Closed

Definition (Closed)

Let XX be a Topological Space. A set EXE\subset X is closed if its complement EcTE^{c}\in \mathscr{T} is Open (or in the Topology).

Proposition

Given a Topological Space, (X,T)(X,\mathscr{T}), the following statements are equivalent:

  1. AXA\subseteq X is Closed.
  2. Ac=XAA^{c}=X\setminus A is Open.
  3. A=AˉA=\bar{A}, i.e. AA is equal to its Closure.
  4. AA contains all its limit points, i.e. (xn)nNA s.t. xX:xnx    xA.\forall (x_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\subset A \text{ s.t. } \exists x\in X:x_{n}\to x \implies x\in A.
  5. AA contains all of its boundary points
