Definition

A point in a topological space is said to be an isolated point if the singleton set comprising that point, is an open subset.

Often, we talk of isolated points in a subset of a topological space. An isolated point in a subset is simply an isolated point in the above sense, with respect to the subset endowed with the subspace topology.
