Sets $A$ and $B$ in a topological space are [name?] if and only if there exists a nonempty open set $E$ such that $E\subset A$ and $E\cap B=\emptyset$.

Since $A$ and $B$ need not be disjoint, modifications of the word "separated" seem inappropriate. Perhaps the condition above is equivalent to some standard relation among sets in a topological space?

    Thank you. There probably is no single word used yet. Just wanted to check first before naming the property myself.2012-09-30
