A subset of a topological space is called delta-open if it is the intersection of

countably many open sets.

D. B. Gauld and others defined a topology on the set X=[0, +infinity[ by

using the sets A\cap [x, +infinity[ , where x is in X and A is a co-finite subset

of X as the basic open sets.

They stated that ever dense, delta-open subset of the space X is of the form

A cap [x, +infinity[ , where x is in X and A is a co-countable subset of X.

However, I have not been able to prove this statement, despite that they

considered it to be obvious. Therefore, I ask you to provide me a

reasonable proof.

Their statement is important. Namely, it can be used to prove that

Volterra spaces are genuine generalizations of Baire spaces.
