Neighbourhood space

From HandWiki

In topology and related areas of mathematics, a neighbourhood space is a set X such that for each [math]\displaystyle{ x \in X }[/math] there is an associated neighbourhood system [math]\displaystyle{ \mathfrak{R}_x }[/math].[1]

A subset O of a neighbourhood space is called open if for every [math]\displaystyle{ x \in O }[/math] is a neighbourhood of x. Under this definition the open sets of a neighbourhood space give rise to a topological space. Conversely, every topological space is a neighbourhood space under the usual definition of a neighbourhood in a topological space.[1]
