Quasi-open map

In topology a branch of mathematics, a quasi-open map or quasi-interior map is a function which has similar properties to continuous maps. However, continuous maps and quasi-open maps are not related.[1]

Definition

A function f : X \to Y between topological spaces X and Y is quasi-open if, for any non-empty open set U \subset X, the interior of f(U) in Y is non-empty.[1][2]

Properties

Let f: X \to Y be a function such that X and Y are topological spaces.
