Some Properties of Interior and Closure in General Topology

Abstract

We present the necessary and sufficient conditions that the intersection of an open set and a closed set becomes either an open set or a closed set. As their dualities, we further introduce the necessary and sufficient conditions that the union of a closed set and an open set becomes either a closed set or an open set. Moreover, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of U ∘ ∪ V ∘ = ( U ∪ V ) ∘ and U ¯ ∩ V ¯ = U ∩ V ¯ . Finally, we introduce a necessary and sufficient condition for an open subset of a closed subspace of a topological space to be open. As its duality, we also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a closed subset of an open subspace to be closed.
