A topological space X is called maximally resolvable if it admits a largest possible family of pairwise disjoint, “maximally dense” subsets. More precisely, if Δ(X) denotes the least among the cardinal numbers of the nonvoid open subsets of X, then X is maximally resolvable if it has isolated points or there exists a family {Rα}α < Δ(X) of subsets of X, called a maximal resolution for X, such that ∪{Rα | α < Δ(X)} = X, RγRδ==ϕ if γ ≠ δ, and, for each a and each nonvoid open subset V of X, the cardinality of RαV is not less than Δ(X).
