Closure operator — In mathematics, a closure operator on a set S is a function cl: P(S) → P(S) from the power set of S to itself which satisfies the following conditions for all sets X,Y ⊆ S. X ⊆ cl(X) (cl is extensive) X ⊆ Y implies cl(X) ⊆ cl(Y) (cl… … Wikipedia
Boolean algebras canonically defined — Boolean algebras have been formally defined variously as a kind of lattice and as a kind of ring. This article presents them more neutrally but equally formally as simply the models of the equational theory of two values, and observes the… … Wikipedia
