Abstract

The concept of continuity in topological spaces has a very important place. For this reason, a great deal of work has been done on continuity, and many generalizations of continuity have been obtained. In this work, we seek to find a new approach to the study of soft continuity in soft topological spaces in connection with an induced mapping based on soft sets. By defining the *-image of a soft set, we define an induced soft mapping and present its related properties. To elaborate on the obtained results and relationships, we furnish a number of illustrative examples. Full article

This paper contributes to the field of supra-soft topology. We introduce and investigate supra

-spaces

(j = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)

. These are defined in terms of different ordinary points; they rely on partial belong and partial non-belong relations in the first type, and partial belong and total non-belong relations in the second type. With the assistance of examples, we reveal the relationships among them as well as their relationships with classes of supra-soft topological spaces such as supra

. This work also investigates both the connections among these spaces and their relationships with the supra topological spaces that they induce. Some connections are shown with the aid of examples. In this regard, we prove that for

We also demonstrate how these spaces behave as compared to their counterparts studied in soft topology and its generalizations (such as infra-soft topologies and weak soft topologies). Moreover, we investigated whether subspaces, finite product spaces, and soft

Soft r g ω -closed sets are introduced as a new class of soft sets that strictly contain the classes of soft r g -closed sets and soft g ω -closed sets. Furthermore, the behavior of soft r g ω -closed sets with respect to soft unions, soft intersections, and soft subspaces, as well as induced soft topologies are investigated. Moreover, soft ω - T_{1 / 2} spaces which is a weaker form soft T_{1 / 2} spaces is defined and investigated. In addition to these, the characterizations of soft r g - T_{1 / 2} spaces and soft r g ω - T_{1 / 2} spaces are discussed. The work also looks at the relationship between our novel notions in soft topological spaces and their analogs in topological spaces.

In this paper, we define a soft generalized ω -closed set, which is a generalization of both the soft ω -closed set and the soft generalized closed set. We show that the classes of generalized closed sets and generalized ω -closed sets coincide in soft anti-locally countable soft topological spaces. Additionally, in soft locally countable soft topological spaces, we show that every soft set is a soft generalized ω -closed set. Furthermore, we prove that the classes of soft generalized closed sets and soft generalized ω -closed sets coincide in the soft topological space (X, τ_{ω}, A) . In addition to these, we determine the behavior of soft generalized ω -closed sets relative to soft unions, soft intersections, soft subspaces, and generated soft topologies. Furthermore, we investigate soft images and soft inverse images of soft generalized closed sets and soft generalized ω -closed sets under soft continuous, soft closed soft transformations. Finally, we continue the study of soft T_{1 / 2} spaces, in which we obtain two characterizations of these soft spaces, and investigate their behavior with respect to soft subspaces, soft transformations, and generated soft topologies.

The author devotes this paper to defining a new class of soft open sets, namely soft R ω -open sets, and investigating their main features. With the help of examples, we show that the class of soft R ω -open sets lies strictly between the classes of soft regular open sets and soft open sets. We show that soft R ω -open subsets of a soft locally countable soft topological space coincide with the soft open sets. Moreover, we show that soft R ω -open subsets of a soft anti-locally countable coincide with the soft regular open sets. Moreover, we show that the class of soft R ω -open sets is closed under finite soft intersection, and as a conclusion, we show that this class forms a soft base for some soft topology. In addition, we define the soft δ_{ω} -closure operator as a new operator in soft topological spaces. Moreover, via the soft δ_{ω} -closure operator, we introduce soft δ_{ω} -open sets as a new class of soft open sets which form a soft topology. Moreover, we study the correspondence between soft δ_{ω} -open in soft topological spaces and δ_{ω} -open in topological spaces.

In this paper, we define the class of soft ω^{0} -open sets. We show that this class forms a soft topology that is strictly between the classes of soft open sets and soft ω -open sets, and we provide some sufficient conditions for the equality of the three classes. In addition, we show that soft closed soft ω -open sets are soft ω^{0} -open sets in soft Lindelof soft topological spaces. Moreover, we study the correspondence between soft ω^{0} -open sets in soft topological spaces and ω^{0} -open sets in topological spaces. Furthermore, we investigate the relationships between the soft α -open sets (respectively, soft regular open sets, soft β -open sets) of a given soft anti-locally countable soft topological space and the soft α -open sets (respectively, soft regular open sets, soft β -open sets) of the soft topological space of soft ω^{0} -open sets generated by it. Finally, we introduce ω^{0} -regularity in topological spaces via ω^{0} -open sets, which is strictly between regularity and ω -regularity, and we also introduce soft ω^{0} -regularity in soft topological spaces via soft ω^{0} -open sets, which is strictly between soft regularity and soft ω -regularity. We investigate relationships regarding ω^{0} -regularity and soft ω^{0} -regularity. Moreover, we study the correspondence between soft ω^{0} -regularity in soft topological spaces and ω^{0} -regularity in topological spaces.

In this paper, we introduce the class of soft semi ω -open sets of a soft topological space (X, τ, A), using soft ω -open sets. We show that the class of soft semi ω -open sets contains both the soft topology τ_{ω} and the class of soft semi-open sets. Additionally, we define soft semi ω -closed sets as the class of soft complements of soft semi ω -open sets. We present here a study of the properties of soft semi ω -open sets, especially in (X, τ, A) and (X, τ_{ω}, A) . In particular, we prove that the class of soft semi ω -open sets is closed under arbitrary soft union but not closed under finite soft intersections; we also study the correspondence between the soft topology of soft semi ω -open sets of a soft topological space and their generated topological spaces and vice versa. In addition to these, we introduce the soft semi ω -interior and soft semi ω -closure operators via soft semi ω -open and soft semi ω -closed sets. We prove several equations regarding these two new soft operators. In particular, we prove that these operators can be calculated using other usual soft operators in both of (X, τ, A) and (X, τ_{ω}, A), and some equations focus on soft anti-locally countable soft topological spaces.

We define soft ω_{p} -openness as a strong form of soft pre-openness. We prove that the class of soft ω_{p} -open sets is closed under soft union and do not form a soft topology, in general. We prove that soft ω_{p} -open sets which are countable are soft open sets, and we prove that soft pre-open sets which are soft ω -open sets are soft ω_{p} -open sets. In addition, we give a decomposition of soft ω_{p} -open sets in terms of soft open sets and soft ω -dense sets. Moreover, we study the correspondence between the soft topology soft ω_{p} -open sets in a soft topological space and its generated topological spaces, and vice versa. In addition to these, we define soft ω_{p} -continuous functions as a new class of soft mappings which lies strictly between the classes of soft continuous functions and soft pre-continuous functions. We introduce several characterizations for soft pre-continuity and soft ω_{p} -continuity. Finally, we study several relationships related to soft ω_{p} -continuity.

Soft ω -local indiscreetness as a weaker form of both soft local countability and soft local indiscreetness is introduced. Then soft ω -regularity as a weaker form of both soft regularity and soft ω -local indiscreetness is defined and investigated. Additionally, soft ω - T_{2} as a new soft topological property that lies strictly between soft T_{2} and soft T_{1} is defined and investigated. It is proved that soft anti-local countability is a sufficient condition for equivalence between soft ω -locally indiscreetness (resp. soft ω -regularity) and soft locally indiscreetness (resp. soft ω -regularity). Additionally, it is proved that the induced topological spaces of a soft ω -locally indiscrete (resp. soft ω -regular, soft ω - T_{2}) soft topological space are (resp. ω -regular, ω - T_{2}) topological spaces. Additionally, it is proved that the generated soft topological space of a family of ω -locally indiscrete (resp. ω -regular, ω - T_{2}) topological spaces is soft ω -locally indiscrete and vice versa. In addition to these, soft product theorems regarding soft ω -regular and soft ω - T_{2} soft topological spaces are obtained. Moreover, it is proved that soft ω -regular and soft ω - T_{2} are hereditarily under soft subspaces.
