On \(S\)-closed spaces (Q1187238)

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be topological spaces, and let \(S\) be a subset of \(X\). The closure of \(S\) is denoted by \(\text{cl} (S)\), and the interior of \(S\) is denoted by \(\text{int} (S)\). Definitions. A set \(S\) is regular open if \(S = \text{int(cl} (S))\). The complement of a regular open set is regular closed. A set \(S\) is semiopen if \(S \subset \text{cl(int} (S))\). The complement of a semiopen set is semiclosed. A function \(f : X \to Y\) is semiclosed if the image of each closed set of \(X\) is semiclosed in \(Y\). A function \(f : X \to Y\) is weakly semiclosed if the image of every regular closed set in \(X\) is semiclosed in \(Y\). Every semiclosed function is weakly semiclosed, but the converse is not true. In the paper, the authors present three theorems pertaining to weakly semiclosed functions.
