internal point
Definition.
Let be a vector space and . Then is called aninternal point of if and only if the intersection of each line in through and contains a small interval around .
That is is an internal point of if whenever there exists an such that for all .
If is a topological vector space and is in the interior of , then it is an internal point, but the converse
is not true in general. However if is a convex set then all internal points are interior points and vice versa.
