I have the following problem and I'm having trouble putting the theory in practice.




Let $X = a,b,c,d $ with the topology $T = emptyset, a, b, a,b, X$. Find the subsets of $X$ that are dense in $X$.




Also, if you can help me with some theory for newbies in this subject, it would be awesome. :3

  • I have the theory upfront, but i really can't understand the concepts. I've seen this post math.stackexchange.com/questions/1797859/… and i get the fact that if i take let's say M = b ⊂ T then the dense subsets are a,b, b,c and b,d. Is it correct?

Take $A=a,b$. Then $A$ is dense in $X$ as any non empty open set intersects $A$. Also you can take another dense set say $a,b,c$...this is also a dense set since any non empty open set intersects it...In this way u can find out all the dense set in this space.

    And you cannot have any other set be dense, because $a$ is a nonempty open set in your topology, so any dense set needs a nonempty intersection with $a$, which means it must contain $a$, the same goes for $b$. So any dense set must be a superset of $a,b$, as stated above.

  • Let me try to understand what you just said...when you're referring to "non empty open set" you're referring to any set of X with at least 2 elements?
    – Timur Mengazi
    Aug 29 at 7:32










  • @TimurMengazi....NO..non empty means "having at least one element"...for example in this case the non empty open sets are precisely $a$, $b$, $a,b$ and $X$

  • so if I had T = O, b, c , b,c, X then the dense subsets are b,c and b,c,d and a,b,c, a,b,c,d bcs they have at least one element when intersected with T?
