Starting Context
- The reader knows a definition of closure of subset of topological space.
- The reader knows a definition of subspace topology of subset of topological space.
- The reader knows a definition of closed subset of topological space.
Target Context

1: Structured Description
Here is the rules of Structured Description.
Entities:
\(T'\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological subspaces of } T'\}\)
\(S\): \(\subseteq T\)
//
Statements:
\(\overline{S}^{T} \in \{\text{ the closed subsets of } T'\}\), where \(\overline{S}^{T}\) denotes the closure of \(S\) on \(T\)
\(\implies\)
\(\overline{S}^{T} = \overline{S}^{T'}\), where \(\overline{S}^{T'}\) denotes the closure of \(S\) on \(T'\)
//
2: Proof
Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(\overline{S}^{T'} \subseteq \overline{S}^{T}\); Step 2: see that \(\overline{S}^{T} \subseteq \overline{S}^{T'}\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.
Step 1:
\(\overline{S}^{T'} \subseteq \overline{S}^{T}\), because \(\overline{S}^{T'}\) is the smallest closed subset of \(T'\) that (the closed subset) contains \(S\) while \(\overline{S}^{T}\) is a closed subset of \(T'\) that (the closed subset) contains \(S\), by the supposition.
Step 2:
\(S \subseteq \overline{S}^{T'} \cap T\), which is closed on \(T\), so, \(\overline{S}^{T} \subseteq \overline{S}^{T'} \cap T\), because \(\overline{S}^{T}\) is the smallest closed subset of \(T\) that (the closed subset) contains \(S\) while \(\overline{S}^{T'} \cap T\) is a closed subset of \(T\) that (the closed subset) contains \(S\), so, \(\overline{S}^{T} \subseteq \overline{S}^{T'}\).
Step 3:
So, \(\overline{S}^{T} = \overline{S}^{T'}\).
