Guttman Topology

Suppose S is a set of points in a metric space (X,d).

A point x in S is an outer-point of S if there is a y in X - S such that x is the closest point of S to y. Thus there must be a y in X - S such that d(S,y) = d(x,y).

If the outer-points of S are in SO, then the inner-points are SI=S-SO.
