Theorem
Let $T$ be a topological space.
Let $H \subseteq T$.
Then the closure $\map \cl H$ of $H$ is closed in $T$.
Proof
From Closure of Topological Closure equals Closure:
- $\map \cl {\map \cl H} = \map \cl H$
From Set is Closed iff Equals Topological Closure, it follows that $\map \cl H$ is closed.
