A subset A of S is nowhere dense when the closure A has empty<br />

interior.<br />

Reminder: <strong>The</strong> closure A of A is by definition the intersection of<br />

the closed sets containing A. <strong>The</strong> interior of any subset B ⊆ X is<br />

the union of the open sets contained in B.<br />

Thus a subset A of S is nowhere dense when the closure A does<br />

not contain any open subset.<br />

Examples: <strong>The</strong> integers Z is nowhere dense in R.<br />

<strong>The</strong> set { 1<br />

n : n ∈ N} is nowhere dense [0,1].<br />
