In summary, a set of the real numbers is an interval, if and only if it is an open interval, a closed interval, or a half-open interval. The only intervals that appear twice in the above classification are ∅ {\displaystyle \emptyset } and R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } that are both open and closed.
The lower limit topology is finer (has more open sets) than the standard topology on the real numbers (which is generated by the open intervals). The reason is that every open interval can be written as a (countably infinite) union of half-open intervals. For any real and , the interval [,) is clopen in (i.e., both open and closed).
While there are many Borel measures μ, the choice of Borel measure that assigns ((,]) = for every half-open interval (,] is sometimes called "the" Borel measure on . This measure turns out to be the restriction to the Borel σ-algebra of the Lebesgue measure λ {\displaystyle \lambda } , which is a complete measure and is defined on the ...
The half-open intervals [a, b) and (a, b] are defined similarly. Whenever a ≤ b does not hold, all these intervals are empty. Every interval is a convex set, but the converse does not hold; for example, in the poset of divisors of 120, ordered by divisibility (see Fig. 7b), the set {1, 2, 4, 5, 8} is convex, but not an interval.
The set of all open intervals forms a base or basis for the topology, meaning that every open set is a union of some collection of sets from the base. In particular, this means that a set is open if there exists an open interval of non zero radius about every point in the set. More generally, the Euclidean spaces R n can be given a topology. In ...

Half-open interval, an interval containing only one of its endpoints; Half-open line segment, a line segment containing only one of its endpoints; TCP half-open, a TCP connection out of synchronization
If is endowed with its usual Euclidean topology then the derived set of the half-open interval [,) is the closed interval [,]. Consider R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } with the topology (open sets) consisting of the empty set and any subset of R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } that contains 1.
