  2. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be left-closed if it has a minimum element or is left-unbounded, right-closed if it has a maximum or is right unbounded; it is simply closed if it is both left-closed and right closed. So, the closed intervals coincide with the closed sets in that topology.

  3. Fixed-point property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_property

    The closed interval is a special case of the closed disc, which in any finite dimension has the fixed-point property by the Brouwer fixed-point theorem. Topology

  4. Unit interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_interval

    The unit interval as a subset of the real line. In mathematics, the unit interval is the closed interval [0,1], that is, the set of all real numbers that are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1.

  5. Extreme value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theorem

    A continuous function () on the closed interval [,] showing the absolute max (red) and the absolute min (blue).. In calculus, the extreme value theorem states that if a real-valued function is continuous on the closed and bounded interval [,], then must attain a maximum and a minimum, each at least once.

  6. Template:Closed-closed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Closed-closed

    The closed-closed template wraps its argument in a left square bracket, right square bracket. These are used to delimit a closed-closed interval in mathematics, that is one which includes both the start and end points. The template uses {} to ensure there is no line break in the expression and format Greek characters better.

  7. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    A function is continuous on a semi-open or a closed interval; if the interval is contained in the domain of the function, the function is continuous at every interior point of the interval, and the value of the function at each endpoint that belongs to the interval is the limit of the values of the function when the variable tends to the ...

  8. Compact space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_space

    The interval C = (2, 4) is not compact because it is not closed (but bounded). The interval B = [0, 1] is compact because it is both closed and bounded. In mathematics , specifically general topology , compactness is a property that seeks to generalize the notion of a closed and bounded subset of Euclidean space . [ 1 ]

  9. Heine–Borel theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heine–Borel_theorem

    Central to the theory was the concept of uniform continuity and the theorem stating that every continuous function on a closed and bounded interval is uniformly continuous. Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was the first to prove this and implicitly he used the existence of a finite subcover of a given open cover of a closed interval in his proof. [1]
