Convex hull (red) of a polygon (yellow). The usual set closure from topology is a closure operator. Other examples include the linear span of a subset of a vector space, the convex hull or affine hull of a subset of a vector space or the lower semicontinuous hull ¯ of a function : {}, where is e.g. a normed space, defined implicitly (¯) = ¯, where is the epigraph of a function .
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 ...
If is a set equipped with a mapping satisfying the above properties, then the set of all possible outputs of cl satisfies the previous axioms for closed sets, and hence defines a topology; it is the unique topology whose associated closure operator coincides with the given cl. [22] As before, it follows that on a topological space , all ...
A function from one space to another is closed if the image of every closed set is closed. Closure The closure of a set is the smallest closed set containing the original set. It is equal to the intersection of all closed sets which contain it. An element of the closure of a set S is a point of closure of S. Closure operator See Kuratowski ...
Closure operators allow generalizing the concept of closure to any partially ordered set. Given a poset S whose partial order is denoted with ≤, a closure operator on S is a function: that is increasing (() for all ),
The intersection property also allows one to define the closure of a set in a space , which is defined as the smallest closed subset of that is a superset of . Specifically, the closure of can be constructed as the intersection of all of these closed supersets.
Its closure cl(Mh) in the norm of H is a closed linear subspace, with corresponding orthogonal projection P : H → cl(Mh) in L(H). In fact, this P is in M′, as we now show. Lemma. P ∈ M′. Proof. Fix x ∈ H. As Px ∈ cl(Mh), it is the limit of a sequence O n h with O n in M.
Cl(S) = { x ∈ X : there exists a y ∈ S with x ≤ y} for all S ⊆ X. Considering the interior operator and closure operator to be modal operators on the power set Boolean algebra of X , this construction is a special case of the construction of a modal algebra from a modal frame i.e. from a set with a single binary relation .
