Let Ω be an index set and for each αϵΩ let fα:X → Xα be a function where X and Xα are sets. Assume that, for each α, a topology is given for Xα. Then, as is well-known, the functions fα and the topologies determine a topology for X. This is the so-called weak or initial topology, which is generated by .
