Pasting lemma for closed subspaces
ID: pasting-lemma-for-closed-subspaces
If a topological space is the union of finitely many closed subspaces and continuous maps on those subspaces agree on every overlap, they combine into a continuous map on the whole space. For a closed set in the target, its preimage is a finite union of closed sets, proving continuity.
