Isolated point

Japanese: 孤立点 - こりつてん(英語表記)isolated point
Isolated point
(1) Let S be a topological space, M be a subset of it, and M ' be the derived set of M. If a point p of M is not included in M ', that is, if pM and pM ', then point p is called an isolated point of M , and a set consisting of only isolated points is called a discrete set. (2) Let M be all the points on a plane curve f ( x , y ) = 0. If there is no other point on M with f ( x , y ) = 0 in the vicinity of point p , then point p is said to be an isolated point of the curve. In other words, it is a point that is isolated from the curve, but whose coordinates satisfy the equation of the curve. For example, if a < 0 on the curve y2 - x2 ( x + a ) = 0, then the origin (0,0) is a point on this curve, and since x + a < 0 in the vicinity, there is no corresponding real value of y . Therefore, the origin (0,0) is an isolated point of this curve. This can be interpreted as a point that is isolated as a real branch, but is connected to the curve by a branch of the imaginary component.

Japanese:
(1) S を位相空間とし,その部分集合を MM の導集合を M'とする。いま M の点 p が,M'には含まれないとき,すなわち pM かつ pM'のとき,点 pM の孤立点といい,孤立点だけからなる集合を離散集合という。(2) 平面上の曲線 fxy)=0 上の点全体を M とするとき,M 上の点 p の近傍に,p 以外には,曲線 fxy)=0 の点が存在しなければ,点 p はその曲線の孤立点であるという。すなわち,曲線から孤立はしているが,その座標が曲線の方程式を満たしている点である。たとえば,曲線 y2x2xa)=0 において a<0 ならば,原点(0,0)はこの曲線上の点であり,その近傍では xa<0 だから,それに対応する y の実数値は存在しない。それゆえ原点(0,0)はこの曲線の孤立点である。これは実数の枝としては孤立しているが,虚数成分の枝で曲線とつながっている点と解釈できる。
