Preclosure operator

Résumé
In topology, a preclosure operator or Čech closure operator is a map between subsets of a set, similar to a topological closure operator, except that it is not required to be idempotent. That is, a preclosure operator obeys only three of the four Kuratowski closure axioms. A preclosure operator on a set is a map where is the power set of The preclosure operator has to satisfy the following properties: (Preservation of nullary unions); (Extensivity); (Preservation of binary unions). The last axiom implies the following: 4. implies . A set is closed (with respect to the preclosure) if . A set is open (with respect to the preclosure) if its complement is closed. The collection of all open sets generated by the preclosure operator is a topology; however, the above topology does not capture the notion of convergence associated to the operator, one should consider a pretopology, instead. Given a premetric on , then is a preclosure on The sequential closure operator is a preclosure operator.
