F-sigma set
Encyclopedia : F : FS : FSI : F-sigma set
In mathematics, an Fσ set (said F-sigma set) is a countable union of closed sets. The notation originated in France with F for fermé (French:closed) and σ for somme (French:union).
In metrizable spaces, every open set is an Fσ set.
The complement of a Fσ set is a Gδ set. In a metrizable space, any closed set is a Gδ set.
The union of countably many Fσ sets is an Fσ set, and the intersection of finitely many Fσ sets is an Fσ set.
