Abstract

Given a topological space in which the operation of closure of a set, here denoted by 'e', has the properties: e (A+B) = eA+eB; A is a subset of eA, eO = 0, e²A = eA (where A is any subset of the space and 0 is the null set), we may define the interior 'i' of a set A by the formula iA = cecA (where cA denotes the complement of A in the space) and write a formula entirely equivalent to one due to C. Kuratowski (Fundamenta Mathematicae, III (1922), p. 183) in the following way: (1) (ei)²A = eiA.
