Definition
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.
$\struct {S, \tau}$ is a completely Hausdorff space or $T_{2 \frac 1 2}$ space if and only if:
- $\forall x, y \in S, x \ne y: \exists U, V \in \tau: x \in U, y \in V: U^- \cap V^- = \O$
That is, for any two distinct elements $x, y \in S$ there exist open sets $U, V \in \tau$ containing $x$ and $y$ respectively whose closures are disjoint.
