Topologically closed

From Mathematics Is A Science
Jump to navigationJump to search

Given a topological space $X$, its subset $A$ is called sequentially closed if taking the limits of sequences of the elements of $A$ won't result in elements outside of $A$.

Allowing transfinite sequences results in a concept equivalent to the usual definition closed set, see Open and closed sets.

Compare to algebraically closed subsets.
