FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS HW 2 Recall:
A set A is closed if its complement is open.
In a topological space X, and X are closed.
Intersection of closed sets is closed.
Finite union of closed sets is closed.
A neighborhood of a point x is an open set that contains x. The set of all neighborhoods of x is denoted by Nx .
A set A is open iff x A, V Nx , V A. o o
The interior of A, denoted by A is the set of all interior points of A, i.e. A = {x : V Nx , V A}.
Let A be a subset of a topological space X. Then o o
A A and A is open. o
A is the largest open set which is contained in A. o
A is open iff A = A. o o o A = A .
In R, every closed interval is closed. Problems:
