Alexandroff space
Topological space is called Alexandroff if the intersection
of every family of open sets is open.
Of course every finite topological space is Alexandroff, but there are also bigger Alexandroff spaces. For example let denote the set of real numbers and let . Then is a topology on and is an Alexandroff space.
If is an Alexandroff space and , then we may talk about smallest open neighbourhood of . Indeed, let
Then is open.
