = {š ā š¹ | š ā¤ š ā¤ š}.

C3T(SEM II), Unit-I, Intervals
Each interval (a,āa), [a,āa), and (a,āa] represents the empty set, whereas [a,āa] denotes the set {a}.
Infinite endpoints
In some contexts, an interval may be defined as a subset of the extended real numbers, the set of all real numbers augmented with āā and +ā.
In this interpretation, the notations [āā,āb]ā, (āā,āb]ā, [a,ā+ā]ā, and [a,ā+ā) are all meaningful and distinct. In particular, (āā,ā+ā) denotes the set of all ordinary real numbers, while [āā,ā+ā] denotes the extended reals. (0,ā+ā) is the set of positive real numbers also written ā+.

Neighbourhood
Definition:Let c ā š . A subset š ā š is said to be a neighbourhood of c if
there exists an open interval (a,b) such that š ā (š, š) ā š.
Results:
1. The union of two neighbourhoods of c is a neighbourhood of c.
2. The intersection of two neighbourhoods of c is a neighbourhood of
c.
3. The intersection of a finite number of neighbourhoods of c is a
neighbourhood of c.
4. The intersection of an infinite number of neighbourhoods of c is
may not be a neighbourhood of c.
For Example, for every n ā šµ, (-1/n, 1/n) is a neighbourhood of 0.
ā (āš
š,
š
š)ā
š=š = {0} is not a neighbourhood of 0.

C3T(SEM II), Unit-I, Neighbourhood, Interior Points, Open Sets
Interior Point: If S is a subset of a R, then x in S is an interior point of S if there exists a
neighbourhood N(x) of x such that š(š„) ā š.
Interior: The interior of a set S is the set of all interior points of S. The interior of S is denoted int(S), Int(S) or So. The interior of a set has the following properties.
int(S) is an open subset of S.
int(S) is the union of all open sets contained in S.
int(S) is the largest open set contained in S.
A set S is open if and only if S = int(S).
int(int(S)) = int(S) (idempotence).
If S is a subset of T, then int(S) is a subset of int(T).
If A is an open set, then A is a subset of S if and only if A is a subset of int(S).
Examples:
In any space, the interior of the empty set is the empty set.
If X is the Euclidean space of real numbers, then int([0, 1]) = (0, 1).
The interior of the set of rational numbers is empty.
In any Euclidean space, the interior of any finite set is the empty set.

Open Set
Definition: A subset S of R is open in R if for each x ā S there is a neighborhood N(x) of
x such that N(X) ā S. In otherwords a subset S of R is open in R if each point of S is an
interior point of S.
Example:
1. R is open.
2. (0, 1) is open.
3. (a, b) is open.
4. ā is open.
Results:
1. The union of a finite collection of open subsets in R is open.
2. The union of an arbitrary collection of open subsets in R is open.
3. The intersection of any finite collection of open sets in R is open.
4. The intersection of an arbitrary collection of open sets in R may not be open.
Example: š. ā (ā š
š, š
š)ā
š=š = {š}. This is not open set.
2. ā (āš, š)āš=š = (š, š). This is an open set.

Limit Point: If S is a subset of R. A point x in R is a limit point (or cluster
point or accumulation point) of S if every neighbourhood of x contains at least one
point of S different from itself.
Isolated Point : If S is a subset of R. A point x in S is an isolated point of S if it is not a
limit point of S.
Examples:
1. Let šŗ = {1,š
š,
š
š, ā¦ ā¦ . . }. Every point of S is an isolated point of S. 0 is a limit
point of S.
2. Let S= Z. Then every point of Z is an isolated point of Z.
3. Let S= N. Then every point of N is an isolated point of N.
4. Let S= Q. Then every point of Q is an isolated point of Q.
5. Let S= R. Then every point of R is a limit point of R.
Bolzano Weierstrass Theorem: Every bounded infinite set of real numbers has at
least one limit point in R.
Proof: Refer to textbook.
The BolzanoāWeierstrass theorem, named after Bernard Bolzano and Karl Weierstrass.
Derived Set: Let S be a subset of R. The set of all limit points of S is said to be the
derived set of S and is denoted by Sā.
Examples:
1. Let S be a finite Set. Then Sā=Š¤.
2. Let S=N. Then Sā=Š¤.
3. Let S=Z. Then Sā=Š¤.
4. Let S=Q. Then Sā=Š¤.
5. Let S=R. Then Sā=R.
6. Let S=Š¤. Then Sā=Š¤.

Closed Set: A closed set is a set whose complement is an open set. In otherwords a set
is closed if it contains all its limit points.
Examples:
1. R is closed.
2. [0, 1] is closed.
3. [a, b] is closed.
4. ā is closed.
5. Z is a closed set.
6. N is a closed set.
7. Q is not a closed set.
Results:
1. The union of a finite collection of closed subsets in R is closed.
2. The intersection of any finite collection of closed sets in R is closed.
3. The intersection of an arbitrary collection of closed sets in R is closed.
4. The union of an arbitrary collection of closed subsets in R may not be closed.
Example:
š. ā [ā š
š, š
š]ā
š=š = [āš, š]. This is a closed set.
2. ā [š
š, š ā
š
š]ā
š=š = (š, š). This is not a closed set.

Open Cover: Let S be a subset of R. An open cover of S is a collection G= {GĪ±} of open sets
in R whose union contains S; i.e.,š ā āŖ šŗš¼.
If Gā is a subcollection of sets from G such that the unions of the sets in Gā contains S,
then Gā is called a subcover of G.
If Gā² consists of finitely many sets, then we call Gā² a finite subcover of G.
Examples:
Suppose S = (0, 1] some coverings of S are:
1. G0 = {(ā1, 2)}
2. G1 = {(1/n, 2) : n ā N}
3. G2 = {(n ā 1, 2) : n ā N}
4. G3 = {(1/n, n) : n ā N}
5. G4 = {(ā1/n, 1 + 1/n) : n ā N}.
Heine-Borel Theorem: Let S be a closed and bounded subset of R. Then every open
cover of S has a finite sub cover.
Compact Set: Let S be a subset of R. S is said to be compact set if every open cover G of
S has a finite subcover.
Examples:
1. [0,1] is compact.
2. (0,1) is not compact.
3. Q is not compact.
Note: Heine-Borel Theorem states that a closed and bounded subset of R is compact.
Converse of Heine-Borel Theorem: A compact subset of R is closed and bounded in
R.
