Connectedness and Path connectedness

Local (path) connectedness

A topological space is (path-)connected iff for each and every neighbourhood of , there exists a (path-)connected open neighbourhood of such that . Equivalently, every point has a neighbourhood basis of (path-)connected sets. topology

Local (path) connectedness is neither weaker nor stronger than (path) connectedness, however Locally path connected spaces have identical connected and path-connected components.
