List of exceptional set concepts

This is a list of exceptional set concepts. In mathematics, and in particular in mathematical analysis, it is very useful to be able to characterise subsets of a given set X as 'small', in some definite sense, or 'large' if their complement in X is small. There are numerous concepts that have been introduced to study 'small' or 'exceptional' subsets. In the case of sets of natural numbers, it is possible to define more than one concept of 'density', for example.
