T4 space


Definition 1.

[1] Suppose X is a topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath. Further, suppose that for any two disjoint closed setsPlanetmathPlanetmath A,BX, there are two disjoint open sets U and V such that AU and BV. Then we say that X is a T4 space.

Notes

It should be pointed out that there is no standard convention for separation axiomsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath in topology. The above definition follows [1]. However, in some references (e.g. [2]) the meaning of T4 and normal are exchanged.
