    Closed Set

    Basic definition

    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.

    Detailed definition

    There are several equivalent definitions of a closed set. Let S be a subset of a metric space. A set S is closed if 
1. The complement of S is an open set, 2.S is its own set closure, 3. Sequences/nets/filters in S that converge do so within S, 4. Every point outside S has a neighborhood disjoint from S.
