To contribute to soft topology, we originate the notion of soft bioperators ˜γ and ˜γ′. Then, we apply them to analyze soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open sets and study main properties. We also prove that every soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open set is soft open; however, the converse is true only when the soft topological space is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular. After that, we define and study two classes of soft closures namely Cl(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl operators, and two classes of soft interior namely Int(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Int operators. Moreover, we introduce the notions of soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-g.closed sets and soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-T12 spaces, and explore their fundamental properties. In general, we explain the relationships between these notions, and give some counterexamples.

Vagueness and uncertainty occupied the human mind for centuries. In modern society, we face uncertainty and vagueness in different areas such as economics, engineering, medical science, sociality, and environmental sciences. Over the years, mathematicians, engineers, and scientists, particularly those who focus on artificial intelligence are seeking for approaches to solve the problems that contain uncertainty or vagueness. They established many tools for this purpose such as soft sets which are the most popular of all these.
The concept of soft sets was first constructed by Molodtsov [29] in 1999 as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertain objects. He successfully applied the soft set theory in several directions of mathematics, such as smoothness of functions, game theory, operators research, Riemann integration, Perron integration, probability, theory of measurement, etc.
Maji et al. [27,28] presented an application of soft sets in decision making problems that is based on the reduction of parameters to keep the optimal choice objects. Chen [12] presented a new definition of soft set parametrization reduction and a comparison of it with attribute reduction in rough set theory. Pei and Miao [31] showed that soft sets are a class of special information systems. Kong et al. [26] introduced the notion of normal parameter reduction of soft sets and investigated the problem of sub-optimal choice. El-Shafei et al. [15] defined new relations between ordinary points and soft sets which leads to redefine many soft topological concepts. To keep more set-theoretic properties on soft set theory, Al-shami and El-Shafei [8] introduced the concepts of T-soft subset and T-equality relations. Also, they initiated soft linear system with respect to some soft equality relations. Al-shami [5] studied soft sets on ordered setting and applied to explore new types of compactness and expect missing values in the information systems.
The soft set theory has been applied to many different fields (for examples, [6,7,8,9,14,18,23,31,36]). In 2011, Shabir and Naz [32] constituted the study of soft topological spaces. They defined a soft topology on the collection of soft sets over X. Consequently, they defined basic notions of soft topological spaces such as soft open and soft closed sets, soft subspace, soft closure, soft neighbourhood of a point, soft separation axioms, soft regular spaces and soft normal spaces and established several properties for them. Kharal and Ahmad [25] defined mappings on soft classes utilizing two crisp maps, one of them between the universal sets and the second one the sets of parameters. Then, Zorlutuna and Cakir [36] studied continuity between soft topological spaces. Recently, Al-shami [2,3,4] has revised some foregoing results in connection with soft separation axioms and soft equality relations.
Kasahara [24] defined an operator associated with a topology, namely an α operator and initiated some definitions which are equivalent to their counterparts on topological spaces when the operator involved is the identity operator. He also studied α-closed graphs of α-continuous functions and α-compact spaces. Later, Jankovic [20] employed α operator to introduce α-closure of a set and give some characterizations on α-closed graph of functions. Then, Ogata [30] defined the notion of γ-open sets to study operator-functions and operator-separation. Umehara et al. [33] defined the concept of bioperatiors on topological spaces, and studied some bioperators-separation axioms. Recently, some researchers defined ˜γ operator on the soft topology ˜τ. By using this ˜γ operator, Benchalli et al. [11] and Kalaivani et al. [21] defined soft ˜γ-open set via soft point eF and studied some of its properties. Also, Kalavathia [22] introduced soft ˜γ-open set via an ordinary point and established some of its properties.
We aim through this paper to achieve three goals: (1) introduce and investigate the concept of soft bioperators ˜γ and ˜γ′; (2) present and discuss two classes of soft closures namely Cl(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl operators, and two classes of soft interior namely Int(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Int operators; (3) formulate and explore the concepts of soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-g.closed sets and soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-T12 spaces.
This research paper consists of five sections. Section 2 contains the concepts and findings from both soft set theory and soft ˜γ operator. Section 3 puts forward two novel soft topological concepts, namely, bioperators ˜γ and ˜γ′ and soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular spaces. Section 4 introduces and studies the concepts of soft Cl(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl operators, and soft Int(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Int operators. Section 5 presents soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-g.closed sets and soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-T12 spaces, and discusses some of their characterizations. The goal of Section 6 is to outline our main findings and plan for future work.
Definition 2.1. [29] Let X be an initial universe and E be a set of parameters. Let P(X) denote the power set of X and A be a non-empty subset of E. A pair (F,A) is called a soft set over X, where if F is a mapping given by F:A→P(X). In other words, a soft set over X is a parameterized family of subsets of the universe X. For a particular e∈A, F(e) may be considered the set of e-approximate elements of the soft set (F,A) and if e∉A, then F(e)=∅. The family of all these soft sets over the universal set X is denoted by SS(X)A.
We call (F,A) a null soft set, denoted by ˜ϕ if for all e∈A, F(e)=ϕ, and we call it an absolute soft set, denoted by ˜X if for all e∈A, F(e)=X.
Definition 2.2. [16] For two soft sets (F,A) and (G,B) over a common universe X, we say that (F,A) is a soft subset of (G,B) (we write (F,A)˜⊆(G,B)) if A⊆B, and F(e)⊆G(e) for all e∈A. We also say that these two soft sets are soft equal if (F,A) is a soft subset of (G,B) and (G,B) is a soft subset of (F,A).
Definition 2.3. [1] The complement of a soft set (F,A), denoted by (F,A)c or ˜X˜∖(F,A), is defined by (F,A)c=(Fc,A) where Fc:A→P(X) is a mapping given by Fc(e)=X∖F(e) for all e∈A.
Definition 2.4. [28] The soft union of two soft sets (F,A) and (G,B) over the common universe X is the soft set (H,C), where C=A∪B, denoted by (H,C)=(F,A) ˜∪ (G,B), and is defined as for all e∈C,
H(e)={F(e) if e∈A∖BG(e) if e∈B∖AF(e)∪G(e) if e∈A∩B. |
Definition 2.5. [1] The soft intersection of two soft sets (F,A) and (G,B) over a common universe X is the soft set (H,C) where C=A∩B≠∅, denoted by (H,C)= (F,A) ˜∩ (G,B), and is defined as H(e)= F(e) ∩ G(e) for all e ∈ C.
Definition 2.6. [32] The soft difference of two soft sets (F,A) and (G,A) over X is the soft set (H,A), denoted by (H,A)= (F,A)˜∖(G,A), and is defined as H(e)= F(e)∖G(e) for all e∈A.
Definition 2.7. [13] A soft set (P,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A is called a soft point in ˜X, denoted by Pxe, if there exist e∈A and x∈X such that P(e)={x} and P(e′)=ϕ for every e′ ∈ A∖{e}. We write Pxe ˜∈ (F,A), if x∈F(e).
Definition 2.8. [15,32] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A, and let x ∈ X. We say that
1. x˜∈ (F,A) whenever x∈F(e) for all e ∈ A.
2. x ˜⋐ (F,A) whenever x∈F(e) for some e ∈ A.
Note that x˜∉(F,A) if x∉F(e) for some e∈A, and x~⋐̸(F,A) if x∉F(e) for all e∈A.
Definition 2.9. [32] Let x ∈ X. Then (x,A) is the soft set over X for which x(e)={x} for all e ∈ A.
Definition 2.10 [32] Let ˜τ be the collection of soft sets over X. Then ˜τ is said to be a soft topology on X if it satisfies the following axioms:
1. ˜ϕ, ˜X belong to ˜τ.
2. The soft union of an arbitrary number of soft sets in ˜τ belongs to ˜τ.
3. The soft intersection of a finite number of soft sets in ˜τ belongs to ˜τ.
The triple (X,˜τ,A) is said to be a soft topological space (or soft space, in short) over X. Every member of ˜τ is called a soft open set. The complement of soft open set is called a soft closed set.
Definition 2.11. [19,32] Let (X,˜τ,A) be a soft topological space and let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A.
1. The soft closure of (F,A) is the soft set defined by
Cl(F,A)=˜∩{(G,A):(G,A) is a soft closed set and (G,A) ˜⊆ (F,A)}. Clearly Cl(F,A) is the smallest soft closed set over X which contains (F,A).
2. The soft interior of (F,A) is the soft set defined by
Int(F,A)=˜∪{(G,A):(G,A) is a soft open set and (F,A) ˜⊆ (G,A)}. Thus Int(F,A) is the largest soft open set contained in (F,A).
Lemma 2.1. [19] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A. Then Cl(F,A) = ˜X˜∖Int(˜X˜∖(F,A)) and Int(F,A) = ˜X˜∖Cl(˜X˜∖(F,A)).
Lemma 2.2. [34] Cl(F,A) ˜∩ (U,A) ˜⊆ Cl((F,A) ˜∩ (U,A)) for every soft open set (U,A) and every soft set (F,A) in (X,˜τ,A).
Definition 2.12. [11,21,22] Let (X,˜τ,A) be a soft topological space. An operator ˜γ on the soft topology ˜τ is a mapping from ˜τ into SS(X)A such that (V,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ(V,A) for all (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ, where ˜γ(V,A) denotes the value of ˜γ at (V,A). This operator will be denoted by ˜γ:˜τ→SS(X)A.
The main definitions and results about ˜γ operator on the soft topology ˜τ can be found in [11,21,22].
Now, we will define the soft ˜γ-open set with respect to a soft point Pxe.
Definition 2.13. Let (X,˜τ,A) be a soft topological space and {˜γ:˜τ→SS(X)A} be an operator on ˜τ. A soft set (F,A) of (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft ˜γ-open if for each Pxe ˜∈ (F,A), there exists (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (V,A) and ˜γ(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A).
˜τ˜γ will be denoted by the class of all soft ˜γ-open sets of a soft topological space (X,˜τ,A). It is clear that ˜τ˜γ ˜⊆ ˜τ. The union of any soft ˜γ-open sets is soft ˜γ-open, but the intersection of any two soft ˜γ-open sets need not be soft ˜γ-open. Therefore, ˜τ˜γ is not a soft topology on ˜X.
The definition of soft regular operator ˜γ on ˜τ with respect to a soft point Pxe is as follows.
Definition 2.14. Let (X,˜τ,A) be any soft topological space. An operator ˜γ on ˜τ is said to be soft regular if for every soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of each Pxe ˜∈ ˜X, there exists a soft open neighborhood (W,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(W,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ(U,A) ˜∩ ˜γ(V,A). |
Proposition 2.1. Let ˜γ be a soft regular operator on ˜τ. If (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ and (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ, then (F,A) ˜∩ (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ. Thus, ˜τ˜γ is a soft topology on ˜X.
Next, the definition of soft ˜γ-regular space (X,˜τ,A) with respect to a soft point Pxe is as follows.
Definition 2.15. A soft topological space (X,˜τ,A) with an operator ˜γ on ˜τ is said to be soft ˜γ-regular if for every Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and for every (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A), there exists (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (W,A) and ˜γ′(W,A) ˜⊆ (U,A).
Proposition 2.2. A soft topological space (X,˜τ,A) is soft ˜γ-regular if and only if ˜τ=˜τ˜γ.
Definition 2.16. Let (X,˜τ,A) be any soft topological space. An operator ˜γ on ˜τ is said to be soft open if for each Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and for each (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A), there exists (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ with Pxe ˜∈ (W,A) and (W,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ(U,A).
Definition 2.17. [22] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A and Pxe ˜∈ ˜X. A soft point Pxe ˜∈ ˜X is in the soft ˜γ-closure of (F,A) if ˜γ(U,A) ˜∩ (F,A) ˜≠ ˜ϕ for every (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A). The set of all soft ˜γ-closure points of (F,A) is called the soft ˜γ-closure of (F,A) and it is denoted by Cl˜γ(F,A).
Definition 2.18. [22] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A. The soft set ˜τ˜γ-Cl(F,A) denotes the soft intersection of all soft ˜γ-closed sets of (X,˜τ,A) containing (F,A) and is defined as
˜τ˜γ-Cl(F,A) = ˜⋂{(K,A) : (F,A) ˜⊆ (K,A) and ˜X˜∖(K,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ}.
Definition 2.19. [22] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A and Pxe ˜∈ ˜X. A soft point Pxe ˜∈ (F,A) is said to be soft ˜γ-interior point of (F,A) if there exists a soft open neighborhood (U,A) of Pxe such that ˜γ(U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). We denote the set of all soft ˜γ-interior points of (F,A) by Int˜γ(F,A). That is,
Int˜γ(F,A) = {Pxe ˜∈ (F,A) : ˜γ(U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A) for some (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A)}.
Definition 2.20. [22] Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A. Denote ˜τ˜γ-Int(F,A) by the soft union of all soft ˜γ-open sets of (X,˜τ,A) contained in (F,A) and is defined as
˜τ˜γ-Int(F,A) = ˜⋃{(U,A) : (U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A) and (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ˜γ}.
Definition 2.21. [22] A soft set (F,A) of a soft space (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft ˜γ-g.closed if Cl˜γ(F,A) ˜⊆ (U,A) whenever (F,A) ˜⊆ (U,A) and (U,A) is soft ˜γ-open.
Definition 2.22. [22] A soft space (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft ˜γ-T12 if every soft ˜γ-g.closed set of (X,˜τ,A) is soft ˜γ-closed.
Throughout this paper, let ˜γ and ˜γ′ be given two operators on a soft topology ˜τ. That is, {˜γ:˜τ→SS(X)A} and {˜γ′:˜τ→SS(X)A} are mappings such that (U,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ(U,A) and (V,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ′(V,A) for all (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ and for all (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ.
We begin this section by presenting the following definition:
Definition 3.1. Let (X,˜τ,A) be a soft topological space, and ˜γ and ˜γ′ be operators on ˜τ. A non-null soft set (F,A) of (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open if for each soft point Pxe ˜∈ (F,A), there exist soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). |
Suppose that the null soft set ˜ϕ is also soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open for any operators ˜γ and ˜γ′ on ˜τ.
˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) will be denoted by the class of all soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open sets of a soft topological space (X,˜τ,A).
Example 3.1. Let X = {a1,a2,a3}, A = {e1,e2} and ˜τ = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F1,A), (F2,A), (F3,A), (F4,A)} be a soft topology on X, where (F1,A), (F2,A), (F3,A) and (F4,A) defined as follows:
(F1,A) = {(e1,{a1}),(e2,{a1})},
(F2,A) = {(e1,{a2}),(e2,{a2})},
(F3,A) = {(e1,{a1,a2}),(e2,{a1,a2})} and
(F4,A) = {(e1,{a2,a3}),(e2,{a2,a3})}.
Define operators {˜γ:˜τ→SS(X)A} and {˜γ′:˜τ→SS(X)A} as follows: For all (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ
˜γ(F,A)={Cl(F,A) if Pa2e1˜∈(F,A)(F,A) if Pa2e1˜∉(F,A) |
and
˜γ′(F,A)={(F,A) if (F,A)=(F2,A) or (F,A)=(F4,A)˜Xotherwise. |
Thus, ˜τ˜γ = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F1,A), (F4,A)},
˜τ˜γ′ = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F2,A), (F4,A)} and
˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F4,A)}.
Proposition 3.1. For any soft set (F,A) of (X,˜τ,A), the following hold.
1. If (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open, then (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open for any operator ˜γ′.
2. If (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open, then (F,A) is soft ˜γ′-open for any operator ˜γ.
3. (a) (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open if and only if (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open and soft ˜γ′-open.
(b) ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) = ˜τ˜γ ˜∩ ˜τ˜γ′.
4. If (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open, then (F,A) is soft open.
Proof. (1) Let Pxe ˜∈ (F,A). Then there exist soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of Pxe such that ˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). Hence, ˜γ(U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). This implies that (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open.
(2) Let Pxe ˜∈ (F,A). Then there exist soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of Pxe such that ˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). Hence, ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). This implies that (F,A) is soft ˜γ′-open.
(3a) Necessity: Let Pxe ˜∈ (F,A). It follows from assumptions that there exist soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of Pxe such that ˜γ(U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A) and ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). Thus, ˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). Therefore, (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open.
Sufficiency: Let Pxe ˜∈ (F,A). Then from (1) and (2), we get ˜γ(U,A) ˜⊆ (F,A) and ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (F,A). Therefore, (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open and soft ˜γ′-open.
(3b) It is obvious.
(4) Since ˜τ˜γ ˜⊆ ˜τ and (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open (by (1)), (F,A) is soft open.
Remark 3.1. The following relations are shown by Proposition 3.1 (3).
˜τ˜γ ˜∩ ˜τ˜γ′ = ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) ˜⊆ ˜τ˜γ ˜⊆ ˜τ |
and
˜τ˜γ ˜∩ ˜τ˜γ′ = ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) ˜⊆ ˜τ˜γ′ ˜⊆ ˜τ. |
The following example shows that the inverse inclusions of Remark 3.1 do not hold and the converses of Proposition 3.1 are not true in general.
Example 3.2. Consider the soft topological space (X,˜τ,A) defined in Example 3.1. Then the soft set (F1,A) is soft ˜γ-open in ˜X, but (F1,A) is neither soft ˜γ′-open nor soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open. Whereas, the soft set (F2,A) is soft ˜γ′-open in ˜X, but (F2,A) is neither soft ˜γ-open nor soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open. Therefore, ˜τ˜γ ˜≠ ˜τ˜γ′, ˜τ˜γ ˜⊈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ˜γ′ ˜⊈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). Also, (F3,A) is soft open, but it is not soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open.
Proposition 3.2. For any soft set (F,A) of (X,˜τ,A), the following statements are equivalent:
1. (F,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ)-open.
2. (F,A) is soft ˜γ-open.
3. (F,A) is soft (˜γ,~id)-open, where {~id:˜τ→SS(X)A} is the identity operator, i.e. ˜γ(F,A)=(F,A) for every (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ.
Proof. (1) ⇔ (2) It is shown by setting ˜γ′=˜γ in Proposition 3.1 (3a).
(2) ⇔ (3) It is shown by their definitions.
Lemma 3.1. If (Fλ,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open for every λ∈Λ, then ˜⋃{(Fλ,A):λ∈Λ} is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open.
Proof. Let Pxe ˜∈ ˜⋃λ∈Λ(Fλ,A). Then Pxe ˜∈ (Fλ0,A) for some λ0∈Λ. Hence there exist soft open neighborhoods (U,A) and (V,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (Fλ0,A) ˜⊆ ˜⋃λ˜∈Λ (Fλ,A). |
Thus, ˜⋃λ˜∈Λ (Fλ,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′).
Remark 3.2. The intersection of any two soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open sets need not be soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open as shown by the below example.
Example 3.3. Let (X,˜τ,A) be same as given in Example 3.1. Define operators {˜γ:˜τ→SS(X)A} and {˜γ′:˜τ→SS(X)A} as follows: For all (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ
˜γ(F,A)={(F,A) if Pa1e1˜∈(F,A)Cl(F,A) if Pa1e1˜∉(F,A) |
and
˜γ′(F,A)={(F,A) if Pa2e1˜∈(F,A)˜X if Pa2e1˜∉(F,A). |
Thus, ˜τ˜γ = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F1,A), (F3,A), (F4,A)},
˜τ˜γ′ = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F2,A), (F3,A), (F4,A)} and
˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) = {˜ϕ, ˜X, (F3,A), (F4,A)}.
Then, (F3,A) and (F4,A) are soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open sets. However, their intersection (F3,A) ˜∩ (F4,A) = (F2,A) is not a soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open set in ˜X.
Remark 3.3. It follows that ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) may not be a soft topology on ˜X. According to Lemma 3.1 (X,˜τ,A) is a supra soft topological space.
Proposition 3.3. Let ˜γ and ˜γ′ be soft regular operators on ˜τ.
1. If (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) and (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′), then (F,A) ˜∩ (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′).
2. ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) is a soft topology on ˜X.
Proof. (1) Assume that (F,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) and (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). Let Pxe ˜∈ (F,A) ∩ (G,A). Then Pxe ˜∈ (F,A) and Pxe ˜∈ (G,A). So, there exist soft open neighborhoods (U1,A), (V1,A), (U2,A) and (V2,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(U1,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V1,A) ˜⊆ (F,A) |
and
˜γ(U2,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V2,A) ˜⊆ (G,A). |
Since ˜γ and ˜γ′ are soft regular operators on ˜τ, there exist soft open neighborhoods (W1,A) and (W2,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(W1,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ(U1,A) ˜∩ ˜γ(V1,A) |
and
˜γ′(W2,A) ˜⊆ ˜γ′(U2,A) ˜∩ ˜γ′(V2,A). |
So,
˜γ(W1,A)˜∪˜γ′(W2,A)˜⊆[˜γ(U1,A)˜∩˜γ(V1,A)]˜∪[˜γ′(U2,A)˜∩˜γ′(V2,A)]˜⊆[˜γ(U1,A)˜∪˜γ(U2,A)]˜∩[˜γ′(V1,A)˜∪˜γ′(V2,A)]˜⊆(F,A)˜∩(G,A). |
Thus, (F,A) ˜∩ (G,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′).
(2) Since ˜ϕ and ˜X are soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open sets, it is proved by (1) and Lemma 3.1 that ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) is a soft topology on ˜X.
The following example shows that the soft regularity on ˜γ and ˜γ′ of Proposition 3.3 cannot be removed in general.
Example 3.4. Consider the soft topological space (X,˜τ,A) defined in Example 3.3. Then ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) is not a soft topology on ˜X since ˜γ is not a soft regular operator on ˜τ. If we take soft open neighborhoods (F2,A) and (F3,A) of a soft point Pa2e1, then ˜γ(F3,A) ˜∩ ˜γ(F4,A) = (F3,A) ˜∩ Cl(F4,A) = (F3,A) ˜∩ (F4,A) = (F2,A). But we cannot find a soft open neighborhood (W,A) of this soft point Pa2e1 such that ˜γ(W,A) ˜⊆ (F2,A).
Definition 3.2. A soft topological space (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular if for every Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and for every (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A), there exist (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ and (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (V,A), Pxe ˜∈ (W,A) and ˜γ(V,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(W,A) ˜⊆ (U,A).
Theorem 3.1. Let (X,˜τ,A) be a soft topological space. Then the following statements are equivalent:
1. ˜τ=˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′).
2. (X,˜τ,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular.
3. For each Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and for each (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A), there exists (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) with Pxe ˜∈ (W,A) and (W,A) ˜⊆ (U,A).
Proof. (1) ⇒ (2) Let Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A). It follows from assumption that (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). This implies that there exist (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ and (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (W,A), Pxe ˜∈ (V,A) and
˜γ(W,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A) ˜⊆ (U,A). |
Thus, (X,˜τ,A) is a soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular space.
(2) ⇒ (3) Let Pxe ˜∈ ˜X and (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (U,A). Then by (2), there exist (V1,A) ˜∈˜τ and (V2,A)˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe ˜∈ (V1,A), Pxe ˜∈ (V2,A) and ˜γ(V1,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V2,A) ˜⊆ (U,A). Again, by using (2) for the soft sets (V1,A) and (V2,A), there exist soft open neighborhoods (S1,A), (S2,A), (T1,A) and (T2,A) of Pxe such that
˜γ(S1,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(S2,A) ˜⊆ (V1,A) |
and
˜γ(T1,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(T2,A) ˜⊆ (V2,A). |
This means that (V1,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) and (V2,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). Take (W,A) = (V1,A) ˜∪ (V2,A). Thus, by Lemma 3.1, (W,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) with Pxe ˜∈ (W,A) and (W,A) ˜⊆ (U,A).
(3) ⇒ (1) By using (3) and Lemma 3.1, it follows that (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). That is, ˜τ ˜⊆ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′). Since ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) ˜⊆ ˜τ (by Remark 3.1), ˜τ=˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′).
Example 3.5. Since ˜τ ≠ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′) as shown in Example 3.3, (X,˜τ,A) is not a soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular space.
Lemma 3.2. (X,˜τ,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular if and only if ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)= ˜τ˜γ= ˜τ˜γ′= ˜τ.
Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 3.1 and Remark 3.1.
Proposition 3.4. (X,˜τ,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-regular if and only if (X,˜τ,A) is both soft ˜γ-regular and soft ˜γ′-regular.
Proof. The proof follows from Lemma 3.2 and Proposition 2.2.
Proposition 3.5. The following statements are equivalent:
1. (X,˜τ,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ)-regular.
2. (X,˜τ,A) is soft ˜γ-regular.
3. (X,˜τ,A) is soft (˜γ,~id)-regular.
Proof. Since ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ)= ˜τ˜γ= ˜τ(˜γ,~id) ˜⊆ ˜τ holds in general, the equivalences are proved by using Theorem 3.1.
In this section, we introduce two closure operators, namely, Cl(˜γ,˜γ′) and ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl, and two interior operators, namely, Int(˜γ,˜γ′) ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Int. We illustrate the relationships between them and discuss main properties.
First, we define soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closed set.
Definition 4.1. A soft subset (K,A) of a soft space (X,˜τ,A) is said to be soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closed if its complement ˜X˜∖(K,A) is soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-open in (X,˜τ,A).
Next, two classes of soft closures via bioperators ˜γ and ˜γ′ are investigated.
Definition 4.2. Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A and Pxe ˜∈ ˜X.
1. A soft point Pxe is said to be a soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closure point of (F,A) if (˜γ(U,A) ˜∪ ˜γ′(V,A)) ˜∩ (F,A) ˜≠ ˜ϕ for every (U,A) ˜∈ ˜τ and (V,A) ˜∈ ˜τ with Pxe˜∈(U,A)˜∩(V,A). The set of all soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closure points of (F,A) is called soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closure of (F,A) and it is denoted by Cl(˜γ,˜γ′)(F,A).
2. ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl(F,A) denotes the soft intersection of all soft (˜γ,˜γ′)-closed sets of (X,˜τ,A) containing (F,A) and is defined as
˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)-Cl(F,A) = ˜⋂{(K,A) : (F,A) ˜⊆ (K,A) and ˜X˜∖(K,A) ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)}.
Theorem 4.1. Let (F,A) ˜∈ SS(X)A and Pxe ˜∈ ˜X. Then Pxe ˜∈ ˜τ(˜γ,˜γ′)- Cl(F, A) if and only if (F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} for each (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) .
Proof. Necessity: Let P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) and assume that (F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) = \tilde{\phi} for some (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) . Then (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) and \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set in \tilde{X} . Hence \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) . Thus, P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) . This is a contradiction. So, the proof is completed.
Sufficiency: Let P_e^x \tilde{\notin} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) . So there exists a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set (K, A) containing (F, A) with P_e^x \tilde{\notin} (K, A) . Hence, \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(K, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(K, A) and [\tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(K, A)] \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} , which is a contradiction by hypothesis. Thus, P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
Lemma 4.1. Let (F, A), (G, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then the following statements are true:
1. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in \tilde{X} and Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) is soft closed in \tilde{X} .
2. (a) (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
(b) (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
3. The following are equivalent:
(a) (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
(b) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) = (F, A) .
(c) Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) .
4 If (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (G, A) , then \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) and Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
5. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) .
(b) Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
6. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\supseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) .
(b) Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\supseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
7. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A)) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
8. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A)) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
Proof. Straightforward.
Theorem 4.2. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then,
Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = Cl_{\tilde{\gamma}}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}}(F, A). |
Proof. We start by their definitions,
P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) .
\Leftrightarrow There exist (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} and (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A) such that (\tilde{\gamma}(U, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A)) \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} .
\Leftrightarrow There exist (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} and (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A) such that \tilde{\gamma}(U, A) \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A) \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} .
\Leftrightarrow P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{\tilde{\gamma}}(F, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}}(F, A) .
\Leftrightarrow P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{\tilde{\gamma}}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}}(F, A) .
So, we get the proof.
Proposition 4.1. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . If (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is a soft regular space, then Cl(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} - Cl(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} - Cl(F, A) = Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
Proof. By using Theorem 3.1, \tilde{\tau} = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} . Hence Cl(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) . It follows from Lemma 4.1 (2) that Cl(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} - Cl(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} - Cl(F, A) = Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
Lemma 4.2. Let \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} be soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} . For any (F, A), (G, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A , we have
1. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) .
2. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) = Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) .
Proof. (1) It follows directly from Lemma 4.1 (6) that \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) . Then it is enough to prove that \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) . Let P_e^x \tilde{\notin} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(G, A) . Then there exist (U, A), (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) , P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A) , (F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) = \tilde{\phi} and (G, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A) = \tilde{\phi} . Since \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} , by Proposition 3.3 (1), (U, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} such that
[(U, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A)] \tilde{\cap} [(F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)] = \tilde{\phi}. |
This means that P_e^x \tilde{\notin} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) . Hence,
\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl(G, A). |
(2) Let P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) . Then there exist soft open sets (U_1, A) , (U_2, A) , (V_1, A) , (V_2, A) all containing P_e^x with (\tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A)) \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} and (\tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A)) \tilde{\cap} (G, A) = \tilde{\phi} . Since \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} , there exist (W_1, A), (W_2, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (W_1, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} (W_2, A) such that
\tilde{\gamma}(W_1, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A) |
and
{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(W_2, A) \tilde{\subseteq} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A) \tilde{\cap} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A). |
Thus, we have
\begin{align*} \tilde{\gamma}(W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(W_2, A) & \tilde{\subseteq} [\tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A)] \tilde{\cup} [{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A) \tilde{\cap} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A)]\\ & \tilde{\subseteq} [\tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A)]. \end{align*} |
Hence, [(F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(W_2, A)] \tilde{\subseteq} [(F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A)] .
The disjoint of [(F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)] and [\tilde{\gamma}(U_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(U_2, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(V_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V_2, A)] leads to
[(F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)] \tilde{\cap} [\tilde{\gamma}(W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(W_2, A)] = \tilde{\phi}. |
This means that P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) . Therefore, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(A) \tilde{\cup} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) . From Lemma 4.1 (6), we obtain the equality.
Lemma 4.3. Let \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} be soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} , and let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then
\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A)) |
holds for each (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} .
Proof. Suppose that P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) for each (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} , then P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) . Let (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A) . Since \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} , by Proposition 3.3 (1), (U, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A) . Since P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) , by Theorem 4.1, we find that (F, A) \tilde{\cap} ((U, A) \tilde{\cap} (V, A)) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} . Therefore, ((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A)) \tilde{\cap} (V, A) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} . Thus, by Theorem 4.1, we have that P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A)) . Hence,
\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl(F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}-Cl((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (U, A)). |
Theorem 4.3. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A , then the following properties are equivalent:
1. (F, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} .
2. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(\tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A)) = \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) .
3. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(\tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A)) = \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) .
4. \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
Theorem 4.4. Let \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} be soft open operators on \tilde{\tau} , and let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . If (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -regular space, then the following hold:
1. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
2. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)) = Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) .
3. Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in \tilde{X} .
Proof. (1) First we need to show that \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . By Lemma 4.1 (2), we have Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) . Now let P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) , then there exist (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} and (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) , P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A) and (\tilde{\gamma}(U, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A)) \tilde{\cap} (F, A) = \tilde{\phi} . Since \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft open operators on \tilde{\tau} , there exist (W_1, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} and (W_2, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (W_1, A) , P_e^x \tilde{\in} (W_2, A) such that (W_1, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\gamma}(U, A) and (W_2, A) \tilde{\subseteq} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A) . So (F, A) \tilde{\cap} ((W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} (W_2, A)) = \tilde{\phi} . Since (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -regular, by Lemma 3.2, (W_1, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} and (W_2, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} . Hence by Lemma 3.1, ((W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} (W_2, A)) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} ((W_1, A) \tilde{\cup} (W_2, A)) . Thus, by Theorem 4.1, P_e^x \tilde{\notin} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) . Therefore, \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . Hence Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
(2) The proof follows from part (1) and Lemma 4.1 (7).
(3) By part (2) and Lemma 4.1 (3), we get Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in \tilde{X} .
In the end of this section, we introduce two classes of soft interior via bioperators \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} called Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} and \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int operators.
Definition 4.3. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A and P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} .
1. A soft point P_e^x \tilde{\in} (F, A) is said to be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -interior point of (F, A) if there exist soft open neighborhoods (U, A) and (V, A) of P_e^x such that \tilde{\gamma}(U, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) . We denote the set of all soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -interior points of (F, A) by Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . That is,
Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \{P_e^x \tilde{\in} (F, A) : \tilde{\gamma}(U, A) \tilde{\cup} {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(V, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) for some (U, A), (V, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} with P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} (V, A)\} .
2. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) denotes the soft union of all soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open sets of (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) contained in (F, A) and is defined as
\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) = \tilde{\bigcup}\{(U, A) : (U, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) and (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}\} .
Lemma 4.4. Let (F, A), (G, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then the following statements are true:
1. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open in \tilde{X} and Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) is soft open in \tilde{X} .
2. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) .
(b) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) .
3. The following are equivalent:
(a) (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
(b) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) = (F, A) .
(c) Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) .
4. If (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (G, A) , then \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(G, A) and Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
5. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(G, A) .
(b) Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
6. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\supseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\cup} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(G, A) .
(b) Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cup} (G, A)) \tilde{\supseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cup} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) .
7. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A)) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) .
(b) Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)) = Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) .
8. (a) \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(\tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A)) = \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) .
(b) Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(\tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A)) = \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) .
Proof. Straightforward.
Lemma 4.5. Let \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} be soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} . For any (F, A), (G, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A , we have
1. \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int(G, A) = \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Int((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) .
2. Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(G, A) = Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((F, A) \tilde{\cap} (G, A)) .
Definition 4.4. Let (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) be a soft space and a soft point P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} . Then a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -neighbourhood (soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd, in short) of a soft point P_e^x is a soft set (N, A) which contains a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set (U, A) in \tilde{X} such that P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) . Evidently, a soft set (N, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd of P_e^x if P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) .
The class of all soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbds of P_e^x is called the soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd system at P_e^x and is denoted by (N_{P_e^x}, A) .
Theorem 4.5. The soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd system (N_{P_e^x}, A) at P_e^x in a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) has the following properties:
1. If (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) , then P_e^x \tilde{\in} (N, A) .
2. If (N, A), (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) , then (N, A) \tilde{\cap} (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) , where \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} .
3. If (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) , then there is (U, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) such that (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^y}, A) for each P_e^y \tilde{\in} (U, A) such that y \neq x .
4. If (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) and (N, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (M, A) , then (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) .
Proof. (1) It is clear.
(2) Let (N, A), (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) . This means that P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) and P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(M, A) which imply that P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) \tilde{\cap} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(M, A) . Since \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft regular operators on \tilde{\tau} , by Lemma 4.5 (2), we have P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}((N, A) \tilde{\cap} (M, A)) . Thus, (N, A) \tilde{\cap} (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) .
(3) Let (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) . Take (U, A) = Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) . Then for each P_e^y \tilde{\in} (U, A) such that y \neq x , P_e^y \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) and hence (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^y}, A) .
(4) Let (N, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) . This means that P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) . Since (N, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (M, A) , Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(M, A) which obtains that P_e^x \tilde{\in} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(M, A) . Thus, (M, A) \tilde{\in} (N_{P_e^x}, A) .
Theorem 4.6. A soft set (N, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set in \tilde{X} if and only if (N, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd of each of its soft points.
Proof. Necessity: If (N, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open, then (N, A) = Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(N, A) (by Lemma 4.4 (3)). Therefore, (N, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd of each of its soft points.
Sufficiency: Let (N, A) be a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -nbd of each of its soft points. Then, (N, A) contains a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set (U, A) in \tilde{X} such that P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) for each P_e^x \tilde{\in} (N, A) . Therefore, (N, A) = \tilde{\bigcup}_{P_e^x\tilde{\in}(N, A)}(U_{P_e^x}, A) is a union of soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open sets and hence by Lemma 3.1, (N, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
In this section, we introduce soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed sets and soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} spaces, and study some of their characterizations.
Definition 5.1. A soft set (F, A) of a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is said to be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed if Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) whenever (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) and (U, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
Remark 5.1. Every soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed, but its converse is not true as may be shown from the following example.
Example 5.1. Consider the soft topological space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) defined in Example 3.3. Take (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A such that (F, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_1, a_2\}), (e_2, \{a_2, a_3\})\} . Then, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{X} , and (F, A) is not soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed. However, (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) , because \tilde{X} is the only soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set containing (F, A) .
Proposition 5.1. A soft set (F, A) of a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, \tilde{\gamma}) - g .closed if and only if (F, A) is soft \tilde{\gamma} - g .closed.
Proof. The proof is immediate consequence of Proposition 3.1 (3).
The following results characterize soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed sets.
Lemma 5.1. A soft set (F, A) of a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed if and only if (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} for every P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) .
Proof. Necessity: Suppose that there exists a soft point P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) such that (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) = \tilde{\phi} implies (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) . Since \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed, \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open. Now, soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closedness of (F, A) in \tilde{X} implies that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) . Therefore, P_e^x \tilde{\notin} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . This is a contradiction. Thus, (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} .
Sufficiency: Let (U, A) be a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set in \tilde{X} such that (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) . To show that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) , let P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . Then by hypothesis, (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} . So, let P_e^y \tilde{\in} (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) for a soft point P_e^y \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} such that y \neq x . Thus, P_e^y \tilde{\in} (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) and P_e^y \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) . By Theorem 4.1, P_e^x \tilde{\cap} (U, A) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} and so, P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) . This implies that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) . Thus, (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed.
Theorem 5.1. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then the following hold:
1. If (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed, then Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) does not contain any non-null soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) .
2. If both \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} are soft open operators on \tilde{\tau} , and the soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -regular, then the converse of (1) is true.
Proof. (1) Suppose that (E, A) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set in \tilde{X} such that (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) . Then (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) and so, (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(E, A) . Since \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(E, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open and (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(E, A) . That is, (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . Therefore, (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\phi} . Thus, (E, A) = \tilde{\phi} . But this is a contradiction. Hence, (E, A) \tilde{\not\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) .
(2) Let (U, A) be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open such that (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) . So, by hypothesis and Theorem 4.4 (3), Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in \tilde{X} . Thus, we have Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in \tilde{X} . Since \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) , Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(U, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) . Therefore, by using the assumption of the converse of (1), we obtain that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = \tilde{\phi} . This implies that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) . Thus, (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) .
Corollary 5.1. Let (F, A) be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed of (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) . Then (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed if and only if Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) .
Proof. Necessity: Let (F, A) be (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) . It follows from Lemma 4.1 (3) that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) and hence Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) = \tilde{\phi} which is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
Sufficiency: Suppose Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed and (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed. It follows from Theorem 5.1 (1) that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) does not contain any non-null soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) . Since Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed subset of itself, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) = \tilde{\phi} implies Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) = \tilde{\phi} . Hence, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) . Therefore, by Lemma 4.1 (3), we obtain (F, A) is a soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) .
Proposition 5.2. If (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed and soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set of \tilde{X} , then (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
Proof. Since (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed and soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set in \tilde{X} , Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) and hence by Lemma 4.1 (3), (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
Proposition 5.3. For each P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} , P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed or \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed.
Proof. Suppose that P_e^x is not soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed. Then \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x is not soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open. So, \tilde{X} is the only soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open set containing \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x . Thus, \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed.
Definition 5.2. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then the \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-}kernel of (F, A) , denoted by \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) , is defined as follows:
\tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}{-}ker(F, A) = \tilde{\bigcap}\{(U, A): (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) \ and \ (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}\} |
That is, \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) is the intersection of all soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open sets of (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) containing (F, A) .
Theorem 5.2. Let (F, A) \tilde{\in} SS(X)_A . Then (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed if and only if Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) .
Proof. Necessity: Suppose that (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed. Then Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) , whenever (U, A) \tilde{\supseteq} (F, A) and (U, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open. Let P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . Hence, by Lemma 5.1, (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} . So, there exists a soft point P_e^z \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} such that z \neq x and P_e^z \tilde{\in} (F, A) \tilde{\cap} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) implies that P_e^z \tilde{\in} (F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) and P_e^z \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(P_e^x) . It follows from Theorem 4.1 that P_e^x \tilde{\cap} (U, A) \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} . Hence we show that P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) . Thus, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) .
Sufficiency: Let Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) . Let (U, A) \tilde{\supseteq} (F, A) where (U, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open in \tilde{X} . Let P_e^x be a soft point in \tilde{X} such that P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . Then P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) . So, we have P_e^x \tilde{\in} (U, A) , because (U, A) \tilde{\supseteq} (F, A) and (U, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} . That is, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} {-} ker(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (U, A) . Thus, (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed in \tilde{X} .
Definition 5.3. A soft set (K, A) of a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is said to be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .open if its complement \tilde{X} \tilde{\setminus} (K, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) .
Proposition 5.4. A soft set (K, A) of a soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .open if and only if (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} Int_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(K, A) whenever (E, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (K, A) and (E, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
In the end of this section, we introduce the notion of soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} space and investigate some of its properties.
Definition 5.4. A soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is said to be soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} if every soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed set of (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed.
Theorem 5.3. A soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} if and only if for each P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} , the soft set P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed or soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
Proof. Necessity: Suppose that P_e^x is not soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) . By Proposition 5.3, we have \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed. Since (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} , \tilde{X}\tilde{\setminus}P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed and hence P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
Sufficiency: Let (F, A) be any soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed. Then, we claim that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) holds. It is sufficient to show that Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) . Let P_e^x \tilde{\in} Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) . By the assumption, P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed or soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open. So there are two cases:
\mathit{1}^{st} Case: If P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed and P_e^x \tilde{\notin} (F, A) , then P_e^x \tilde{\in}Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A)\tilde{\setminus}(F, A) contains a non-null soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed set P_e^x . Since (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed and according to Theorem 5.1 (1), we obtain a contradiction. Hence, P_e^x \tilde{\in} (F, A) . Thus, Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) and so Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) = (F, A) . Hence by Lemma 4.1 (3), (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed in (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) . Therefore, (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} .
\mathit{2} ^{nd} Case: If P_e^x is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open, then by Theorem 4.1, (F, A) \tilde{\cap} P_e^x \tilde{\neq} \tilde{\phi} because P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} - Cl(F, A) . This implies that P_e^x \tilde{\in} (F, A) . So Cl_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})}(F, A) \tilde{\subseteq} (F, A) . Thus by Lemma 4.1 (3), (F, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed. Thus, (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} .
The following corollary follows directly from Theorem 5.3, Proposition 5.1 and Proposition 3.1 (3).
Corollary 5.2. For any soft space (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) , the following are equivalent:
1. (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, \tilde{\gamma}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} .
2. (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft \tilde{\gamma} - T_{\frac{1}{2}} .
3. For each P_e^x \tilde{\in} \tilde{X} , the soft set P_e^x is soft \tilde{\gamma} -closed or soft \tilde{\gamma} -open.
Proposition 5.5. If (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} , then it is soft \tilde{\gamma} - T_{\frac{1}{2}} and soft {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} - T_{\frac{1}{2}} .
Proof. It follows from Theorem 5.3, Corollary 5.2 and Proposition 3.1 (3).
The following example shows that the converse of Proposition 5.5 is not true in general.
Example 5.2. Let X = \{a_1, a_2\} , A = \{e_1, e_2\} and \tilde{\tau} = \{ \tilde{\phi} , \tilde{X} , (F_1, A) , (F_2, A) , (F_3, A) , (F_4, A) , (F_5, A) , (F_6, A) , (F_7, A) , (F_8, A) \} where
(F_1, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_1\}), (e_2, \phi)\} ,
(F_2, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_2\}), (e_2, \phi)\} ,
(F_3, A) = \{(e_1, \phi), (e_2, \{a_2\})\} ,
(F_4, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_1\}), (e_2, \{a_2\})\} ,
(F_5, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_2\}), (e_2, \{a_2\})\} ,
(F_6, A) = \{(e_1, \{a_2\}), (e_2, X)\} ,
(F_7, A) = \{(e_1, X), (e_2, \{a_2\})\} and
(F_8, A) = \{(e_1, X), (e_2, \phi)\} .
Then (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is a soft topological space over X . Let \tilde{\gamma} \colon \tilde{\tau} \rightarrow SS(X)_A and { {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} \colon \tilde{\tau} \rightarrow SS(X)_A } be operators defined as follows: For all (F, A) \tilde{\in} \tilde{\tau} ,
\tilde{\gamma}(F, A) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (F, A) & \ if \ P_{e_1}^{a_1} \tilde{\in} (F, A) \\ Int(Cl(F, A)) & \ if \ P_{e_1}^{a_1} \tilde{\notin} (F, A) \tilde{\neq} (F_6, A) \\ \tilde{X} & \ if \ (F, A) = (F_6, A) \end{array} \right. |
and
{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}(F, A) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (F, A) & \ if \ (F, A) = (F_2, A) \ or \ (F, A) = (F_3, A) \\ & \ or \ (F, A) = (F_5, A) \ or \ (F, A) = (F_7, A) \\ \tilde{X} & otherwise. \end{array} \right. |
It is clear that \tilde{\tau}_{\tilde{\gamma}} = \tilde{\tau}\tilde{\setminus}\{(F_5, A), (F_6, A)\} and
\tilde{\tau}_{{\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}} = \{ \tilde{\phi} , \tilde{X} , (F_2, A) , (F_3, A) , (F_6, A) , (F_7, A) \}.
So, \tilde{\tau}_{(\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'})} = \{ \tilde{\phi} , \tilde{X} , (F_2, A) , (F_3, A) , (F_7, A) \}. Therefore, (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is both soft \tilde{\gamma} - T_{\frac{1}{2}} and soft {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} - T_{\frac{1}{2}} . However, (X, \tilde{\tau}, A) is not soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} , because the soft set P_{e_1}^{a_1} = (F_1, A) is neither soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -closed nor soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open.
Researchers and scientists proposed different approaches to handle problems of uncertainty. Among them, soft set theory has received the attention of the topologists who always seek to generalize and apply the topological notions on different structures.
As a contribution to this area, we have presented and studied the concepts of bioperators \tilde{\gamma} and {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'} on soft topology \tilde{\tau} , and the notion of soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) -open sets. Then, we have defined two soft closure and two soft interior operators, and elucidated the relationships between them. Finally, we have initiated the concepts of soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - g .closed sets and soft (\tilde{\gamma}, {\tilde{\gamma}}^{'}) - T_{\frac{1}{2}} spaces and investigated main properties.
It was investigated in [10] the interchangeable property of soft interior and closure operators between soft sets and and their components. In the upcoming work, we will study, by making use of this property, the transmission of the concepts given herein from soft topology to its parametric topology and vise versa. Also, we will investigate this work in the contents of supra soft topology and fuzzy soft topology.
