TL;DR
An example of homeomorphism onto the image that isn't open in the target
Can you provide an example of homeomorphism onto the image φ:U→φ(U) where the image φ(U)⊂M is not open in M w.r.t. its assigned topology ?

Thanks.

Can you provide an example of homeomorphism onto the image φ:U→φ(U) where the image φ(U)⊂M is not open in M w.r.t. its assigned topology ?

Thanks.
Take a subset ##U\subset M##, which is not open and the identity map.

Ah ok, you mean a not open ##U \subset M## topologized with the subspace topology from ##M## taken as domain of the identity map ##I_d## (homeomorphism onto the image ##I_d(U)## w.r.t. the subspace topology from ##M##).
 
We all know the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold uses open sets and homeomorphisms onto the image as open set in ##\mathbb R^n##. It should be possible to reformulate the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold using closed sets on the manifold's topology and on ##\mathbb R^n## ? I'm positive for this. Perhaps the definition of smooth manifold would be problematic, though.
