show/hide this revision's text 2 Added strikeout for the interior of a set.

A lot of ideas from topology and analysis don't have obvious discrete analogues to me. At least, the obvious discrete analogues are vacuous.

  • Compactness.
  • Boundedness.
  • Limits.
  • The interior of a set.

I think a better question is which ideas have surprisingly interesting discrete analogues, like cohomology or scissors congruence.
