Definition
Let $\struct {S, \preceq}$ be an ordered set.
A closure operator on $S$ is a mapping $\cl: S \to S$ satisfying the following closure axioms as follows for all elements $x, y \in S$:
\((\text {cl} 1)\) | $:$ | $\cl$ is inflationary: | \(\ds x \) | \(\ds \preceq \) | \(\ds \map \cl x \) | ||||
\((\text {cl} 2)\) | $:$ | $\cl$ is increasing: | \(\ds x \preceq y \) | \(\ds \implies \) | \(\ds \map \cl x \preceq \map \cl y \) | ||||
\((\text {cl} 3)\) | $:$ | $\cl$ is idempotent: | \(\ds \map \cl {\map \cl x} \) | \(\ds = \) | \(\ds \map \cl x \) |
