In a metric space {ℜ, ρ}, a subset is called meager or of the first category if it can be represented as a countable union of nowhere dense subsets. We say that a property holds for most1 elements of Ii if it holds for all elements of ℜ that lie off a meager subset. In 1899, R. Baire [1] found that every meager subset of a compact metric space or a locally compact metric space has a dense complement. So, in a topological sense, meager sets are “small,” whereas their complements are “large.”
