locally connected (Definition)

A topological space $ X$ is locally connected at a point $ x \in X$ if every neighborhood $ U$ of $ x$ contains a connected neighborhood $ V$ of $ x$. The space $ X$ is locally connected if it is locally connected at every point $ x \in X$.

A topological space $ X$ is locally path connected at a point $ x \in X$ if every neighborhood $ U$ of $ x$ contains a path connected neighborhood $ V$ of $ x$. The space $ X$ is locally path connected if it is locally path connected at every point $ x \in X$.
