Topologically star-like space
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
Definition
A non-empty topological space is termed topologically star-like if it is homeomorphic to a star-like subset of Euclidean space (Where the Euclidean space is possibly infinite-dimensional), where the latter is endowed with the subspace topology from Euclidean space.
