Abstract
In this paper we study and develop the Neutrosophic Triplet Topology (NTT) that was recently introduced by Sahin et al. Like classical topology, the NTT tells how the elements of a set relate spatially to each other in a more comprehensive way using the idea of Neutrosophic Triplet Sets. This article is important because it opens new ways of research resulting in many applications in different disciplines, such as Biology, Computer Science, Physics, Robotics, Games and Puzzles and Fiber Art etc. Herein we study the application of NTT in Biology. The Neutrosophic Triplet Set (NTS) has a natural symmetric form, since this is a set of symmetric triplets of the form <A>, <anti(A)>, where <A> and <anti(A)> are opposites of each other, while <neuti(A)>, being in the middle, is their axis of symmetry. Further on, we obtain in this paper several properties of NTT, like bases, closure and subspace. As an application, we give a multicriteria decision making for the combining effects of certain enzymes on chosen DNA using the developed theory of NTT.
1. Introduction
The main aim of the paper is to introduce the Neutrosophic Triplet Topology (NTT) in various fields of research, due to its great potential of applicability. However, in order to do so, we first study its theoretical properties, such as open and closed sets, base and subspace, all extended from classical topology and neutrosophic topology to (NTT). In daily life we are witnessing many situations in which the role of neutralities is very important. To control neutralities Smarandache initiated the theme of neutrosophic logic in 1995, which later on proved to be a very handy tool to capture uncertainty. Thus Smarandache [], generalizes almost all the existing logics like, fuzzy logic, intutionistic fuzzy logic etc. After this many reserchers used neutrosophic sets and logic in algebra, such as Kandasamy et al. [,,], Agboola et al. [,,,], Ali et al. [,,,], Gulistan et al. [,,]. More recently Smarandache et al. [,] introduced the idea of NT group which open a new research direction. Zhang et al. [], Bal et al. [], Jaiyeola el al. [], Gulistan et al. [] used NT set in different directions.
On the other hand Munkres [], studied topology in detail. Chang [] gave the concept of fuzzy topology in 1968. After this further study at fuzzy topology has been done by Thivagar [], Lowen [], Sarkar [] and Palaniappan [], Onasanya et al. [], Shumrani et al. []. Sahin et al. [] presented the fresh idea of NTT.
Thus in this aricle, we further extended the theory of NT topology. We study some basic properties of NTT where we introduce NT base, NT closure and NT subspace and investigate these topological notions. Moreover, as an application, we give a multicriteria decision making for the combining effects of certain enzymes on chosen DNA.

Remark 1.
The pair (, ) is called a NT topological space. The elements of which are subsets of are called NT open sets of NT topological space (,).
Example 1.

Remark 2.
The NT closed sets of a NT topological space (, has the following properties,
- ∅, are NT closed.

Definition 5.
Two NT topologies and of the NT set are said to be comparable if ⊂ or ⊂ . Further and are said to be equal if ⊂ and ⊂ . If ⊂ holds, then we say that is finer than and is coarser than .
Example 6.
Let be a NT set having more than one element as a triplet element then any topology on is finer than the NT indiscrete topology on and coarser than the NT discrete topology on .
The intersection of two NT topologies is always a NTT while the union of two NT topologies is not in general a NTT as shown in the following example.
Example 7.

4. Neutrosophic Triplet Bases of Neutrosophic Triplet Topology (NTT)
In this section, we define and study bases of a NTT for generating NT topologies.
Definition 6.
Let (, be a NT topological space. A family is called a NT basis (or NT base) for if each NT open subset of is the union of members of . The members of are called basis open sets of the topology
Example 10.

Theorem 2.
A family of NT subsets of a neutrosophic triplet set(NTS) is a NT bases for some NTT on if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
- (1)
- Each in is contained in somei.e.,

- For any , belonging to the intersectionis a union of members of Equivalently, for eachthere exist asuch that
Proof.
Suppose that a family of a NT subsets of NT set is a NT basis for some NTT on . Since (is open), then by definition of NT basis, can be written as union of members of Now let be members of . Then are NT sets and so is By Theorem 1, for each

Definition 7.

Equivalently, NT closure of is the smallest NT closed super set of . Neutrosophic triplet closure of is denoted by or .

6. Neutrosophic Triplet Subspace
In this section, we define the NT subspace.
Definition 8.

T, is in Hence
Thus, belongs to Hence arbitrary union of members of is also in
T: and belong to since
and
Hence, is a NTT on

Let be as in Example 4 with the NTT
and
Taking intersection of each member of τ with Then
7. Applications
In Mathematics, topology is concerned with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling and bending, but not tearing or gluing. Like topology, the NTT tells how elements of a set relate spatially to each other in a more comprehensive way using the idea of Neutrosophic triplet sets. It has many application in different disciplines, Biology, Computer science, Physics, Robotics, Games and Puzzles and Fiber art etc. Here we study the application of NTT in Biology.
Suppose that we have a certain type of DNA and we are going to discuss the combine effects of certain enzymes like, on chosen DNA using the idea of NT sets. These enzymes cut, twist, and reconnect the DNA, causing knotting with observable effects. Assume the set and assume that their mutual effect on each other is shown in the following table
| * | |||
Then and are neutrosophic triplets of . Here means that the enzymes play the role of anti and neut of each other, means that the enzyme has no neut and anti and are anti and neut of each other in different situations. Let be the set of triplets of . Then
Here discuss the all possible outcomes of anti and neut. Consider the following two subsets of . and . Then and are NT topologies and stand for the combination of enzymes that effect the DNA. While is not NTT and stands for the combination of enzymes that does not effect the DNA as union of does not belongs to . As and neutrosophic triplet topologies so and is again a neutrosophic triplets topology which effects the DNA. The NTT ∅ stands for the combination of enzymes where we can not have any answer while neutrosophic triplet topology stands for the strongest case of combination of enzymes which effects the DNA. Now if we want more insight of this problem we may use other concepts like, NT neighborhoods etc.
On the other hand Leonhard Euler demonstrated problem that it was impossible to find a route through the town that would cross each of its seven bridges exactly once. This problem leads us towards the NT graph theory using the concept of NTT as the route does not depend upon the any physical scenario, but it depends upon the spatially connectivity between the bridges.
Similarly to classify the letters correctly and the hairy ball theorem of algebraic topology can be discussed in a more practical way using the concept of NTT.
8. Conclusions
In this article, we used the idea of NTT and introduced some of their properties, such as NT base, NT closure and NT subspace. At the end we discuss an application of multicriteria decision making problem with the help of NTT.
