Definition

Definition with symbols

A topological space $X$ is termed monotonically normal if there exists an operator $G$ from ordered pairs of disjoint closed sets to open sets, such that:

For any disjoint closed subsets $A, B$ , $G (A, B)$ contains $A$ and its closure is disjoint from $B$
If $A \subseteq A^{'}$ and $B^{'} \subseteq B$ with all four sets being closed, $A$ disjoint from $B$ , and $A^{'}$ disjoint from $B^{'}$ , we have:

$G (A, B) \subseteq G (A^{'}, B^{'})$

This is the monotonicity condition. Such an operator $G$ is termed a monotone normality operator.

Metaproperties

Hereditariness

This property of topological spaces is hereditary, or subspace-closed. In other words, any subspace (subset with the subspace topology) of a topological space with this property also has this property.

Any subspace of a monotonically normal space is monotonically normal. For full proof, refer: Monotone normality is hereditary
