  • Given a set \(X\) with a linear (simple) order, we can construct a topology called the order topology on \(X\). This is based on the intervals that can be defined thanks to the linear structure imposed by the simple order.
  • In \(\mathbb{R}\), the order topology coincides with the standard topology, however in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), the order topology (induced from dictionary order) is different from the standard topology.
