Definition:Exterior (Topology)/Notation

Definition
Let $T$ be a topological space.

Let $H \subseteq T$.

The exterior of $H$ can be denoted:


 * $\operatorname{Ext} \left({H}\right)$
 * $H^e$

The first is regarded by some as cumbersome, but has the advantage of being clear.

$H^e$ is neat and compact, but has the disadvantage of being relatively obscure.

On, the notation of choice is $H^e$.
