Definition: Hereditary and Weakly Hereditary Properties

If every subspace of a topological space $(X,\mathcal O)$ has a property of $X$, this property is said to be hereditary.

A property of $X$ is said to be weakly hereditary, if every closed subset $U\subseteq X,$ considered as a subspace of $X$ has this property.
