The filter on an infinite set $A$ consisting of all cofinite subsets of $A$: that is, all subsets of $A$ such that the relative complement is finite. More generally, the filter on a set $A$ of cardinality $\mathfrak{a}$ consisting of all subsets of $A$ with relative complement of cardinality strictly less than $\mathfrak{a}$. The Fréchet filter is not principal.

The Fréchet ideal is the ideal dual to the Fréchet filter: it is the collection of all finite subsets of $A$, or all subsets of cardinality strictly less than $\mathfrak{a}$, respectively.
