Topic: Should Preperfect be renamed to DenseInItself?
Daniel Weber (Jul 18 2024 at 08:58):
According to the implementation notes in Mathlib.Topology.Perfect
:
We define a nonstandard predicate,
Preperfect
, which drops the closed-ness requirement from the definition of perfect.
But every point in a set being an accumulation point of it is exactly the condition for a set to be dense-in-itself.
Antoine Chambert-Loir (Jul 18 2024 at 09:10):
I do not recommend the terminology “Dense in itself” which is ambiguous (because every set is dense in itself). Wikipedia suggests Crowded
, but since we have NoZeroDivisors
, I feel that NoIsolatedPoints
would be even better.
