A note on weakly quasi continuous functions (Q5903950)

Summary: \textit{V. Popa} and \textit{C. Stan} [Stud. Cercet Mat. 25, 41-43 (1973; Zbl 0255.54008)] have shown that a function f: \(X\to Y\) is weakly quasi continuous if and only if \(f^{-1}(Cl(V))\subset Cl(Int(f^{- 1}(Cl(V))))\) for every open set V of Y. By utilizing this result, the present author [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 10, 483-490 (1987; Zbl 0638.54012)] showed that a function f: \(X\to Y\) is weakly quasi continuous if and only if for every regular closed set F of Y, \(f^{-1}(F)\) is semi-open in X. In this note, the author shows that these results are false and corrects the proofs of Theorem 6.1.7 and Lemma 6.4.4 of the second cited paper.
