  1. INTRODUCTION

Topology is a branch of mathematics concerned with generalization of the concepts of continuity [1]. In 1847, Johann Benedict Listing introduce the term topology, although he had used term Analysis Situs for the past few years. Krakowski and Vaidyanathaswamy introduced the subject of ideal in topological spaces for almost half a century ago, they motivated many researchers in applying topological ideals to generate other concepts and obtain properties that are analogous to the basic properties in general topology [2]. In 1990, Jankovic and Hamlett obtained a new topology using old ones and introduced the notion of ideal topological spaces [3]. They introduced the concept of I-open sets in ideal topological spaces in 1992, their work initialized the application of topological ideals in the generalization of most fundamental properties in general topology [4]. Levine introduced the concept of generalized closed sets briefly, g-closed sets and studied their most fundamental properties in topological spaces [5]. In 2008, Akdag introduced the notion of θ-I-open sets in ideal topo- logical space. Yuksel, Acikgos, and Noori define and introduce the concept of δ-I-closed sets and its complement [6]. This paper has great contribution in the field of mathematics particularly in topology by applying the notion of δˆ θ𝓧-open and δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets in ideal topological space. This paper can also be a good reading material and it can offer additional knowledge and information about δˆ θ𝓧-sets in ideal topological space. To the mathematics enthusiasts and researchers, they could use the results of this paper as a guide and can be a reference to their study in the field of topology [7]. In addition, recommendation is provided to give direction for future studies. This study focused on introducing a new class of sets in ideal topological space, namely δˆ θ𝓧-closed and open sets. It determined the relationship between these new classes of sets and some other known type of sets ideal topological space. The sets considered are the following; δ-I-closed sets, δˆ-closed sets, θ-I-closed sets, δˆ s-closed sets and δ-I-open sets in ideal topo- logical space [8]. It also determined and established some basic properties of these new class of sets in ideal topological space such as containment and countable union of δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets. For further investigation, the researcher will be dealing the concept of σ-closure of a set, θ-I-closure of a set, and δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets. In this paper, the researcher introduced and investigated the notion of the new class of sets, namely δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets in ideal topological spaces. Moreover, the researcher investigated the relationship of δˆ θ𝓧-sets to some known class of sets in ideal topological spaces. This study investigated the concept of δˆ θ𝓧-sets in ideal topological spaces. Specifically, it aimed to: Define and establish some properties of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set and δˆ θ𝓧-open set in ideal topological spaces; and introduce and investigate its relationship to some other type of sets in ideal topological spaces.

  1. MATERIALS AND METHODS

This presents the concepts that is needed in this study. Some examples are provided for clear understanding of the given concepts.

Definition 01 (J. Dugundji 1975) Let X be a nonempty set. A collection τ of subsets of X is a topology on X if it satisfies the following:

  • ∅, X ∈ τ
  • {Mω|ω ∈ Ω} ⊆ τ implies tω∈Ω Mω ∈ τ
  • A, B ∈ τ implies that A ∩ B ∈ τ

If τ is a topology on X, then (X, τ) is called a topological space, and the elements of τ are called τ-open sets or simply open sets. A subset F of X is said to be τ-closed sets or simply closed sets if its complement X\F is open.

The closed subsets of a topological space satisfy the following properties:

(C1) ∅ and X are closed sets

(C2) Finite union of closed sets are closed

(C3) Arbitrary intersections of closed sets are closed

Example 02 Consider the following classes of subsets of X = {a, b, c, d, e} τ1 = {X, ∅, {a}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d, e}}

τ2 = {X, ∅, {a}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}, {a, b, d, e}}

Observe that τ1 is a topology on X, since it satisfies the necessary axioms (i), (ii), and (iii). But τ2 is not a topology on X since, the union of the set

{a, c, d} ∪ {b, c, d} = {a, b, c, d} does not belong to τ2. Hence, τ2 does not satisfy (ii).

Definition 03 The interior of A, denoted by int(A), is the union of all open sets contained in A. That is, int(A) = t {U ∈ τ: U ⊆ A}. Since the arbitrary union of open sets is open, we have the following remark.

Remark 04 Let (X, τ) be a topological space and A ⊆ X. Then,

  • int(A) is open and,
  • int(A) is the largest open set contained in A.

Example 05 Consider the topology τ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d, e}} on X = {a, b, c, d, e}, and the subset of A = {b, c, d} of X. The point c and d are the interior points of A, since c, d ∈ {c, d} ⊂ A where {c, d} is an open set.

Definition 06 The closure of A, denoted by cl(A), is the intersection of all closed supersets of A. In other words, if {Fi: i ∈ I} is a collection of closed subsets of X containing A, then cl(A) = ui Fi.

Example 07 Consider the topology

τ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d, e}} on X = {a, b, c, d, e} where the closed

subsets of X are ∅, X, {b, c, d, e}, {a, b, e}, {b, e} and {a}. Suppose A = {b}, then the closure of A is cl(A) = cl({b}) = {b, c, d, e} ∩ {a, b, e} ∩ {b, e}. Therefore, the closure of A is {b, e}.

Definition 08 (Kuratowski, 1996) An ideal 𝓧 on a set X is a nonempty collection of subsets of X which satisfies the following:

  • A ∈ 𝓧 and B ⊆ A implies B ∈ 𝓧; and
  • A ∈ 𝓧 and B ∈ 𝓧 implies A ∪ B ∈ 𝓧

Note that because of (i), ∅ is always a member of an ideal 𝓧. In this context the symbol 𝓧(X) is denoted an ideal 𝓧 on a set X.

Definition 09 (Kuratowski, 1996) An ideal topological space is a topological space (X, τ) with an ideal 𝓧 on X and is denoted by (X, τ, 𝓧).

Definition 10 (Jankovic & Hamlett, 1990) For every ideal topological

space (X, τ, 𝓧), there exists a topology τ٨(𝓧, τ), called the ٨-topology, generated by the base;

B (𝓧, τ) = {U\I|U ∈ τ and I ∈ 𝓧}.

Note that the family τ٨(B (𝓧, τ) that consists of ∅, X, and all unions of members of B (𝓧, τ) is a topology on X.

Example 11 Let X = {a, b, c, d},

τ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}}, 𝓧 = {∅. {a}} and let U ∈ τ. From Definition 10, U ∈ τ and ∅ ∈ 𝓧 implies U\∅ ∈ B (𝓧, τ). Also, U ∈ τ and {a} ∈ 𝓧 implies U\{a} ∈ B (𝓧, τ). Note that U\∅ are the sets

X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}; and U\{a} are the sets ∅, {c}, {c, d}

and {b, c, d}. Hence, B (𝓧, τ) = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}}, and so

τ٨(B (𝓧, τ) = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}},

For brevity the researcher writes τ٨ for τ٨(𝓧, τ) or τ٨(B (𝓧, τ)) and denote the interior and closure of A in (X, τ٨) as int٨(A) and cl٨(A), respectively.

Definition 12 (Velichko, 1968) A subset A of X in ideal topological space

θ

(X, τ, 𝓧) is called θ-I-closed set if A = cl٨(A), where

θ

cl٨(A) = {x ∈ X: cl٨(U) ∩ A /= ∅, for each U ∈ τ and x ∈ U}.

The complement of θ-I-closed set is called θ-I-open set.

Example 13 Consider the ideal topological space in Example 11. Note that

τ٨ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}}

τ٨-closed= {∅, X, {b, c, d}, {a, b, d}, {b, d}, {a, b}, {b}, {a}}.

Suppose A = {a} then for x = {a} and U({a}) = {a}, {a, c}, {a, c, d}and X. It

θ

follows that, cl٨({a}) ∩{a} = {a}, cl٨({a, c}) ∩{a} = {a}, cl٨({a, c, d}) ∩{a} = {a}, cl٨(X) ∩ {a} = {a}.

Since {a} satisfies the condition. Hence, it is a member of cl٨(A). Now, for x = {b}, U({b}) = {b, c, d} and X. It follows that,

θ

cl٨({b, c, d}) ∩ {a} = ∅.

Since {b} does not satisfy the condition. Hence, it is not a member of cl٨(A). For x = {c}, U({c}) = {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d} and X. Now, cl٨({c}) ∩ {a} = ∅.

Since one member of U({c}) does not satisfy the condition, so {c} is not a member of cl٨(A). For x = {d},

U({d}) = {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d} and X. It follows that, cl٨({c, d}) ∩ {a} = ∅.

Hence, {d} is not a member of cl٨(A). Thus, cl٨(A) = cl٨({a}) = {a} = A.

θ             θ             θ

Therefore, A = {a} is θ-I-closed sets. Similarly, X, ∅, {a} and {b, c, d} are the

θ-I-closed sets and ∅, X, {b, c, d} and {a} are the θ-I-open sets.

In 2008, Akdag established the notion of θ-I-open sets and θ-closed sets. He found out that θ-I-open satisfy the arbitrary union and finite intersection and established a theorem that τθ ⊆ τθ−I ⊆ τ ⊆ τ٨ and so it has a following remark:

Remark 14 Since τθ ⊆ τθ−I ⊆ τ, the following are true;

θ

  • intθ(A) ⊆ int٨(A) ⊆ int(A) ⊆ int٨(A) ⊆ A

θ

  • A ⊆ cl٨(A) ⊆ cl(A) ⊆ cl٨(A) ⊆ clθ(A)

On 2015, Navaneethakrishnan et al. introduced the notion of δˆ-closed sets. Some of its known results that can be used in the development of this paper are the following:

Definition 15 A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ, 𝓧) is called δˆ-closed if σcl(A) ⊂ U whenever A ⊂ U and U is open set.

Theorem 16 Every θ-I-closed set is δˆ-closed set.

Theorem 17 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space and A ⊆ X.  If A ⊆ B ⊆ σcl(A) then, σcl(A) = σcl(B).

Yuksel et al. established the concept of δ-I-closed set that if σcl(A) = A then A is δ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). Moreover, they obtained the following;

Lemma 18 Let A and B be subsets of an ideal topological space (X, τ, 𝓧). Then, the following properties hold.

 A ⊆ σcl(A)

  • If A ⊂ B, then σcl(A) ⊂ σcl(B)
  • σcl(A) = u {F ⊂ X|A ⊂ F and F is δ-I-closed}
  • If A is δ-I-closed set of X for each α ∈ ∆, then u {Aα|α ∈ ∆} is δ-I-closed
  • σcl(A) is δ-I-closed.

The main purpose of this study is to define and introduce the new class of sets which are δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets and δˆ θ𝓧-open sets in ideal topological space. First the researcher defined δˆ θ𝓧-closed set and δˆ θ𝓧-open set in ideal topological space by applying the concept of σ-closure and provide examples on it. After that, the researcher studied and established some of the basic properties of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set and δˆ θ𝓧-open set in ideal topological space. Lastly δˆ θ𝓧-closed set and δˆ θ𝓧-open set are being compared to some other known type of sets in ideal topological spaces namely; δ-I-closed sets, δˆ-closed sets, θ-I-closed sets, δˆ s-closed sets, δ-I-open sets in (X, τ, 𝓧) and established theorems that δˆ θ𝓧-closed set is bigger than those being compared.  The researcher established some basic properties of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and investigated the relationship of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) to some other known type of closed sets in (X, τ, 𝓧).

δˆ θ𝓧 -Closed Set

Definition 19 A subset A of X in (X, τ, 𝓧) is called a σcl(A) ⊆ U, whenever A ⊆ U and U is θ-I-open.

δˆ θI-closed set if

Example 20 Consider the ideal topological space in Example 11. Note that, τ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}}. Now, τ-closed are X, ∅,

{b, c, d}, {a, b, d}, {b, d}, {a, b}, {b} and {a}. From Example 13,

τ٨ = {X, ∅, {a}, {c}, {a, c}, {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}}

and θ-I-open sets are X, ∅, {b, c, d} and {a}. Then τ٨-closed are X, ∅, {b, c, d}

, {a, b, d}, {b, d}, {a, b}, {b}, {a} and θ-I-closed sets are X, ∅, {a} and {b, c, d}. Suppose A = {a}, then σcl(A) = {x ∈ X:int (cl٨(U)) ∩ A /= ∅, for each open set U(x)} that is for x = {a}, U({a}) = {a}, {a, c}, {a, c, d} and X.

Now, int(cl٨({a})) ∩ {a} = {a} ∩ {a} = {a} =/             ∅,

Int (cl٨({a, c})) ∩ {a} = X ∩ {a} = {a} =/

Int (cl٨({a, c, d})) ∩{a} = X∩{a} = {a} =/

∅, int(cl٨(X)) ∩{a} = X∩{a} = {a} =/             ∅.

Since {a} satisfies the condition to all U(x), then {a} is a member of σcl(A).

For x = {b}, U({b}) = {b, c, d} and X. Now,

Int (cl٨({b, c, d})) ∩ {a} = {b, c, d} ∩ {a} = ∅. Since {b} does not satisfy the condition. Hence, {b} is not a member of σcl(A). For x = {c},

U({c}) = {c}, {a, c}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d} and X. Now,

int(cl٨({c})) ∩ {a} = {b, c, d} ∩ {a} = ∅. Since {c} does not meet the condition, it means that {c} is not a member of σcl(A). For x = {d},

U({d}) = {c, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d} and X. Now,

Int (cl٨({c, d})) ∩ {a} = {b, c, d} ∩ {a} = ∅. Since {d} does not satisfy the necessary condition, so {d} is not a σcl(A). Hence, for A = {a} the σcl(A) = {a}. It follows that σcl(A) = σcl({a}) = {a} ⊆ {a}, {a, c}, X. Therefore, {a} is

δˆ θI-closed. Similarly, δˆ θ𝓧-closed sets are X, ∅, {a}, {b}, {d}, {a, b}, {a, d}, {b, c},

{b, d}, {c, d}, {a, b, c}, {a, b, d}, {a, c, d} and {b, c, d}.

Theorem 21 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If A is δˆ θ𝓧 -closed subset of X and A ⊆ B ⊆ σcl(A), then B is also δˆ θ𝓧 -closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and U be θ-I-open set such B ⊆ U. Since A is δˆ θ𝓧-closed set, then σcl(A) ⊆ U and A ⊆ U. Now, by Theorem 2.17, A ⊆ B ⊆ σcl(A) implies σcl(A) = σcl(B). Thus, σcl(B) ⊆ U. Therefore, B is δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).    □

Remark 22 The converse of the above theorem need not be true as shown in the following example.

Example 23 Let X = {a, b, c, d}, A = {a, c}, B = {a, c, d} then

Σcl ({a, c}) = X. Now, {a, c} ⊆ {a, c, d} ⊆ X. But {a, c} is not δˆ θ𝓧-closed set.

Theorem 24 let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If A is δˆθ𝓧 -closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧), then σcl(A) − A does not contain any non-empty θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). Suppose F be a nonempty θ-I- closed set such that F ⊆ σcl(A)−A. Then, F ⊆ σcl(A)∩ (X −A) which implies F ⊆ σcl(A) and F ⊆ X−A. By definition of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set σcl(A) ⊆ X−F such that A ⊆ X − F where X − F is θ-I-open set. It implies that F ⊆ X − σcl(A). Since F ⊆ σcl(A) and F ⊆ X − σcl(A), it follows that

F ⊆ σcl(A) ∩ (X − σcl(A)) = ∅. Thus F = ∅, which is a contradiction. Therefore, σcl(A) − A does not contain any nonempty θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).             □

Remark 25 The inverse of the above theorem is not always true as shown in the following example.

Example 26 Let X = {a, b, c, d}, A = {c}, then σcl(A) −A = {b, c, d} −{c} = {b, d}, does not contain any non-empty θ-I-closed. But A is not δˆθ𝓧-closed set.

Theorem 27 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If {Ai: i ∈ I} be a collection of θ-I-open sets in (X, τ, 𝓧), then t Ai is θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).i∈I

Proof. Let {Ai: i ∈ I} be a family of θ-I-open sets in (X, τ, 𝓧). By definition of

θ-I-open set int٨(Ai) = Ai, hence int٨ (tAi) = t int٨(Ai) = t Ai. Therefore,

i∈I

t Ai is θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).    □

i∈I

Theorem 28 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If {Ai: i ∈ I} is a collection of δˆ θ𝓧 -closed sets in (X, τ, 𝓧), then t Ai is δˆ θ𝓧 -closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

i∈I

Proof. Let Ai be δˆ θ𝓧-closed set for all i ∈ I. Then σcl (Ai) ⊆ Ui where Ui is any θ-I-open set such that Ai ⊆ Ui for each i ∈ I. Note that, Ai ⊆ Ui implies t Ai ⊆ t Ui and by Theorem 3.9, t Ui is θ-I-open. Now,

i∈I

σcl ( tAi) ⊆ t σcl(Ai) ⊆ t Ui.              Therefore, t Ai is δˆ θ − 𝓧-closed set in

Remark 29 The finite intersection of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is not always δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) as shown in the following example.

Example 30 From Example 41 the set {a, b, c} and {a, c, d} are both

δˆθ𝓧-closed set but {a, c, d} ∩ {a, b, c} = {a, c} is not δˆ θ𝓧-closed set.

Theorem 31 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then every

δ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be δ-I-closed set and U be any θ-I-open set containing A. Since A is δ-I-closed, σcl(A) = A for every subset A of X. It follows that σcl(A) ⊆ U. Hence, A is δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).    □

Remark 32 The converse of the above theorem need not be true as shown in the following example.

Example 33 From Example 20, δ-I-closed are X, ∅, {a}, {b, d}, {a, b, d},

{b, c, d}. Now, {a, c, d} is δˆ θI-closed set but not δ-I-closed.

Theorem 34 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then σcl(A) is δˆ θ𝓧 -closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let U be any θ-I-open set containing σcl (A) such that σcl(A) ⊆ U. By Lemma 18 (v) σcl(A) is δ-I-closed in (X, τ, 𝓧). And so, by Theorem 31, σcl(A) is δˆθ𝓧-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).      □

Theorem 35 Every θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is open in (X, τ).

Proof. Let A be an θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧). Then by definition of θ-I-open, int٨(A) = A. It follows that, A = int٨(A) ⊆ int(A) by Remark 14. Note that

θ

int(A) ⊆ A, and so int(A) = A. Thus, A is open set in (X, τ). □

Theorem 36 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then every

δˆ-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be a δˆ-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and U be any θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) such that A ⊆ U. Then, by Theorem 35, U is open in (X, τ) such that A ⊆ U. Since A is δˆ-closed set, σcl(A) ⊆ U whenever A ⊆ U and U is open set. It follows that A is δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). □

Remark 37 The converse of Theorem 36 is not always true as shown in the following example.

Example 38 From Example 20, δˆ-closed sets are X, ∅, {a}, {b}, {d}, {a, b},

{b, c}, {b, d}, {a, b, c}, {a, b, d}, {b, c, d}. The set {a, d} is δˆ θI-closed but not

δˆ-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Theorem 39 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then every

θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). By Theorem 16 A is δˆ-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). Then by Theorem 36 A is also δˆ θI-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).               □

Remark 40 The converse of Theorem 39 need not be true as shown in the following example.

Example 41 From the Example 20 δˆ θI-closed sets is X, ∅, {a}, {b}, {d},

{a, b}, {a, d}, {b, c}, {b, d}, {c, d}, {a, b, c}, {a, b, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}.          Now, the set

{a, b, c} is δˆ θI-closed but not θ-I-closed set.

Theorem 42 Every θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is semi-open in (X, τ).

Proof. Let A be an θ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧). Then, by definition of θ-I-open, A = int٨(A).

It follows that A = int٨ ⊆ int(A) ⊆ cl(A) ⊆ cl(int(A)) by Remark

θ

2.14.  Since A is θ-I-open, A is open in (X, τ) by Theorem 35 and so

A = int(A). Thus, A ⊆ int(cl(A)). Hence, A is semi-open set in (X, τ).   □

Theorem 43 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then every

δˆ s-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is δˆ θI -closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be a δˆ s-closed set and U be any θ-I-open set containing A. By Theorem 42, U is also a semi-open in (X, τ, 𝓧) such that A ⊆ U. Since A is δˆs-closed set, σcl (A) ⊆ U. It follows that A is δˆ θ𝓧-closed set.

Remark 44 The converse of the above theorem need not be true as shown in the following example.

Example 45 From the Example 20, δˆ s-closed set are

X, ∅, {a}, {b, d}, {a, b, d}, {b, c, d}. The set {b, c} is δˆ θ𝓧-closed but not δˆ s-closed.

This presents some basic properties of δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and established the relationship with some other known type of open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Definition 46 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space and A ⊆ X. Then

A is called δˆ θ𝓧-open set if its complement is δˆ θ𝓧-closed set.

Example 47 From Example 41, The set {a} is δˆ θ𝓧-closed. And so

{a}c = {b, c, d}. Thus {b, c, d} is δˆ θ𝓧-open set. The complement of δˆ θ𝓧-closed in Example 20 is δˆ θ𝓧-open which are ∅, X, {b, c, d}, {a, c, d}, {a, b, c}, {c, d}, {b, c},

{a, d}, {a, c}, {a, b}, {d}, {c}, {b} and {a}.

Theorem 48 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. A subset A of X is

δˆ θ𝓧 -open set if and only if U ⊆ σint(A), whenever U ⊆ A and U is θ𝓧-closed.

Proof. Let A be a δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and U be θ-I-closed where U ⊆ A. Note that X − A is δˆ θ𝓧-closed and X − U is θ-I-open where X − A ⊆ X − U. By Definition 19, σcl (X − A) ⊆ X − U and so X − σint(A) ⊆ X − U which implies U ⊆ σint(A). Conversely, suppose U ⊆ σint(A) where U ⊆ A and U is θ-I-closed. Then, X − σint(A) ⊆ X − U and it implies that σcl (X − A) ⊆ X − U. Note that X − U is θ-I-open and X − A ⊆ X − U. Hence, X − A is δˆ θ𝓧-closed set and so A is δˆ θ𝓧-open set.         □

Theorem 49 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal space and A ⊆ X. If A is δˆ θ𝓧 -open and σint(A) ⊆ B ⊆ A, then B is δˆ θ𝓧 -open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) and U be θ-I-closed set such that

U ⊆ B. Since A is δˆ θ𝓧-open set, then U ⊆ σint(A) and U ⊆ A. Note

that σint(A) ⊆ B ⊆ A implies σcl (Ac) ⊇ B c ⊇ Ac and so by Theorem 2.17, σcl (Ac) = σcl (B c). It follows that σint(A) = σint(B) and hence σint(B) ⊇ U. Therefore, B is δˆ θ𝓧 in (X, τ, 𝓧).                □

Theorem 50 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If Ai is θ-I-closed for each i ∈ I, then u Ai is θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧) i∈I

Proof. Let {Ai: i ∈ I} be a family of θ-I-closed sets in (X, τ, 𝓧). By definition

of θ-I-closed set Ai = cl٨(Ai), hence u Ai = u cl٨(Ai) = cl٨ (uAi). Therefore,

                       θ i∈I θi ∈I θi∈I

u Ai is θ-I-closed set in (X, τ, 𝓧). i∈I

Theorem 51 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. If {Ai: i ∈ I} is a collection of δˆ θ𝓧 -open set in (X, τ, 𝓧), then u Ai is δˆ θ𝓧 -open set in (X, τ, 𝓧). i∈I

Proof. Let Ai be

δˆ θ𝓧-open set for each i ∈ I.       Then Ui ⊆ σint (Ai) where

Ui is any θ-I-closed set such that Ui ⊆ Ai for each i ∈ I. It follows that

u Ui ⊆ u σint (Ai) and u Ui ⊆ u Ai where u Ui is θ-I-closed by Theorem

i∈I

Remark 52 The arbitrary union of δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is not always

δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) as shown in the following example.

Example 53 The complement of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set an Example 41 are δˆ θ𝓧-open sets. The set {b} and {d} are δˆ θ𝓧-open sets but {b} ∪ {d} = {b, d} is not δˆ θ𝓧-open set.

Theorem 54 Let (X, τ, 𝓧) be an ideal topological space. Then every δ-I-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧) is δˆ θ𝓧 -open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).

Proof. Let A be δ-I-open set and U be any θ-I-closed set such that U ⊆ A. Since A is δ-I-open by its definition, A = σint(A) for every subset A of X. It follows that U ⊆ σint(A). Hence, A is δˆ θ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧).            □

Remark 55 The converse of the above theorem need not be true as shown in the following example.

Example 56 Consider the δˆ θ𝓧-open set an Example 3.29. The set {a, b, c} is δˆ θ𝓧-open but not δ-I-open.

  1. CONCLUSION

The researcher investigated the notion of δˆ θ𝓧-closed set in ideal topological space. It was proven that the countable union of δˆθ𝓧-closed sets is δˆθ𝓧-closed set. The complement of δˆθ𝓧-closed set is known as δˆθ𝓧-open set in (X, τ, 𝓧). The characterization of δˆθ𝓧-open set was proven. Moreover, the researcher established the relationship of δˆθ𝓧-closed sets to some other known type of closed sets in ideal topological space. Some of the basic properties of δˆθ𝓧-closed and δˆθ𝓧-open sets were also investigated in this paper.

  1. RECOMMENDATIONS

Investigate δˆ θ𝓧-connectedness, compactness and separation of axioms, Introduce and investigate δˆ θ𝓧-sets in other type of spaces namely;  ideal ditopological space, ideal supra topological space and fuzzy ideal topological space.
