Precisely unless.

“A subset S is called absorbing if to each x#92;inX there is a real number #92;epsilon#61;#92;epsilon#95;xgt;0 such that #92;lambdax#92;inS for all #92;lambda with 0lt;#92;left#124;#92;lambda#92;right#124;#92;le#92;epsilon. Trivially the set X is absorbing; on the other hand #92;#123;0#92;#125; can never be absorbing (unlesss X#61;#92;#123;0#92;#125;).”
