Finite-Compliment Topology and intersection of interior

In summary, the conversation discusses finding a counterexample to show that the arbitrary intersection of the interior of a subset in the finite-compliment topology is not equal to the interior of the arbitrary intersection of a subset in the same topology. The homework equations are used to demonstrate that [-1/n, 1/n] is not a valid counterexample. After considering different shapes of open sets in the topological space, it is discovered that A(n) = R-{n} is the counterexample.

[SOLVED]Finite-Compliment Topology and intersection of interior

Homework Statement



Given topological space (R[tex]^{1}[/tex], finite compliment topology), find counter example to show that

Arbitary Intersection of (interior of subset of R[tex]^{1}[/tex]) is not equal to Interior of (arbitary intersection of subset of R[tex]^{1}[/tex]).

[tex]\bigcap^{\infty}_{n=1}int(A_{n})\neq int(\bigcap^{\infty}_{n=1}A_{n}) [/tex]

Homework Equations



When we consider topological space (R[tex]^{1}[/tex], usual topology), it is easy to find out that [-1/n, 1/n] is the example.


The Attempt at a Solution



First, I thought what shapes the open of topological space (R[tex]^{1}[/tex], finite compliment topology) might have, and it seems to have some shape of real line having finite omissions.
And I tried [tex] A_{n}[/tex] = R-[-1/n, 1/n], and [-1/n, 1/n], but found out all of these are not counterexample..

Look at random subsets of R, and study what their interiors look like.
 
  • #3
A(n) = R-{n}

A(n)=R-{n} is the counterexample...
I tried this case many times but it was not the counterexample,
but after some fresh air, it is clear this is counter example..
 

Related to Finite-Compliment Topology and intersection of interior

What is Finite-Compliment Topology?

Finite-Compliment Topology is a type of topology on a set where the open sets are the empty set and any set whose compliment is finite.

What is the intersection of interior?

The intersection of interior refers to the set of all points that are contained in the interior of all sets in a given collection of sets.

How is Finite-Compliment Topology different from other types of topology?

Finite-Compliment Topology is different from other types of topology because it only allows for a finite number of open sets, while other topologies may have an infinite number of open sets.

What are the advantages of using Finite-Compliment Topology?

The main advantage of using Finite-Compliment Topology is its simplicity and ease of understanding. It is also useful in situations where infinite sets are not needed or desired.

What are some real-world applications of Finite-Compliment Topology?

Finite-Compliment Topology has applications in areas such as point-set topology, functional analysis, and graph theory. It can also be used in computer science for data structures and algorithms.
