What is the name of a set with empty interior? Wikipedia in a older version, say that is a hollow set, but i think that it is false. It is true? thanks in advance!

On behalf of jargon-weary people, I humbly request such sets to be called "sets with empty interior". – user53153 Jan 15 at 3:47
@CameronBuie can you make your comment an answer to accept it? – Eduardo Alan Dávalos Peña Mar 1 at 2:26
Very well. I shall. – Cameron Buie Mar 1 at 5:50

I hereby dub such sets: "co-dense."

This terminology appears in Engelking's General Topology. – Arthur Fischer Mar 1 at 5:56

Wikipedia says that "sets with empty interior have been called boundary sets."
