In topology

Regular space: A topological space is termed regular if all points are closed sets (the assumption), and, given a point and a closed set not containing it, there are disjoint open sets containing the point and closed set respectively.

In some definitions, the assumption is skipped.

Related terms: regularity (the property of a topological space being regular)
