... both open and closed (as we already saw for ∅ and X, and also in #1 on the first problem set); it can also fail to be either open or closed (as with a “half-open interval” [a, b) ⊂ R, or more dramatically Q ⊂ R). You may notice that Rudin defines closed sets differently (2.18d, p.32), but then prove ...

A Class of Separation Axioms in Generalized Topology
... Definition 3.8: [8] Let (X, µ) be a generalized space. A subset A of X is said to be gµ-closed if cµ ( A) ⊂ M whenever A ⊂ M and M ∈ µ. Various properties of gµ–closed sets are discussed and characterizations are given in[2] and these properties are valid for the generalized topologies induced by µ ...

... In this lecture we review properties and examples of bases and subbases. Then we consider ordered sets and the natural ”order topology” that one can lay on an ordered set, which makes all the open intervals (a, b) into open sets. Bases, ctd. Theorem 1. Let X be a topological space, and let B be a ba ...

On Pre-Λ-Sets and Pre-V-sets
... Following the lines of investigation of Maki in [11] one could now define generalized pre-Λ-sets and generalized pre-V-sets in the following way. Definition 3 A subset S of a space (X, τ ) is called (i) a generalized pre-Λ-set, briefly g-Λp -set, if Λp (S) ⊆ P whenever S ⊆ P and P ∈ PC(X, τ ) , (ii) ...

General topology
In mathematics, general topology is the branch of topology that deals with the basic set-theoretic definitions and constructions used in topology. It is the foundation of most other branches of topology, including differential topology, geometric topology, and algebraic topology. Another name for general topology is point-set topology.The fundamental concepts in point-set topology are continuity, compactness, and connectedness: Continuous functions, intuitively, take nearby points to nearby points. Compact sets are those that can be covered by finitely many sets of arbitrarily small size. Connected sets are sets that cannot be divided into two pieces that are far apart. The words 'nearby', 'arbitrarily small', and 'far apart' can all be made precise by using open sets, as described below. If we change the definition of 'open set', we change what continuous functions, compact sets, and connected sets are. Each choice of definition for 'open set' is called a topology. A set with a topology is called a topological space.Metric spaces are an important class of topological spaces where distances can be assigned a number called a metric. Having a metric simplifies many proofs, and many of the most common topological spaces are metric spaces.
