Equivalence of Definitions of Connected Topological Space/No Union of Closed Sets implies No Subsets with Empty Boundary

Theorem
Let $T = \left({S, \tau}\right)$ be a topological space.

Let $T$ have no two disjoint non-empty closed sets whose union is $S$.

Then the only subsets of $S$ whose boundary is empty are $S$ and $\varnothing$.

Proof
Let $H \subseteq S$ be a non-empty subset whose boundary $\partial H$ is empty.

Thus:

Then we have that $H^-$ and $\left({S \setminus H}\right)^-$ are two closed sets of $T$ whose union is $S$.

Hence, by hypothesis, one of them must be empty.

Suppose $H$ is not empty.

It must therefore follow that:
 * $S \setminus H = \varnothing$

Therefore $H = S$.

Thus the only subsets of $S$ whose boundary is empty are $S$ and $\varnothing$.
