Definition

Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.

Let $H \subseteq S$.


Definition 1

$H$ is nowhere dense in $T$ if and only if:

$\paren {H^-}^\circ = \O$

where $H^-$ denotes the closure of $H$ and $H^\circ$ denotes its interior.


Definition 2

$H$ is nowhere dense in $T$ if and only if:

$H^-$ contains no open set of $T$ which is non-empty

where $H^-$ denotes the closure of $H$.
