Closure, definition
To define a closure, we will utilize ε-adherent points and adherent points. Sets of reals have adherent points analogous to sequences of reals having [...].
ε-adherent point
Let \( X \) be a subset of \( \mathbb{R} \), let \( \varepsilon > 0 \) be a real and \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) be another real. We say that \( x \) is ε-adherent to \( X \) iff [...].
Adherent point
Let \( X \) be a subset of \( \mathbb{R} \), and let \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) be a real. We say that \( x \) is an adherent point of \( X \) iff [...].
Closure
Let \( X \) be a subset of \( \mathbb{R} \). The closure of \( X \), sometimes denoted as \( \overline{X} \), is defined to be [...].
