In the [[mathematics]] of [[metric spaces]], an '''<math>\varepsilon</math>-net''', or '''epsilon net''' relates to having a set which approximates another in the sense that any point in the second set is within a small distance of a point in the first (approximating) set. |
|||
== Definition == |
|||
An '''{{math|<var>ε</var>}}-net''' is a set of points in a [[metric space]] such that each point of the space is within distance {{math|<var>ε</var>}} of some point in the set. For example, if {{math|<var>ε</var> > 1/2}}, then the integers are an {{math|<var>ε</var>}}-net of the real numbers. |
|||
This should not be confused with the concept of a ''[[net (mathematics)|net]]'', which is equivalent a generalization of the concept of [[sequence]]. |
