Definition

Let (X,τ)(X, \tau) be a topological space, and xXx \in X a point. A neighborhood base at xx is a collection {U iX} iI\{U_i \subset X\}_{i \in I} of neighbourhoods of xx such that every neighborhood WW of xx (which WLOG we may assume open) contains some U iU_i:

WopenXW{x}(iI(U iW)). \underset{ { W \underset{\text{open}}{\subset} X } \atop { W \supset \{x\} } }{\forall} \left( \underset{i \in I}{\exists} \left( U_i \subset W \right) \right) \,.
