This function from the unit circle to the half-open interval [0,2π) is bijective, open, and closed, but not continuous. It shows that the image of a compact space under an open or closed map need not be compact. Also note that if we consider this as a function from the unit circle to the real numbers, then it is neither open nor closed.
In topology, a clopen set (a portmanteau of closed-open set) in a topological space is a set which is both open and closed. That this is possible may seem counterintuitive, as the common meanings of open and closed are antonyms, but their mathematical definitions are not mutually exclusive .
This is an example of what Popper called a "closed circle": The proposition that the patient is homosexual is not falsifiable. Closed-circle theory is sometimes used to denote a relativist, anti-realist philosophy of science, such that different groups may have different self-consistent truth claims about the natural world.
The Euler characteristic of a point (and therefore also that of a closed or open disk) is 1. [7] Every continuous map from the closed disk to itself has at least one fixed point (we don't require the map to be bijective or even surjective); this is the case n=2 of the Brouwer fixed-point theorem. [8] The statement is false for the open disk: [9]
A set that is a neighbourhood of each of its points is open since it can be expressed as the union of open sets containing each of its points. A closed rectangle, as illustrated in the figure, is not a neighbourhood of all its points; points on the edges or corners of the rectangle are not contained in any open set that is contained within the ...
The points on or above the red curve provide an example of a closed set whose convex hull is open (the open upper half-plane). Topologically, the convex hull of an open set is always itself open, and the convex hull of a compact set is always itself compact. However, there exist closed sets for which the convex hull is not closed. [12]

The area of an annulus is the difference in the areas of the larger circle of radius R and the smaller one of radius r: = = = (+) (). As a corollary of the chord formula, the area bounded by the circumcircle and incircle of every unit convex regular polygon is π /4
