On s-closed spaces

It is shown that the following three notions are equivalent for a set A in a topological space X: (1) A is both semi-closed and semi-regular, where a set A is called semi-open if there is an open set U such that \(U\subset A\subset cl(U)\), semi-closed if its complement is semi-open, and semi-regular if it is both semi-open and semi-closed [see \textit{N. Levine}, Am. Math. Mon. 70, 36-41 (1963; Zbl 0113.163)], (2) A is a regular semi-open set, i.e., there is a regular open set \(U\subset X\) such that \(U\subset A\subset cl(U)\) [see \textit{D. E. Cameron}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 72, 581-586 (1978; Zbl 0408.54018)], (3) A is a semi-regular open set in the sense of G. Di Maio (preprint). The authors define a space to be s-closed if every cover of X by semi-open sets admits a finite subfamily whose semi-closures cover X, where the semi-closure of a set A is defined to be the intersection of all semi-closed sets containing A. It is shown that the following three properties are equivalent: (1) X is s-closed, (2) X is cd-compact in the sense of \textit{D. Carnahan} [Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Arkansas, 1973], i.e., every cover by semi-regular sets has a finite subcover, and (3) X is weakly RS-compact in the sense of \textit{W. C. Hong} [J. Korean Math. Soc. 17, 39-43 (1980; Zbl 0446.54023)], i.e., every cover of X by regular semi-open sets has a finite subcover.
