On hit-and-miss hyperspace topologies
The Vietoris topology and Fell topologies on the closed subsets of a Hausdorff uniform space are prototypes for hit-and-miss hyperspace topologies, having as a subbase all closed sets that hit a variable open set, plus all closed sets that miss (= fail to intersect) a variable closed set belonging to a prescribed family of closed sets. In the case of the Fell topology, where consists of the compact sets, a closed set misses a member of if and only if is far from in a uniform sense....
