Let X is a non empty set, and then the collection of subsets of X whose compliments are finite along with (empty set), forms a topology on X, and is called co-finite topology.
Example: Let with topology is a co-finite topology because the compliments of all the subsets of X are finite.
Note: It may be noted that every infinite set may or may not be co-finite topology, for this suppose (set of real numbers which is infinite set) with topology is a co-finite topology because compliments of all the members of topology along with empty set are finite.
Remark: If X is finite, then topology is discrete. For a subset of X belongs to if and only if, it is either empty or its compliment is finite. When X is finite, the compliment of each of its subset is finite and therefore, each subset of X belongs to . Hence is the discrete topology on X.
