The closure-complement-frontier problem in saturated polytopological spaces
Abstract
Let be a space equipped with topologies which are pairwise comparable and saturated, and for each let and be the associated topological closure and frontier operators, respectively. Inspired by the closure-complement theorem of Kuratowski, we prove that the monoid of set operators generated by (where denotes the set complement operator) has cardinality no more than where . The bound is sharp in the following sense: for each there exists a saturated polytopological space and a subset such that repeated application of the operators to will yield exactly distinct sets. In particular, following the tradition for Kuratowski-type problems, we exhibit an explicit initial set in , equipped with the usual and Sorgenfrey topologies, which yields distinct sets under the action of the monoid .
