In this paper we introduce and study the concept of S s -open sets .also, a study new class of functions called S S continuous functions, the relationships between S s -continuity and other types of continuity are investigated.
Keywords: S s -open set, S s -continuous function, semi-open set, semi-continuous functions.
IntroductionIn 1963, Levine [16], introduced the concept of semi-open set and semi continuity and gave several properties about these functions. Njastad [18] introduced the concepts of α-sets and Abd-El-Monsef et al [1] defined β-open sets and β-continuous functions. Khalaf and Ameen in [14]
PreliminariesIn this section, we recall the following definitions and results:Lemma 2.2 Let A be a subset of a space X, then the following properties hold. Lemma 2.7 The following properties hold:
semi-regular [11], if for each x ∈ X and each H ∈ SO(X) containing x, there exists1. If a space X is semi-regular, then each SO(X) = SθO(X).
If a space X is semi-regular, then sCl(
Proof. It is clear that each semi-θ-open is semi-open. If X is semi-regular space and if G is a non-empty semi-open set in X, the by Definition 2.5, there exists a semi-open set U such that x ∈ U ⊆ sCl(U ) ⊆ G, this implies that G is semi-θ-open. Therefore, SO(X) = SθO(X). Part (2). Follows from part (1).
Definition 2.8 A space X is locally indiscrete [9], if every open set is closed.
Lemma 2.9 [9] A space X is locally indiscrete if and only if every semi open set in X is closed.
Definition 2.10 [19] A function f : X → Y is said to be strongly θ-semi-continuous at a point x ∈ X, if for each open set V containing f (x), there exists a semi-open set U containingProof. Follows from the fact that in a semi-T 1 space, every singleton set is semi-closed (Lemma 2.6).Remark 3.
