A Novel Framework for Generalizations of Soft Open Sets and Its Applications via Soft Topologies

Abstract

Soft topological spaces (STSs) have received a lot of attention recently, and numerous soft topological ideas have been created from differing viewpoints. Herein, we put forth a new class of generalizations of soft open sets called “weakly soft semi-open subsets” following an approach inspired by the components of a soft set. This approach opens the door to reformulating the existing soft topological concepts and examining their behaviors. First, we deliberate the main structural properties of this class and detect its relationships with the previous generalizations with the assistance of suitable counterexamples. In addition, we probe some features that are obtained under some specific stipulations and elucidate the properties of the forgoing generalizations that are missing in this class. Next, we initiate the interior and closure operators with respect to the classes of weakly soft semi-open and weakly soft semi-closed subsets and look at some of their fundamental characteristics. Ultimately, we pursue the concept of weakly soft semi-continuity and furnish some of its descriptions. By a counterexample, we elaborate that some characterizations of soft continuous functions are invalid for weakly soft semi-continuous functions.
