Is this interior-closure identity true? $(Ccap mathrm{Cl}(A))cup(Ccap mathrm{Cl}(Xsetminus A))=Ccup...

$begingroup$



Let $X$ be a topological space. Let $A,Csubseteq X$. Then, is it true that
$$(Ccap mathrm{Cl}(A))cup(Ccap mathrm{Cl}(Xsetminus A))=Ccup (Ccappartial A)$$




I've shown (if I'm not wrong) that
$$Ccap mathrm{Cl}(Xsetminus A)=Csetminus mathrm{Int}(A)$$ but I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Note that any set $Asubset X$ partitions $X$ into three sets: the interior points of $A$, the boundary points of $A$, and the exterior points of $A$. The closure is interior + boundary. This idea helps for a lot of identities involving interiors, boundaries and closures.

By the distributive law:
$$(Ccap overline{A}) cup (C cap overline{(Xsetminus A)})= C cap (overline{A}cup overline{Xsetminus A})= C cap X = C$$



Your statement is not wrong since $C cap delta A$ is a subset of C, thus $C cup (C cap delta A)= C$.

Yes, correct on both. Derive a complicated formula

involving $partial$(A $cup$ B) and $partial$(A $cap$ B).

    $begingroup$

    Since $Ccap partial A$ is a subset of $C$, the RHS of the identity if just $C$. The LHS simplifies to
    $$
    C cap left( operatorname{Cl}(A) cup operatorname{Cl}(Xsetminus A) right).
    $$

    Since $operatorname{Cl}(A) cup operatorname{Cl}(Xsetminus A)$ contains all the points of $A$ and all the points of $Xsetminus A$ it is equal to $X$. Hence the LHS is $Ccap X = C$ and agrees with the RHS.
