We define the ??-closure operator as a new topological operator. We show that ??-closure of a subset of a topological space is strictly between its usual closure and its ?-closure. Moreover, we give several sufficient conditions for the equivalence between ??-closure and usual closure operators, and between ??-closure and ?-closure operators. Also, we use the ??-closure operator to introduce ??-open sets as a new class of sets and we prove that this class of sets lies strictly between the class of open sets and the class of ?-open sets. We investigate ??-open sets, in particular, we obtain a product theorem and several mapping theorems. Moreover, we introduce ?-T2 as a new separation axiom by utilizing ?-open sets, we prove that the class of !-T2 is strictly between the class of T2 topological spaces and the class of T1 topological spaces. We study relationship between ?-T2 and ?-regularity. As main results of this paper, we give a characterization of ?-T2 via ??-closure and we give characterizations of ?-regularity via ??-closure and via ??-open sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
