Extended real number line. In mathematics, the extended real number system[a] is obtained from the real number system by adding two elements denoted and [b] that are respectively greater and lower than every real number. This allows for treating the potential infinities of infinitely increasing sequences and infinitely decreasing series as ...
Positive real numbers. In mathematics, the set of positive real numbers, is the subset of those real numbers that are greater than zero. The non-negative real numbers, also include zero. Although the symbols and are ambiguously used for either of these, the notation or for and or for has also been widely employed, is aligned with the practice ...
The long real line pastes together ℵ 1 * + ℵ 1 copies of the real line plus a single point (here ℵ 1 * denotes the reversed ordering of ℵ 1) to create an ordered set that is "locally" identical to the real numbers, but somehow longer; for instance, there is an order-preserving embedding of ℵ 1 in the long real line but not in the real ...
The rational numbers form an initial totally ordered set which is dense in the real numbers. Moreover, the reflexive reduction < is a dense order on the rational numbers. The real numbers form an initial unbounded totally ordered set that is connected in the order topology (defined below). Ordered fields are totally ordered by definition. They ...
Subset. A is a subset of B (denoted ) and, conversely, B is a superset of A (denoted ). In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B if all elements of A are also elements of B; B is then a superset of A. It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B.
Completeness is a property of the real numbers that, intuitively, implies that there are no "gaps" (in Dedekind's terminology) or "missing points" in the real number line. This contrasts with the rational numbers, whose corresponding number line has a "gap" at each irrational value. In the decimal number system, completeness is equivalent to ...
Pokémon Black Version[a] and Pokémon White Version[b] are 2010 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. They are the first installments in the fifth generation of the Pokémon video game series. [6] First released in Japan on 18 September 2010, they were later ...
Dense-in-itself. In general topology, a subset of a topological space is said to be dense-in-itself[1][2] or crowded[3][4] if has no isolated point. Equivalently, is dense-in-itself if every point of is a limit point of . Thus is dense-in-itself if and only if , where is the derived set of . A dense-in-itself closed set is called a perfect set.
