Closed Set
A closed set is a subset of a topological space that contains all of its limit points. A closed interval is an example of a closed set.
Closed set is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a topology course covering point-set topology.
Examples
| Interval: |
An interval is a connected piece of the real number line which may be open or closed at either end. |
Prerequisites
| Neighborhood: |
The neighborhood of a point is an open set containing that point. |
| Set: |
In mathematics, a set is a finite or infinite collection of objects in which order has no significance and multiplicity is generally also ignored. |
| Topological Space: |
A topological space is a set with a collection of subsets T that together satisfy a certain set of axioms defining the topology of that set. |
