Definition
The unbounded interval without endpoints is equal to the set of real numbers:


 * $\openint \gets \to = \R$

Also denoted as
The notation using $\infty$ is usual:

On the $\gets \cdots \to$ notation is preferred.

Also known as
Some sources refer to this as an open infinite (real) interval.
