Find the closure , Frontier and boundary of the following set in $ mathbb{R}^2$ given by
$$ S={(0,1) cup (2,0) } cup {(x,y): |x|+|y|< 1 }$$
Answer:
The closure is given by
$Cl (A) ={(0,1) cup (2,0) } cup {(x,y): |x|+|y| leq 1 }$
But I thing the closure can be
$ {(x,y):|x|+|y| leq 1 } cup {(0,2) }$ , because $ (0,1) in {(x,y):|x|+|y| leq 1 }$.
Am I right?
Also help me with the frontier and boundary of the set.

You're definitely right when it comes to the closure. As far as the bondary/frontier goes, how do you distinguish between them? I'm under the impression that they're the same thing.

@AlkaKadri, No there is a small difference between frontier of a set and boundary set as we can see from the example- "The frontier set of a closed unit ball is the empty set while the boundary of the unit closed ball is the unit circle". That is, frontier set does not include the boundary

Okay, thanks for clarifying. Note that most people use 'frontier' and 'boundary' interchangeably, but I assume you're using frontier to mean the set of boundary points not included in the set itself? i.e., $partial S setminus S$?

It's important to look at your definitions. Write down the definition of the exterior of a set. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_(topology), it's just the complement of the closure (which you've already obtained), but depending on what definition you're using there may be some more steps you have to show.

Your notation for $S$ is weird: you cannot take a union of two points. You mean ${(0,1)} cup {(2,0)} = {(0,1),(2,0)}$ probably.

The frontier of $S$ is (probably, your example fits it, and it is a usage that occurs) $operatorname{Cl}{S}setminus S$ (all points in the closure that were not in the original set) so in this case $$operatorname{Fr}(S) = {(x,y): |x| + |y| =1}setminus {(0,1)}$$
clearly:
$$operatorname{Int}(S) = {(x,y): |x| + |y| < 1}$$
So $$operatorname{Bd}(S) =operatorname{Cl}(S) setminus operatorname{Int}(S) = {(2,0)} cup {(x,y): |x| + |y| = 1 }$$
So all these sets can be computed/determined one we know the closure and the interior.
