Collar neighbourhood

In topology, a branch of mathematics, a collar neighbourhood of a manifold with boundary $M$ is a neighbourhood of its boundary $M$ that has the same structure as $M\times [0,1)$ .

Formally if $M$ is a differentiable manifold with boundary, $U\subset M$ is a collar neighbourhood of $M$ whenever there is a diffeomorphism $f:M\times [0,1)\to U$ such that for every $x\in \partial M$ , $f(x,0)=x$ .^[1]^{: p. 222} Every differentiable manifold has a collar neighbourhood.^[1]^{: th. 9.25}

Formally if $M$ is a topological manifold with boundary, $U\subset M$ is a collar neighbourhood of $M$ whenever there is an homeomorphism $f:M\times [0,1)\to U$ such that for every $x\in \partial M$ , $f(x,0)=x$ .
