Definition

Symbol-free definition

A topological space is said to be reguilar if it satisfies the following two conditions:

• It is a T1 space viz all points are closed
• Given a point and a closed set not containing it, there are disjoint open sets containing the point and the closed set respectively.

Relation with other properties
