Abstract

In 1980 T . Noiri introduce δ – sets to define a new class of functions called δ–continuous and in 1996 Dontchev and Ganster introduce and studied a new class of sets called δ–generalized closed and in 2000 Dontchev and others introduce – closed sets. In this paper we use these sets to define and study a new type of functions called contra –continuous as a new type of contra continuous the functions contra δ–continuous is stronger than contra continuous function , contra – continuous functions and weaker than Rc–continuous and each one of them are independent with - continuous functions.

Preservation theorems of this functions are investigated also several properties concerning this functions are obtain . The relationships between the δ –closed set with the other sets that have so important to get many results are investigated . finally we study the relationships between this functions with the other functions .

1. Introduction

In 1996, Dontchev introduce a new class of functions called contra – continuous functions, in 1999 Jafari and Noiri introduce and studied a new functions called contra super – continuous, and in 2001 they present and study a new functions called contra - continuous .

In this paper we introduce the notion of contra - continuous, where contra δ–continuous functions is stronger than both contra–continuous and contra - continuous. We astablish several properties of such functions . especially basic properties and preservation theorems of these functions are investigated . moreover , we investigate the relationships between δ–closed sets and other sets also the relation ships between these functions with the other functions .

2. Preliminaries

Through the present note and (or simply and ) always topological spaces .

A subset of a space is said to be regular open (resp. regular closed , δ – open, - closed, clopen, - closed) if (resp. , where is [Noiri,1980] regular open , if whenever and is open [Dontchev,2000] , open and closed , if whenever and is δ – open [Dontchev,2000] . Apoint is said to be δ – cluster point of aset if , for every regular open set containing . The set of all δ – cluster points of is called δ – closure of and denoted by . if , then is called δ – closed [Noiri,1980 ], or equivalently is called δ– closed if , where is regular closed

The collection of all δ – closed ( resp . δ – open , - closed , - clopen , - closed , regular closed ) sets will denoted by ( resp . , , , , ) also the complement of δ – open ( resp . - closed , - closed , regular closed ) sets is called δ – closed ( resp . - open , - open , regular open ) .

Its worth to be noticed that the family of all δ – open subsets of a space is a topology on which is denoted by - space and some time is called semi – regularization of . As a consequence of definitions we have .

finally anon – empty topological space is called hyper connected or irreducible [Dontchev,2000 ] if every non – empty open subset of is dense .

3. Properties of - Closed Sets

proposition 3.1

Let be a subset of aspace :

1- If is regular open , then is open .

2- If is δ – closed , then is closed .

Proof :-

1- Is clearly

2- Let be a δ – closed set , is δ – open

, since is regular so by part ( 1 ) , is open and countable unions of open sets are open , is open , so , is closed .

Remark 3.2

The converse of Proposition (3.1) is not true in general . To see this we give the following example .

Example 3.3

Let and be a topology defined on .

Let , is closed set but not δ – closed .

Since not δ – open .

Also , is open but not regular open .

Proposition 3.4

Let be a subset of a space .

1- If is regular open , then is δ – open .

2- If is δ – closed , then is - closed .

3- If is closed , then is - closed .

4- If is - closed , then is - closed .

Proof :-

1- Let be a regular open set , is δ – open

2- Let , is δ – closed , so

, so , therefore for every , is regular open and , , this means that , for every regular open in and since is δ – closed so by lemma ( 3.1 ) part ( 2 ) .

is closed so . and is δ – open by part ( 1 ) thus , then , for every δ – openset .

Therefore is - closed .

3- Let , is closed , let , then , , , , this means that , and is open , also since is closed , , thus , when and is open .

Therefore is - closed .

4- Let be a - closed set , so , where is open and , by part (2) from lemma ( 3.1 ) there exist δ – open set , such that and , so , Thus , when , is δ – open in .

Therefort is - closed .

Remark 3.5

The converse of lemma ( 3.4 ) is not true in general , to see this,we give the following counter example .

Examples 3.6

1- Let and be a topology defined on .

2- Let and be a topology defined on .

Let is - closed but not - closed .

Lemma 3.7 [Dontchev,2000 ]

Let be a topological space , and be alocally finite family , :

Proposition 3.8

Let be a topological space , and be alocally finite family , :

If is - closed set , , then is also - closed .

Proof :-

Let is δ – closed set , , is δ – closed this means that , , so , since by lemma 3.1 part ( 2 ) is closed so . Thus so , therefort is δ – closed .

Proposition 3.9

The following properties are equivalent for a subset of a space :

1- is clopen .

2- is regular open and regular closed .

3- is δ – open and δ – closed .

4- is δ – open and - closed .

Proof :-

1 → 2 : clearly since is open and closed .

2 → 3 : by proposition ( 3.4 ) part ( 1 ) .

3 → 4 : by proposition( 3.4 ) part ( 2 ) .

4 → 3 : is δ – open from part ( 4 ) , let is - closed set so , when and is δ – open by proposition ( 3.4 ) ( 1 ) , there exist , is regular open such that , since when , is regular open in .

Thus , when , is regular open , therefore is δ – closed .

3 → 2 and 2 → 1 : clearly by proposition ( 3.1 )

So

Also so

Therefore

To prove that , let and , let , so

, since , , therefore

and .

, this means that for every , and so and also , this means that for every open in and , , so and , by proposition ( 3.1 ) ( 1 ) , so and , so . Thus

by proposition ( 3.4 ) ( 1 ) , therefore , when ever . Thus .

proposition 3.13

To prove that

Let , , let , where . Then . Since is - closed relative to .

We have , so .

Since , it follows that , since then .

But . Therefore which implies that , . Thus .

To prove that suppose that so and

, thereforte

4. Continuity of contra - continuous functions

Definition 4.1

A function is called :

1- contra δ – cont . ( resp . contra - cont . ) at a point , if for each open subset in containing , there exists a δ – closed ( resp . - closed ) subset in containing such that .

2- contra δ – cont . ( resp . contra - cont . ) if it have this property at each point of .

Example 4.2

Let , and are topological spaces defined on and respectively , let be the Identity function .

Note that is contra - continuous functions .

1- is contra δ – cont . ( resp . contra - cont . ) .

2- for every open set of , ( resp . ).

3- for every closed of , ( resp . ) .

Proof :-

1 → 2 : Let be an open subset of , and let , since , there exists ( resp . containing such that . We obtain that by lemma ( 3.7) is δ – closed ( resp . , - closed ) in .

2 → 3 : Let be a closed subset of . Then is open , by part ( 2 ) , is δ – closed ( resp . - closed ) , thus is δ – open ( resp . - open ) in

3 → 1 : Let be a closed subset of containing , from part ( 3 ) , is δ – open ( resp . - open ) , take . Then . Therefore is contra δ – cont . ( resp . contra - cont . ) .

Proposition 4.4

Proof :-

To prove that is contra – cont .

Let be aclosed in . , since is contra – cont . , . By proposition (3.12) , thus is contra – cont .

Remark 4.5
