Closure
From Conservapedia
In topology, the closure of a set
is the intersection of all closed sets containing
. Equivalently, the closure of
is the union of
and all limit points of
A closure operator is an abstract (category theory) form of the topological notion of closure which can be applied to any set
. It is a function
from
to the power set of
satisfying the following conditions:
-
(augmentation) - If
then
(monotonicity) -
(idempotence)
In the category of topological spaces, this operator is isomorphic to the standard topological one.
