alternative characterizations of Noetherian topological spaces
Let be a topological space. The following conditions are equivalent
conditions for to be a Noetherian topological space:
- 1.
satisfies the descending chain condition
(http://planetmath.org/DescendingChainCondition) for closed subsets.
- 2.
satisfies the ascending chain condition
(http://planetmath.org/AscendingChainCondition) for open subsets.
- 3.
Every nonempty family of closed subsets has a minimal element.
- 4.
Every nonempty family of open subsets has a maximal element.
- 5.
Every subset of is compact
