  2. Closure (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(topology)

    The definition of a point of closure of a set is closely related to the definition of a limit point of a set.The difference between the two definitions is subtle but important – namely, in the definition of a limit point of a set , every neighbourhood of must contain a point of other than itself, i.e., each neighbourhood of obviously has but it also must have a point of that is not equal to ...

  3. Spectrum of a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_of_a_ring

    The points of are closed in the spectrum, while the elements corresponding to subvarieties have a closure consisting of all their points and subvarieties. If one only considers the points of A {\displaystyle A} , i.e. the maximal ideals in R {\displaystyle R} , then the Zariski topology defined above coincides with the Zariski topology defined ...

  4. Adherent point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adherent_point

    Closed set – Complement of an open subset; Closure (topology) – All points and limit points in a subset of a topological space; Limit of a sequence – Value to which tends an infinite sequence; Limit point of a set – Cluster point in a topological space

  5. Support (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_(mathematics)

    In probability theory, the support of a probability distribution can be loosely thought of as the closure of the set of possible values of a random variable having that distribution. There are, however, some subtleties to consider when dealing with general distributions defined on a sigma algebra , rather than on a topological space.

  6. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

    The transitive closure of a set. [1] The algebraic closure of a field. [2] The integral closure of an integral domain in a field that contains it. The radical of an ideal in a commutative ring. In geometry, the convex hull of a set S of points is the smallest convex set of which S is a subset. [3]

  7. Support (measure theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_(measure_theory)

    By comparison with the notion of strict positivity of measures, we could take the support to be the set of all points with a neighbourhood of positive measure: {(() >)} (or the closure of this). It is also too simplistic: by taking N x = X {\displaystyle N_{x}=X} for all points x ∈ X , {\displaystyle x\in X,} this would make the support of ...

  8. Neighbourhood (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood_(mathematics)

    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 ...

  9. Dimension of an algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_of_an_algebraic...

    The real dimension of a set of real points, typically a semialgebraic set, is the dimension of its Zariski closure. For a semialgebraic set S, the real dimension is one of the following equal integers: [3] The real dimension of is the dimension of its Zariski closure.
