Some applications of minimal open sets

We characterize minimal open sets in topological spaces. We show that any nonempty subset of a minimal open set is pre-open. As an application of a theory of minimal open sets, we obtain a sufficient condition for a locally finite space to be a pre-Hausdorff space.
