Definition:Real Interval/Half-Open
Contents
Definition
Let $a, b \in \R$.
There are two half-open (real) intervals from $a$ to $b$.
Right half-open
The right half-open (real) interval from $a$ to $b$ is the subset:
- $\hointr a b := \set {x \in \R: a \le x < b}$
Left half-open
The left half-open (real) interval from $a$ to $b$ is the subset:
- $\hointl a b := \set {x \in \R: a < x \le b}$
Also known as
This can often be seen rendered as half open interval.
Examples
Example $1$
Let $I$ be the unbounded closed real interval defined as:
- $I := \hointr 1 2$
Then $1 \in I$.

If you have access to any of these works, then you are invited to = edit review this list, and make any necessary corrections.
When you have done this, move the citation of that source work (if it is appropriate that it stay on this page) above this message, into the usual chronological ordering.
When this has been done for all of the sources below, {{SourceReview}} should be removed from the code.
