Hypertopology
From HandWiki
In the mathematical branch of topology, a hyperspace (or a space equipped with a hypertopology) is a topological space, which consists of the set CL(X) of all closed subsets of another topological space X, equipped with a topology so that the canonical map [math]\displaystyle{ i : x \mapsto \overline{\{x\}}, }[/math]
is a homeomorphism onto its image. As a consequence, a copy of the original space X lives inside its hyperspace CL(X).[1] [2]
Early examples of hypertopology include the Hausdorff metric[3] and Vietoris topology.[4]
