Almost discrete space
Definition
A topological space is termed almost discrete if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- Every open subset is a closed subset
- Every closed subset is an open subset
- It is both an Alexandrov space (i.e., it is finitely generated) and a zero-dimensional space (i.e., it has a basis of clopen subsets).
