Particular point topology

In mathematics, the particular point topology (or included point topology) is a topology where sets are considered open if they are empty or contain a particular, arbitrarily chosen, point of the topological space. Formally, let X be any set and p ∈ X. The collection In mathematics, the particular point topology (or included point topology) is a topology where sets are considered open if they are empty or contain a particular, arbitrarily chosen, point of the topological space. Formally, let X be any set and p ∈ X. The collection of subsets of X is then the particular point topology on X. There are a variety of cases which are individually named: A generalization of the particular point topology is the closed extension topology. In the case when X {p} has the discrete topology, the closed extension topology is the same as the particular point topology.
