types of limit points


Let X be a topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath and AX be a subset.

A point xX is an ω-accumulation pointMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of A if every open set in X that contains x also contains infinitely many points of A.

A point xX is a condensation point of A if every open set in X that contains x also contains uncountably many points of A.

If X is in addition a metric space, then a cluster point of a sequence {xn} is a point xX such that every ϵ>0, there are infinitely many point xn such that d(x,xn)<ϵ.

These are all clearly examples of limit pointsMathworldPlanetmath.
