The simplest example is in metric spaces, where open sets can be defined as those sets which contain a ball around each of their points or, equivalently, a set is open if it doesnt contain any of its boundary points. To write a closed interval, use square brackets and.

Open and closed sets 25 of course the set is not open if it is not a nbd of at least one of its points or that there is at least one point of the set which is not an interior point. Using interval notation, you always have to have two values, even though one of them, infinity, isnt really an endpoint, because infinity is a value that is increasing without bound. Since twins can be given identical intervals, it suffices to consider twinfree posets when recognizing classes of sorders.
