Algebraic interior
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the algebraic interior or radial kernel of a subset of a vector space is a refinement of the concept of the interior. It is the subset of points contained in a given set with respect to which it is absorbing, i.e. the radial points of the set.[1] The elements of the algebraic interior are often referred to as internal points.[2][3]
Formally, if is a linear space then the algebraic interior of

Relation to interior
Let be a topological vector space,
denote the interior operator, and

- If

- If
is a closed convex set and
is a complete metric space, then
