cut-point


Theorem Suppose X is a connected space and x is a point in X. If X{x} is a disconnected set in X, then x is a cut-point of X [1, 2].

0.0.1 Examples

  1. 1.

    Any point of with the usual topology is a cut-point.

  2. 2.

    If X is a normed vector spacePlanetmathPlanetmath with dimX>1, then X has no cut-points [1].
