Definition

A topological space X is termed a Urysohn space if, for any two distinct points x,yX, there exist disjoint open subsets Ux,Vy such that the closures <math\overline{U}</math> and V¯ are disjoint closed subsets of X.

Note that the term Urysohn space is also used for the somewhat stronger notion of functionally Hausdorff space. There is a terminological ambiguity here.

This article defines a property of topological spaces: a property that can be evaluated to true/false for any topological space|View a complete list of properties of topological spaces

In the T family (properties of topological spaces related to separation axioms), this is called: T2.5
