A topological space such that for any infinite system of pairs of closed subsets of it,

there are partitions (cf. Partition) (between and ) such that . An infinite-dimensional space which is not weakly infinite dimensional is called strongly infinite dimensional. Weakly infinite-dimensional spaces are also called -weakly infinite dimensional. If in the above definition it is further required that some finite subfamily of the 's have empty intersection, one obtains the concept of an -weakly infinite-dimensional space.

Comments

In addition to the above, -weakly stands for Aleksandrov weakly, and -weakly for Smirnov weakly. There is also the obsolete notion of Hurewicz-weakly infinite-dimensional space. Cf. the survey [a1].

To avoid ambiguity in the phrase "infinite-dimensional space" , the space could be required to be metrizable, cf. [a2].
