Statement

Let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space, let AXA\subseteq X, let II be a set, and let (Ui)iI(U_i)_{i\in I} be a family of subsets of XX.

We say that (Ui)iI(U_i)_{i\in I} is an open cover of AA in XX if the following two conditions hold.

  1. For every iIi\in I, one has UiTU_i\in\mathcal{T}.
  2. One has
AiIUi.A\subseteq \bigcup_{i\in I} U_i.

If (Ui)iI(U_i)_{i\in I} is an open cover of AA in XX and if JIJ\subseteq I, then the subfamily (Uj)jJ(U_j)_{j\in J} is called a subcover of AA if

AjJUj.A\subseteq \bigcup_{j\in J} U_j.
