In mathematics, a monotonically normal space is a particular kind of normal space, with some special characteristics, and is such that it is hereditarily normal, and any two separated subsets are strongly separated. They are defined in terms of a monotone normality operator.
A topological space is said to be monotonically normal if the following condition holds:
For every, where G is open, there is an open set such that
- if then either or .
There are some equivalent criteria of monotone normality.

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or space:
“Love brings to light the lofty and hidden characteristics of the lover—what is rare and exceptional in him: to that extent it can easily be deceptive with respect to what is normal in him.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
