The topology generated by it is known as lower limit topology on r. This agrees with their definition because if aempty set, then nothings in there so the implication to the right of the bar is true i think some might say vacuously true, but i dont like the term.
The collection of the non empty set and the set x itself is always a topology on x, and is called the indiscrete topology on x. Such spaces are commonly called indiscrete, antidiscrete, or codiscrete. Let x r with the discrete topology and y r with the indiscrete topology. For example, there are four possible topologies on the set. A discrete topological space is a set with the topological structure con sisting of all subsets.
