1. INTRODUCTION
Levine [5] introduced the class of generalized closed sets,a super class of closed sets in
1970. S.P.Arya and T.Nour [1] defined gs-closed sets in 1990, Maki et.al defined g closed sets in 1994.Pauline

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.

Since f is - continuous , f- 1 (V) is - closed in (X,).But every - closed set is gsclosed. f - 1 (V) is gs - closed in (X,).Hence f is gs-continuous.
Remark 3.41 : Converse of the above theorem need not be true and is shown below.
Example 3.42 : Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a,},{a,c} and =,Y,{c}.
Letf: (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c .
f 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is gs closed in (X,).But f - 1 ({a,b}) = {a,b} is not -closed in
(X,).Therefore f is gs-continuous but not -continuous.
Theorem 3.43 : Every - continuous map is g- continuous.
Proof:Letf : (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 g
closed. f- 1 (V) is g - closed in (X,).Hence f is g -continuous.
Remark 3.44 : Converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Example 3.45 : Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a},{a,b} and = ,Y ,{b}
Letf : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ;f (b) = b ;f (c) = c
f 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is g - closed in (X,).But f - 1 ({a,c}) = {a,c} is not -closed in
(X,).Therefore f is g -continuous but not -continuous.
Theorem 3.46 : Every - continuous map is s*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 s*g
closed. f - 1 (V) is s*g -closed in (X,).Hence f is s*gcontinuous.
Remark 3.47 : Converse is not true and is proved in the following example.
Example 3.48 : Let X = Y = {a,b,c} , = ,X,{a},{b,c} and = ,Y ,{b}.
Let f : (X,) (Y,) be the identity map f (a) = a ; f (b) = b ;f (c) = c

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 -

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.
