Oct 11, 2021 at 21:03 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @IosifPinelis Oh I see now, sorry! By some reason I was reasoning as if $F$ is open rather than closed...
Oct 11, 2021 at 19:53 comment added Iosif Pinelis @მამუკაჯიბლაძე : Yes, in a regular space $X$, for any nonempty open $V$ there is a nonempty open $U$ with $\overline U\subseteq V$. But this is not enough for the normality of $X$, even if $X$ is Hausdorff. And the posted problem is equivalent to that of proving that the topological space $\mathbb R$ is normal.

Oct 10, 2021 at 21:46 comment added Iosif Pinelis @მამუკაჯიბლაძე : I think the regularity is not enough. There are regular Hausdorff spaces that are not normal math.stackexchange.com/a/3874422/96609

Oct 10, 2021 at 6:50 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე A topological space is regular if and only if every open $V$ is the union of those opens $U\subseteq V$ satisfying $\overline U\subseteq V$. Then use that $\mathbb R\setminus F$ is regular.

`\cup` -> `\bigcup`
Oct 9, 2021 at 22:16 comment added LSpice You choose $r_x$, use it to define $U$, then define $r_y$ depending on $U$—that's circular. (The claim that $U \subsetneq V$ also seems not to have been demonstrated.) This is not research level.
