On forms of continuity and cliquishness (Q1329613): Difference between revisions

Recall that a subset \(B\) of a space \(X\) is said to be semi-open (resp. \(\alpha\)-set, pre-open, pre-semi-open) if \(B\subset \text{Cl(Int} (B))\), (resp. \(B\subset \text{Int(Cl(Int} (B)))\), \(B\subset \text{Int(Cl} (B))\), \(B\subset \text{Cl(Int(Cl} (B))))\). Semi-closure (resp. pre-closure, pre- semi-closure) can be defined in a similar manner. One can also start from the \(\Theta\)-closure. Using these various families of sets the author obtains more than 30 types of ``generalized closure operators'' (!), see p. 420. Most of them appear here for the first time. He later employs these findings to the functions \(f: (X,{\mathcal T})\to (Y,{\mathcal T}^ 1)\) with the help of collections \({\mathcal C}\subset {\mathcal P} ({\mathcal P}(Y))\) of families such that the condition \(K\subset A\in \ddot A\) implies \(K\in \ddot A\) for each \(\ddot A\in{\mathcal C}\) and \(K\subset Y\). In the paper under review, the relations between these various strong or weak forms of continuity are studied. The article is well-written and contains a few interesting examples.
