Reason: First published version: the interior is open, contained in the set, contains every open subset of it, characterizes openness, and is monotone.

Statement

Let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space, and let AXA\subseteq X. Let intX(A)\operatorname{int}_X(A) denote the interior of AA in XX.

Then the following hold.

1. intX(A)A\operatorname{int}_X(A)\subseteq A.

2. intX(A)T\operatorname{int}_X(A)\in\mathcal{T}.

3. If UTU\in\mathcal{T} and UAU\subseteq A, then UintX(A)U\subseteq\operatorname{int}_X(A).

4. ATA\in\mathcal{T} if and only if A=intX(A)A=\operatorname{int}_X(A).

5. If BXB\subseteq X and ABA\subseteq B, then intX(A)intX(B)\operatorname{int}_X(A)\subseteq\operatorname{int}_X(B).
