Looking the name
If $x\in A$ verifies that $\forall\epsilon:B(x,\epsilon)\cap A\ne\varnothing,$ how is it called?

Thank you!

Is there a typo here?
Because this is always true since $x\in B(x,\epsilon)\cap A$.

No, no typo, it's just that I want to know how the point $x$ is called.

Then I want to learn this too. :)

Haha, okay, perhaps another known example:

$x\in A$ is said to be an interior point of $A$ if $\exists\delta>0:B(x,\delta)\subseteq A.$

$x\in X$ is said to be an accumulation (limit) point of $A$
provided that $(B(x,\varepsilon)\backslash\{x\})\cap A\neq\emptyset$ for every $\varepsilon>0$.

May be you are looking for this one?

Got it, the concept is "adherent point."

What you mean to say is that $x\in A$ or etc.

I think the other name that has is "closure point," does that make sense?
