''open kernel of a set $M$''
 
 
 
The set $\langle M \rangle$ of all interior points of $M$, cf. [[Interior point of a set]]. If $A$ and $B$ are mutually complementary sets in a topological space $X$, that is, if $B = X \setminus A$, then $X \setminus [A] = \langle B \rangle$ and $X \setminus \langle B \rangle = [ A ]$, where $[A]$ denotes the closure of $A$ (cf. [[Closure of a set]]).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
====Comments====
 
$\langle M \rangle$ is usually called the interior of $M$ (cf. [[Interior of a set]]), and is also denoted by $M^\circ$ and $\mathrm{Int}\, M$. The word  "kernel"  is seldom used in the English mathematical literature in this context.
