A topological space X is said to be completely regular space, if every closed set A in X and a point , , then there exist a continuous function , such that and . In other words, a topological space X is said to be a completely regular space if for any and a closed set C not containing x, there exist a continuous function such that and .
Remark: Let us consider a continuous function defined as and . Since constant function is continuous therefore taking the function , where . Now   And   Moreover the continuous function defined in the condition for completely regular space is said to be separate the point x form the set A.
Tychonoff Space: A completely regular T1-space is said to be a Tychonoff space or a -space.
Note: It may be noted that since product of T1-space is T1-space and product of completely regular space is completely regular space, so product of Tychonoff space is Tychonoff space.
Theorems:
- Every completely regular space is a regular space as well.
- Every completely regular T1-space is Hausdorff space or T2-space.
- Every subspace of a completely regular space is completely regular space.
- Product of completely regular space is a completely regular space.
- Every subspace of Tychonoff space is Tychonoff space.
- Every Tychonoff space is Hausdorff space.
