Interior of a Subset of a Metric Space

A point is an interior point of a subset of a metric space if some open ball around it lies in the subset; the interior is the set of interior points.

Statement

In the setting of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces and Routine Facts, Continued: Typed Arithmetic, Maps and Predicativity, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space and let A⊆XA\subseteq X.

Interior point. A point x∈Xx\in X is an interior point of AA if there is a real number r>0r>0 such that the open ball Bd(x,r)B_{d}(x,r) is a subset of AA.

Interior. The interior of AA is the subset of XX consisting of the interior points of AA:

int⁡A={x∈X: Bd(x,r)⊆A for some real r>0}.\operatorname{int}A=\{x\in X:\ B_{d}(x,r)\subseteq A\text{ for some real }r>0\}.
