Reason: First published version: the boundary of a subset of a topological space as the closure minus the interior.

Statement

Let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space, and let AXA\subseteq X. The boundary of AA in XX is the subset

XA=clX(A)intX(A)\partial_X A=\operatorname{cl}_X(A)\setminus\operatorname{int}_X(A)

of XX, where clX(A)\operatorname{cl}_X(A) is the closure of AA in XX and intX(A)\operatorname{int}_X(A) is the interior of AA in XX. Its elements are called the boundary points of AA in XX. When the ambient space XX is clear from context, the boundary of AA in XX is also written A\partial A.
