- Abstract Algebra:
- Closure: An algebraic structure $\struct {S, \circ}$ has the property of closure if and only if $\forall \tuple {x, y} \in S \times S: x \circ y \in S$.
- Integral Closure: The set of all elements of $A$ (where $A / R$ is a ring extension) that are integral over $R$.

- Topology:
- Closure: The closure of a subset $A$ of a topological space $T$ is the union of $A$ and its boundary.
- Closure: The closure of a subset $H$ of a metric space $M$ is the union of the isolated points of $H$ and all limit points of $H$.
- Set Theory:
- The transitive closure of a set $S$ is the smallest transitive superset of $S$.
- Relation Theory:
- The reflexive closure $\RR^=$ of a relation $\RR$ on $S$ is the smallest reflexive relation on $S$ which contains $\RR$.
- The symmetric closure $\RR^\leftrightarrow$ of a relation $\RR$ on $S$ is the smallest symmetric relation on $S$ which contains $\RR$.
- The transitive closure $\RR^+$ of a relation $\RR$ on $S$ is the smallest transitive relation on $S$ which contains $\RR$.
