3 .* -continuous , continuous ,* -continuous, * -irresolute , irresolute ,
*-irresolute functions
We introduce the following definitions.
Definition 3.1 :A function f: (X,) (Y,) is said to be a *- continuous map if
f 1(V) is a *- closed subset of (X,) for every closed set V of (Y,).
Definition 3.2 : A function f : (X,) (Y,) is said be a -continuous map if
f 1(V) is a - closed subset of (X,) for every closed set V of (Y,).
Definition 3.3 : A function f : (X,) (Y,) is said to be a * -continuous map if
f 1(V) is a *-closed subset of (X,) for every closed set V of (Y,).
Definition 3.4 : A function f: (X,) (Y,) is said to be a *-irresolute map if

Definition 3.5 : A function f: (X,) (Y,) is said to be a -irresolute map if

Definition 3 .6: A function f : (X,) (Y,) is said to be a *-irresolute map if
f 1(V) is a -closed subset of (X,) for every * -closed set V of (Y,).
Theorem 3.7 : Every continuous map is - continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be continuous. Let V be a closed subset of (Y,). Since

f is continuous ,f- 1 (V) is closed in (X,). But every closed set is - closed. f- 1 (V)
is - closed. Hence f is - continuous.
Remark 3.8 :The converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Example 3.9 : Let X = Y= {a,b,c} , = , X, {a,b} and = , Y , {a},{a,b}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f(a) = a ; f(b) = b ; f(c) = c.
f 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} ; f - 1 ({c}) = {c} are -closed in (X,).
Butf - 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} is not closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous but not
continuous.
Theorem 3.10 : Every continuous function is -continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y, ) be continuous . Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).Since
f is continuous , f- 1 (V) is closed in (X,). But every closed set is -closed set.
Therefore f- 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Hence f is -continuous.
Remark 3 .11 : The converse of the above theorem need not be true and is shown in the
following example.
Example 3.12 :Let X = Y= {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a,c} and = ,Y,{a}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f(a) = a ; f(b) = b ; f(c) = c
f 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} are -closed in (X,). Butf - 1 ({ b,c}) = {b,c} is not closed in
(X,).Therefore f is -continuous but not continuous.
Theorem 3.13 : Every continuous function is *-continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be continuous. Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).Since
f is continuous ,f- 1 (V) is closed in (X,).But every closed set is* -closed .Therefore f 1
(V) is *- closed in (X,).Hence f is *-continuous.
Remark 3.14 : The following example supports that the converse of the above.

Volume 5 No. 3, April 2015

Example 3.15 : Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , =,X,{a,b} and =,Y {a},{a,b}


Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f(a) = a ; f(b) = b ; f(c) = c.
f 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} ; f - 1({c}) = {c} are *-closed in (X,). But f - 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} is
not closed in (X,). Therefore f is *-continuous but not continuous.
Theorem 3.16 : Every *-irresolute map is *-continuous.
Proof: Let f: (X,) (Y,) be - irresolute.Let V be a closed subset of (Y,). Since
every closed set is - closed ,V is -closed in (Y,).Since f is - irresolute ,f- 1
(V) is - closed in (X,). Hence for every closed set V in (Y,) , f- 1 (V) is closed in (X,).Hence f is - continuous.
Remark 3.17 : The converse of the above theorem need not be true as seen in the
following example.
Example 3.18 : Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a},{a,b} and = ,Y,{a,b}.
Letf: (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c .
f 1 ({c}) = {c} is closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous.
But f- 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is not -closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous but not
-irresolute.
Theorem 3.19 : Every-irresolute map is -continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be - irresolute.Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).Since
every closed set is - closed, V is - closed in (Y,).Since f is - irresolute,f - 1 (V)
is - closed in (X,).Hence for every closed set V in (Y,) ,
f- 1 (V) is - closed in (X,). Hence f is - continuous.
Remark 3.20: Converse of the above theorem need not be true and is shown below.
Example 3.21 : Let X = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a},{a,b} and = ,Y,{a,b}.

Volume 5 No. 3, April 2015

Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f(a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c.


f 1 ({c}) = {c} is_ closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous.
But f- 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is not -closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous but not
-irresolute.
Theorem 3.22 :Every -irresolute map is -continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be *- irresolute. Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).
Since every closed set is - closed, V is *- closed in (Y,).Since f is irresolute ,f- 1 (V) is *-closed in (X,). Hence for every closed set V in

(Y,) ,

f - 1 (V) is *- closed in (X,).Hence f is - continuous.


Remark 3 .23 : Converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Example 3.24 : Let X = Y= {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a,c} and =,Y,{a}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c
f 1 ({b,c}) = {b,c} is*- closed in (X,).Therefore f is *-continuous.
Butf- 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is not *-closed in (X,).Therefore f is *-continuous but
not*-irresolute.
Theorem 3.25 :Every -irresolute map is *-continuous.
Proof: Let f: (X,) (Y,) be - irresolute .Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).Since
every closed set is closed , V is- closed in (Y,).Since f is- irresolute ,f - 1 (V)
is -closed in (X,).Hence for every closed set V in (Y,) ,
f- 1 (V) is *- closed in (X,).Hence f is *- continuous.
Remark 3.26 :Converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Example 3.27 :X = Y = {a,b,c} , = , X, a , {a, b} and = ,Y,{a,b}.

Let f: (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c .


f 1 ({c}) = {c} is *- closed in (X,).Therefore fis *-continuous.
But f- 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is not -closed in (X,).Thereforef is *-continuous but not
-irresolute.
Theorem 3.28 : Every g*s- continuous map is *- continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be g*s - continuous. Let V be a closed subset of
(Y,).Since f is g*s - continuous , f - 1 (V) is g*s - closed in (X,).But every g*s closed set is *-closed. f 1 (V) is*-closed in (X,).Hence f is *- continuous.
Remark 3.29 : Converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Eample 3.30 :Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a,}{b,c}, and = ,Y,{c}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c .
f 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is *- closed in (X,).Therefore fis *-continuous.
But f

-1

({a,b}) = {a,b} is not g*s closed in (X,). Therefore f is *-continuous but

not g*s -continuous.


Theorem 3.31 : Every - continuous map is *- continuous.
Proof: Let f: (X,) (Y,) be - continuous.Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).Since
f is - continuous , f- 1 (V) is - closed in (X,) .But every - closed set is *closed. f - 1 (V) is *- closed in (X,).Hence f is *-continuous.
Remark 3.32 : In the following example it is shown that the converse of the above
theorem is not true in general.
Example 3.33 : Let X = Y= {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a,},{b,c} and = ,Y,{b,c},{c}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ; f (b) = b ;f (c) = c.

f 1 ({a}) = {a} ;f- 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is *- closed in (X,).Therefore f is -continuous


. But f 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is not -closed in (X,). Therefore f is *-continuous but
not -continuous.
Theorem 3.34 : Every - continuous map is sg- continuous.
Proof: Let f: (X,) (Y,) be - continuous. Let V be a closed subset of (Y,). Since
f is - continuous , f - 1 (V) is - closed in (X,) .But every - closed set is sgclosed. f - 1 (V) is sg - closed in (X,).Hence f is sg-continuous.

sg-continuous.But f- 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is not -closed in (X,).Therefore f is
sg -continuous but not -continuous.
Theorem 3.37 : Every - continuous map is g - continuous.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be - continuous. Let V be a closed subset of (Y,).
Since f is - continuous , f- 1 (V) is-closed in (X,) .But every - closed set is gclosed. f- 1 (V) is g - closed in (X,). Hence f is g-continuous.

is g- closed in (X,).Therefore f is g continuous. But f - 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is not

Theorem 3.58 Let f : (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions,
then (i) g f is *-continous if g is continuous and f is * -irresolute.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be * -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be continuous.
Let V be a closed subset in (Z,) .Since g is continuous ,g 1 (V) is closed in
(Y,).But every closed set is * -closed. g 1 (V) is *-closed in (Y,).Since f is
* -irresolute , 1 [ g 1 (V) ] is *-closed in (X,).Therefore [ g f ] 1 (V) is * closed in (X,).Hence for every closed set in (Z,) , [ g f ] 1 (V) is *-closed in
(X,).Therefore g f is *-continuous.
Theorem 3.59 : Let f : (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions,
then (i) g f is - continous if g is continuous and f is -irresolute.
Proof:Let f : (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be continuous.Let
V be a closed subset in (Z,) . Since every closed set is -closed ,g 1 (V) is -closed
in (Z,).Since g is continuous ,g 1 (V) is closed in (Y,).Since f is irresolute, 1 [ g 1 (V) ] is -closed in (X,).Hence for every closed set V in (Z,)
, [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is -continuous.
Theorem 3.60 : Let f: (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions,
then (i) g f is - continous if g is continuous and f is -irresolute.
Proof:Let f: (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be
continuous.Let V be a closed subset in (Z,) and since every closed set is -closed,g 1
(V) is -closed in (Z,).Since g is continuous ,g 1 (V) is - closed in (Y,).
g 1 (V) is -closed in (Y,).Since f is -irresolute,

[ g 1 (V) ] is -

closed in (X,).Therefore [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Hence for every closed


set in (Z,) , [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is -continuous.
Theorem 3.61 : Let f : (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions,

Therefore g f is -irresolute.

(V) is -closed in (Y,).Since f : (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute ,then 1 [ g 1
(V) ] is -closed in (X,).Therefore [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Hence for
every - closed set in (Z,) , [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is
-irresolute.
Theorem 3.64 : Let f: (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions, then
(i) g f is *-continuous if g is *- continuous and f is *-irresolute.

Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be continuous.Let V be a - closed subset in (Z,).Since g : (Y,) (Z,) is
-continuous ,g 1 (V) is -closed in (Y,).Moreover f : (X,) (Y,) be
-irresolute ,implies 1 [ g 1 (V) ] is -closed in (X,).Therefore
[ g f ] 1 (V) = 1 [ g 1 (V) ] is -closed in (X,).Hence for every closed set V of
(Z,), [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is -continuous.
Theorem 3.65 : Let f : (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions,
then (i) g f is -continuous if g is -continuous and f is -irresolute.
Proof: Let f: (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be -continuous.
Let V be a - closed subset in (Z,).Since g : (Y,) (Z,) is -continuous ,g 1
(V) is-closed in (Y,). Also f : (X,) (Y,) be irresolute,implies 1 [ g 1
(V) ] is -closed in (X,). Therefore [ g f ] 1 (V) is closed in (X,).Hence for
every closed V in (Z,) , [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is continuous.
Theorem 3.66 : Let f : (X,) (Y,) and g : (Y,) (Z,) be any two functions ,
then (i) g f is - continous if g is -continuous and f is - irresolute.
Proof: Let f : (X,) (Y,) be -irresolute and g : (Y,) (Z,) be - continous
.Let V be a closed subset in (Z,) .Since g is - continuous ,g 1 (V) is - closed in
(Y,).Since g 1 (V) is -closed in (Y,).Since f is -irresolute , 1 [ g 1 (V) ] is
-closed in (X,).Therefore [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Hence for every
closed set V in (Z,) , [ g f ] 1 (V) is -closed in (X,).Therefore g f is continuous.
