Abstract
Some properties of minimal closed sets and maximal closed sets are
obtained, which are dual concepts of maximal open sets and minimal open sets, respectively. Common properties of minimal closed sets and minimal open sets are
clarified; similarly, common properties of maximal closed sets and maximal
open sets are obtained. Moreover, interrelations of these four concepts are
studied.
