The empty set and the set of all reals are both open and closed intervals, while the set of non-negative reals, is a closed interval that is right-open but not left-open. The open intervals are open sets of the real line in its standard topology, and form a base of the open sets.
If both types of brackets are the same, the entire interval may be referred to as closed or open as appropriate. Whenever infinity or negative infinity is used as an endpoint (in the case of intervals on the real number line ), it is always considered open and adjoined to a parenthesis.
In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis and topology, closed graph is a property of functions. [1] [2] A function f : X → Y between topological spaces has a closed graph if its graph is a closed subset of the product space X × Y. A related property is open graph. [3]
The lower limit topology is finer (has more open sets) than the standard topology on the real numbers (which is generated by the open intervals). The reason is that every open interval can be written as a (countably infinite) union of half-open intervals. For any real and , the interval [,) is clopen in (i.e., both open and closed).
In mathematics, the closed graph theorem may refer to one of several basic results characterizing continuous functions in terms of their graphs. Each gives conditions when functions with closed graphs are necessarily continuous. A blog post [1] by T. Tao lists several closed graph theorems throughout mathematics.
In mathematics, more specifically in topology, an open map is a function between two topological spaces that maps open sets to open sets. [1] [2] [3] That is, a function : is open if for any open set in , the image is open in . Likewise, a closed map is a function that maps closed sets to closed sets.

Jordan measure is first defined on Cartesian products of bounded half-open intervals = [,) [,) [,) that are closed at the left and open at the right with all endpoints and finite real numbers (half-open intervals is a technical choice; as we see below, one can use closed or open intervals if preferred).
