Regular languages are closed under complement, union, intersection, concatenation, Kleene star, reversal, homomorphism, and substitution.
Closure properties on regular languages are defined as certain operations on regular language that are guaranteed to produce regular language. Closure refers to some operation on a language, resulting in a new language that is of the same “type” as originally operated on i.e., regular.
Closure property states that any operation conducted on elements within a set gives a result which is within the same set of elements. Integers are either positive, negative or zero. They are whole and not fractional. Integers are closed under addition.
The closure properties of a regular language include union, concatenation, intersection, Kleene, complement , reverse and many more operations.

A closure property of a language class says that given languages in the class, an operator (e.g., union) produces another language in the same class. Example: the regular languages are obviously closed under union, concatenation, and (Kleene) closure.
Regular Languages are closed under intersection, i.e., if L1 and L2 are regular then L1 ∩ L2 is also regular. L1 and L2 are regular • L1 ∪ L2 is regular • Hence, L1 ∩ L2 = L1 ∪ L2 is regular.
Closure Properties of Regular Languages Given a set, a closure property of the set is an operation that when applied to members of the set always returns as its answer a member of that set. For example, the set of integers is closed under addition.
Closure under Union For any regular languages L and M, then L ∪ M is regular. Proof: Since L and M are regular, they have regular expressions, say: Let L = L(E) and M = L(F). Then L ∪ M = L(E + F) by the definition of the + operator.
