Soft ii-Open Sets in Soft Topological Spaces

Abstract

In the current study, researchers have introduced modern concepts of soft open sets in the spaces of soft topologies named as soft i-open, soft inter-open and soft ii-open sets and they have explained the relations between these concepts and some other concepts such as the soft semi-open and soft α-open sets. They have also used a definition of soft open neighborhood of a point in X to introduce and discuss some applications of soft ii-open sets as soft ii-closure, soft ii-interior, soft ii-exterior, soft ii-border and soft ii-frontier of the soft set. Finally, they gave an example to explain and clarify all mentioned applications.

1. Introduction

The notion of soft set was proposed by Molodtsov, in 1999 (see [1]). After that, the same researcher has applied the concept theory on many different fields and various directions with many other researchers (see [2] [3] [4] [5]). In 2011 and 2012 the notion of soft topological spaces over an initial universe, was studied by many researches (see [6] - [12]). It is known that soft topology is a modern and crucial disciplinary has the ability to the improvement of creative and innovative approaches and new mathematical models that participate in finding solutions of complicated issues in many important sciences. Throughout this study, (X, τ, E) always denotes soft topological space. The concept and the notion of i-open sets in the topological spaces ordinary type were presented by Mohammed, A.A. and Askandar, S.W. in 2012 [13]. These researchers managed to entire these sets together with various generalized open sets concepts. After that, in 2016, the aforementioned results were generalized through the utilization of i-open sets’ notion to present separation axioms i-separation axioms like T oi , T 1i and T 2i . Also, the researchers managed to find the connection between soft i-separation axioms and different notions like semi-separation axioms, and α-separation axioms. Furthermore, the sets of i-star generalized w-closed and i-open in bitopological spaces ( X , τ 1 , τ 2 ) were defined through the utilization of i-open sets the definition which exists in topological space. Also various fundamental relations and properties among these types of groups were introduced. Moreover, the closed sets notion was generalized, by the researchers, to i-generalized closed sets aided by i-open sets and gained topological properties and presented two types of maps known as gi-homeomorphisms and ig-homeomorphisms by examining their properties. However, in this paper, the researches utilize the definitions of i-open sets, α-open sets [14] and semi-open sets [15]. Within the part two 2, the researchers present famous basic concepts and findings of soft topological space and the soft sets’ theory. In Section 3 they will introduce and study soft inter-open, soft i-open and soft ii-open sets’ definitions; then the researchers find its place among some other types of soft open sets as soft semi-open (see [16]) and sets of soft α-open (see [17]) in the soft topological spaces (see Theorems 3.2, 3.5, 3.7, 3.11, 3.12, 3.15, Corollaries 3.4, 3.9, 3.17, 3.20). In Section 4, they initiate and analyze some applications of soft ii-closure, soft ii-open sets as soft ii-interior, soft ii-border, soft ii-frontier and soft ii-exterior of soft sets within the spaces of soft topologies.

1) If there is a soft open set ( G , E ) , X where I n t ( F , E ) = ( G , E ) , then (F, E) is soft Inter-open (in short soft Int-open).

5) [17]. Soft α-open if ( F , E ) ˜ I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ) .

The complement of soft ii-open (resp., soft α-open, soft i-open, soft int-open, and soft semi-open) sets known as soft ii-closed (resp., soft int-closed, soft i-closed, soft semi-closed and soft α-closed) sets. The intersection of all soft ii-closed (resp., soft int-closed, soft i-closed, soft semi-closed and soft α-closed) sets over X containing (F, E) is called the soft ii-closure (resp., soft int-closure, soft i-closure, soft semi-closure and soft α-closure) of (F, E) and denoted by ii-Cl(F, E) (resp., int-Cl(F, E), i-Cl(F, E), s-Cl(F, E) and α-Cl(F, E)).

The union of whole soft ii-open (resp., int-open, i-open, semi-open and α-open) sets over X contained in (F, E) known as a soft ii-interior (resp., int-interior, i-interior, semi-interior and α-interior) of a soft set (F, E) and indicated by ii-Int(F, E) (resp., int-Int(F, E), i-Int(F, E), s-Int(F, E) and α-Int(F, E)). The group of whole soft open (resp., ii-open, int-open, i-open, semi-open and α-open sets),(soft closed, ii-closed, int-closed, i-closed, semi-closed and α-closed) sets in (X, τ, E) are indicated by OS(XE) (resp., IIOS(XE), INTOS(XE), IOS(XE), SOS(XE), αOS(XE), CS(XE), IICS(XE), INTCS(XE), ICS(XE), SCS(XE) and αCS(XE)).

Theorem 3.2: Each soft open set is a soft i-open.

Proof: Consider (G, E) as soft open set in (X, τ, E). It is clear that ( G , E ) ˜ C l ( ( G , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) , then, ( G , E ) ˜ C l ( G , E ) . Hence (G, E) is a soft i-open.?

Example 3.3: Consider X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } .where ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) } .

Consider, “ ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } ”.

C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 } ) } , ϕ E }

Apparently, ( F , E ) is a soft i-open set due to the existence a soft open set ( G , E ) = ( F 1 , E ) where ( G , E ) ˜ C l ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) , yet (F, E) is not soft open.

Corollary 3.4: Every soft closed set is a soft i-closed.

In example (3.3), it is obvious that ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 3 } ) } is a soft i-closed set but is not soft closed.

Theorem 3.5: Each soft semi-open set is a soft i-open.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as a soft semi-open set in (X, τ, E). by Definition (3.1) (4) (b) there exist a soft open set (G, E) where

( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( G , E ) (1)

Since ( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) , then

( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) = ( G , E ) (2)

By (1) and (2) there is, ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) . Therefore, (F, E) considered as a soft i-open set.?

Example 3.6: Consider X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } .

Such that, “ ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } ”.

Consider ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) } .

O S ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , X E } ,

C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 3 } ) } , ϕ E } .

Apparently (F, E) has been considered as a soft i-open set because of the existence of a soft open set ( G , E ) = ( F 1 , E ) wherein ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) , but (F, E) has not been considered soft semi-open.

Theorem 3.7: Each soft α-open set is considered as a soft semi-open.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as soft α-open set in (X, τ, E). In the definitions (3.1) (5) it can be found;

( F , E ) ˜ I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ) = ˜ i ( G i , E ) , ( G i , E ) ˜ C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ”, where ( G i , E ) is a soft open set for all i. Then ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) . Thus, (F, E) is a soft semi-open set.?

Example 3.8: Consider “ X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , ( F 3 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } ”.

Such that ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 3 , x 4 } ) } , ( F 3 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 , x 4 } ) } .

Consider ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } .

O S ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , ( F 3 , E ) , X E } ,

C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } , ( F 3 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 } ) } , ϕ E }

It is apparently that (F, E) considered as a soft semi-open set, yet (F, E) has not been considered a soft α-open because ( F , E ) ˜ ( I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ) = ( F 1 , E ) ) .

Corollary 3.9: Each soft α-open set is a soft i-open.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as a soft α-open set in (X, τ, E). Based on the theory (3.7) it can be said; (F, E) is a soft semi-open. Based on the theory (3.5) we can find (F, E) is a soft i-open set.?

In Example (3.6), we see that ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) } is a soft i-open set, but is not soft α-open because ( F , E ) ˜ ( I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ) = ϕ E ) .

Corollary 3.10: By Theorems (3.2), (3.5) and (3.7), Corollary (3.9) we have the following diagram as shown in Figure 1.

Theorem 3.11: Each soft semi-open set is a soft ii-open.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as a soft semi-open set in (X, τ, E). Based in the theory (3.5), it can be found that (F, E) is a soft i-open. Such that there is a soft open set (G, E) where ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) . Now, we shall prove that I n t ( F , E ) = ( G , E ) . Note that if I n t ( F , E ) ( G , E ) , for each soft open set (G,E). Then, “ C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) C l ( G , E ) ”. From above inclusions, it concludes that “ ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) ”. This means that ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( G , E ) . This is a confliction. Thus, I n t ( F , E ) = ( G , E ) . Therefore, (F, E) has been considered as a soft ii-open set.?

Figure 1. The relation among soft i-open, soft semi-open, soft open, and soft α-open sets.

Theorem 3.12: Each soft open set is a soft ii-open.

Proof: Consider (G, E) as a soft open set in (X, τ, E). Since “ ( G , E ) ˜ C l ( ( G , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) = C l ( G , E ) ”, it follows that (G, E) is a soft i-open set. Also I n t ( G , E ) = ( G , E ) , we have (G, E) is a soft Inter-open. Hence (G, E) is a soft ii-open set.?

Example 3.13: Consider X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } .

Where ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) } .

Consider ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } .

O S ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , X E } ,

C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) } , ϕ E }

Obviously (F, E) considered as soft ii-open set, yet (F, E) could not be a soft open.

Theorem 3.14: Whether (X, τ, E) considered as a soft topological space, therefore (X, IIO(XE), E) is also soft topological space.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as a soft ii-open set, also consider x ˜ ( F , E ) . We will prove the existence of a soft open set, say (G, E) wherein, x ˜ ( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) . As (F, E) considered as soft ii-open set, it pursues that it exists a soft open set ( G , E ) ϕ , X where ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) ) and I n t ( F , E ) = ( G , E ) . Therefore, x ˜ ( F , E ) implies that x ˜ C l ( F , E ) and x ˜ C l ( G , E ) . If (G, E) considered as soft closed set, therefore, x ˜ ( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) and (F, E) can be a soft open set, if (G, E) is not a soft closed. Since x ˜ ( F , E ) implies that x ˜ ( C l ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( G , E ) ) indicates that x ˜ C l ( G , E ) . This creates an opposition. Thus, (F, E) is soft open set. Hence, IIO(XE) satisfies the conditions of soft topology in the Definition (2.17). That means the triple (X, IIO(XE), E) can also be a soft topological space.?

In Example (3.13), I I O ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , ( F , E ) , X } . It is clear that (X, τ, E) and (X, IIO(XE), E) can be a soft topological space.

Theorem 3.15: Each soft α-open set is a soft ii-open.

Proof: Consider (F, E) as a soft α-open set in (X, τ, E). Since ( F , E ) ˜ I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) ) ˜ C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) . Thus, (F, E) can be soft semi-open. By Theorem (3.11) it can be found that (F, E) can be taken as a soft ii-open set.?

Example 3.16: Consider X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , ( F 3 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } . Such that ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 3 , x 4 } ) } , ( F 3 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 , x 4 } ) } . Consider ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 3 , x 4 } ) } . O S ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , ( F 3 , E ) , X E } , C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 , x 4 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } , ( F 3 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 } ) } , ϕ E } . Obviously, (F, E) can be classified as a soft ii-open set not as a soft α-open as ( F , E ) ˜ I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) = ( F 2 , E ) ) .

Corollary 3.17: Each soft α-open set is a soft inter-open.

Proof: Suppose that (F, E) is a soft α-open set. Since each soft α-open set is a soft ii-open (Theorem 3.15) we have (F, E) is a soft ii-open set, and since each soft ii-open set is a soft inter-open (Definition 3.1 (1 and 3)), we have, (F, E) is a soft inter-open set.?

Example 3.18: Consider X = { x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } , τ = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , X E } , E = { e 1 , e 2 } . Such that “ ( F 1 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) } ”. Consider “ ( F , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } ”. O S ( X E ) = { ϕ E , ( F 1 , E ) , ( F 2 , E ) , X E } , C S ( X E ) = { X E , ( F 1 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 , x 3 } ) } , ( F 2 , E ) c = { ( e 1 , { x 1 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 } ) } , ϕ E } .” Obviously (F, E) can’t be soft α-open but it is a soft inter-open, due to the fact that ( F , E ) ˜ I n t ( C l ( I n t ( F , E ) ) = ( F 1 , E ) ) .

Remark 3.19: Each soft ii-open set is a soft i-open, soft inter-open, but the contrary is not true, as viewed in example (3.1.18), we see that ( F L , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 2 } ) } is not soft ii-open but is a soft i-open. Also ( F K , E ) = { ( e 1 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) , ( e 2 , { x 1 , x 2 } ) } is not soft ii-open but a soft inter-open.

Corollary 3.20: By Corollaries (3.9) and (3.17), Theorems (3.11), (3.12), (3.15) we have the following diagram as shown in Figure 2.

4. Some Applications of a Soft ii-Open Sets in the Soft Topological Spaces

Definition 4.1: [3]. Consider (K, E) as a soft set over X, and A is a nonempty subdivision set of X. So, the sub-soft set of (K, E) over A indicated by (AK, E), has been known as A K ( e ) = A K ( e ) , e E . Specifically, ( A K , E ) = A ˜ ( K , E ) .

Definition 4.2: [3] [5]. Consider (F, E) as soft set over X and x X , consider A be a nonempty subset of X. We define:

1) ( F , E ) \ ˜ { x } as follows: ( F , E ) \ ˜ { x } = { F ( e ) \ { x } : e E } .

2) ( F , E ) ˜ A as follows: ( F , E ) ˜ A = { F ( e ) A : e E } .

3) ( F , E ) A if and only if F ( e ) = A , e E .

4) ( F , E ) ˜ { x } as follows: ( F , E ) ˜ { x } = { F ( e ) { x } : e E } .

5) ( F , E ) ˜ { x } as follows: ( F , E ) ˜ { x } = { F ( e ) { x } : e E } .

6) Soft set (F, E) containing a point x X , if x F ( e ) e E .

Definition 4.3: [22]. Consider (G, E) as soft open set in (X, τ, E), e E and x X . It can be said that (G, E) is e-soft open neighbor of x whether x G ( e ) "Further, a soft open set (G, E) can be considered as a soft open neighbor of a point x whether x G ( e ) , e E .

Definition 4.4: Consider (F, E) be a soft set in (X, τ, E). A point x X is said to be a limit point of (F, E), if for each soft open neighborhood (G, E) of x we have ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . In other words A point x X is said to be a limit point of (F, E), if for each soft open set (G, E) containing x we have ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . The set of all limit points of (F, E) is called a derived set of (F, E) and denoted by D(F, E). A soft set (F, E) is a soft closed if D ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) such that D ( F , E ) ˜ F ( e ) , e E .

Definition 4.5: A soft ii-open set (G, E) in (X, τ, E) considered as soft ii-open neighbor of x X if x G ( e ) e E .

Definition 4.6: Consider (F, E) as a soft set in (X, τ, E). A point x X is an ii-limit point of (F, E) whether for every soft ii-open neighborhood (G, E) of x there is ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . In other words, a point x X is an ii-limit point of (F, E) whether every soft ii-open set (G, E) which contain x then there is ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . The set of whole ii-limit points of (F, E) known as ii-derived set of (F, E) indicated by ii-D(F, E). Note that a point x X is not an ii-limit point of (F, E) whether exist a soft ii-open set (G, E) including x where ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . A soft set (F, E) is soft ii-closed if ii- D ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) where ii- D ( F , E ) F ( e ) , e E .

Theorem 4.7: Consider (F, E), (B, E) as 2 soft sets in (X, τ, E), therefore, the next statements hold:

1) ii- D ( F , E ) D ( F , E ) .

2) if ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) , then ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) .

3) a) ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) .

b) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) .

4) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) ) ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .

Proof:

1) As each soft ii-open is a soft open set, it pursue that ii- D ( F , E ) D ( F , E ) .

2) Consider x ii- D ( F , E ) . Then there exist a soft ii-open set (G, E) containing x where ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E (1). As ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) we get ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) . It implies ( F , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } ˜ ( B , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } , from (1) we have ( B , E ) ˜ ( G , E ) \ ˜ { x } E . Therefore, x ii- D ( B , E ) . Hence ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) .

3) a) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) and ( B , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) , from (2) we have ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) and ii- D ( B , E ) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) . This implies to ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) . b) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) and ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) , from (2) we get ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ii- D ( F , E ) and ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ii- D ( B , E ) . Hence ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ii- D ( F , E ) ii- D ( B , E ) .

4) Consider x ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) ) , so regarding a soft ii-open set (G, E) containing x, we have ( G , E ) ˜ ( ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ { x } E . Thus ( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) E or ( G , E ) ˜ ( ii- D ( F , E ) \ ˜ { x } ) E . It follows that ( F , E ) \ ˜ { x } ˜ ( G , E ) E . Hence x ii- D ( F , E ) and in any case, ii- D ( ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) ) ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .?

Theorem 4.8: For any soft set (F, E) in (X, τ, E), ii- C l ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .

Proof: Since ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) and by Theorem (4.7) (2) we have ii- D ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) . Since ii- C l ( F , E ) considered as soft ii-closed set we have ii- D ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) , therefore, ii- D ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) . Hence ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) . On the other hand, consider x ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) . If x ˜ ( F , E ) , this complete the evidence. If x ˜ ( F , E ) , for each soft ii-open set (G, E) that includes x crossroads (F, E) at a point distinct from x, so x ii- D ( F , E ) . Thus, ii- C l ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .?

Theorem 4.9: Consider (F, E), (B, E) be two soft sets in (X, τ, E), so the next phrases hold:

1) ii-Int(F, E) is the union of all soft ii-open subsets of (F, E).

2) (F, E) is soft ii-open if and only if ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) .

3) ii- I n t ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) .

4) ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

5) X E \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( F C , E ) .

6) X E \ ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ii- I n t ( F C , E ) .

7) If ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) , then ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) .

8) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) .

9) ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) .

Proof:

1) Consider { ( G ii , E ) , ii Λ } as a group of whole soft ii-open subdivision sets of (F, E). If x ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) , then there exist j Λ where x ˜ ( G j , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) . Hence x ˜ ˜ ii Λ ( G ii , E ) and so ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ˜ ii Λ ( G ii , E ) . Contradict, if y ˜ ˜ ii Λ ( G ii , E ) , then y ˜ ( G k , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) for some k Λ . Thus y ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) and ˜ ii Λ ( G ii , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) .

2) Straight forward.

3) It pursues from (1) and (2).

4) If x ˜ ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) , then x ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) , so there exist a soft ii-open set (G, E) containing x where ( G , E ) ˜ ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E . Thus, x ˜ ( G , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) and hence x ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . Thus shows ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . Now consider x ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . since ii- I n t ( F , E ) belongs to the group of whole soft open sets in X and ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) , there is x ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) . Therefore, ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

5) Using (4) and Theorem (4.8), we have, X E \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = X E \ ˜ ( ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ) = ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

6) Using (4) and Theorem (4.8) we get: ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) = ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) = X E \ ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) .

7) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) and ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) , ii- I n t ( B , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) , we get ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) .

8) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) and ( B , E ) ˜ ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) , from (7) we get ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) , ii- I n t ( B , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) . Therefore, ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) .

9) Since ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ( F , E ) and ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ( B , E ) , from (7) we get ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) and ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) . Consequently, ii- I n t ( ( F , E ) ˜ ( B , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( B , E ) .?

Definition 4.10: Consider (F, E) as soft set within (X, τ, E). We define the soft ii-border of (F, E) indicated by ii- b ( F , E ) as showed next: ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) .

Theorem 4.11: Consider (F, E) as a soft set in (X, τ, E), therefore the next phrases holds:

1) ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ b ( F , E ) where b(F, E) indicates the soft border of (F, E) and defined as b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ I n t ( F , E ) .

2) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) .

3) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- b ( F , E ) = ϕ E .

4) ii- b ( F , E ) = ϕ E whether and only whether (F, E) considered as soft ii-open set.

5) ii- b ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E .

6) ii- I n t ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E .

7) ii- b ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) = ii- b ( F , E ) .

8) ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

9) ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

Proof:

1) As I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) , there is, ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) \ ˜ I n t ( F , E ) = b ( F , E ) .

2) Straightforward.

3) Straightforward.

4) Since ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) , it follows based on the Theorem (4.9) (2), that (F, E) can be a soft ii-open set whether and only whether ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) whether and only whether 1) ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ϕ E .

5) Since ii- I n t ( F , E ) is a soft ii-open set following from (4) that ii- b ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E .

6) If x ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) , then x ˜ ii- b ( F , E ) . On the other hand, since ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) , x ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . Hence, x ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- b ( F , E ) . Which contradict with (3). Thus ii- I n t ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E .

7) Using (6) we get ii- b ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) = ii- b ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- b ( F , E ) ) = ii- b ( F , E ) .

8) Using Theorem (4.9) (6), we have ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ( X \ ˜ ii- C l ( X ( F , E ) ) ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

9) Applying (8) and Theorem (4.8), we have ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ( X \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- D ( X \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( X \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

Definition 4.12: Consider (F, E) as a soft open in (X, τ, E). We define the soft ii-Frontier of (F, E) indicated thru ii- F r ( F , E ) as pursues: ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) .

Theorem 4.13: Consider (F, E) as a soft set in (X, τ, E), so the next statements hold:

1) ii- F r ( F , E ) ˜ F r ( F , E ) where Fr(F, E) denotes the soft frontier of (F, E) and known as F r ( F , E ) = C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ I n t ( F , E ) .

2) ii- C l ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

3) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) = ϕ E .

4) ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

5) ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .

6) ii- F r ( F , E ) ii- D ( F , E ) whether and only whether (F, E) considered as a soft ii-open.

7) ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

8) ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- F r ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

9) ii- F r ( F , E ) is soft ii-closed set.

10) ii- F r ( ii- F r ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

11) ii- F r ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

12) ii- F r ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

13) ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

Proof:

1) Since ii- C l ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( F , E ) and I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) , it follows that: ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ I n t ( F , E ) = F r ( F , E ) .

2) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) .

3) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ϕ E .

4) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) , we have ii- b ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- F r ( F , E ) .

5) Since ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) , we have ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) .

6) Assume (F, E) considered as soft ii-open. Then utilizing Theorem (4.9) (2) and Theorem (4.11) (4) (9), we have, F r ( F , E ) = ii- b ( F , E ) ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ϕ E ˜ ii- D ( F , E ) \ ˜ ( F , E ) = ii- D ( F , E ) \ ˜ ( F , E ) ii- b ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

Conversely, suppose that ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- b ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) . Then ϕ E = ii- F r ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- b ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ( ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ ( ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . By using (4) and (5) of Theorem (4.9) and so ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) . Since ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ( F , E ) in general, they pursue that ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) . So from Theorem (4.9) (2) (F, E) is considered to be soft ii-open set.

7) ii- F r ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

8) It follows from (7).

9) ii- C l ( ii- F r ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( X E ( F , E ) ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- F r ( F , E ) . Hence ii-Fr(F, E) is soft ii-closed.

10) ii- F r ( ii- F r ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( ii- F r ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( X E \ ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( ii- F r ( F , E ) ) = ii- F r ( F , E ) .

11) Using Theorem (3.2.9) (3), we get ii- F r ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- I n t ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- F r ( F , E ) .

12) Since ( F , E ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) , we have ii- F r ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) = ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- F r ( F , E ) .

13) ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) = ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) \ ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( F , E ) .?

Definition 4.14: Consider (F, E) as soft set within (X, τ, E). We define the soft ii-Exterior of (F, E) indicated by ii- E x t ( F , E ) as: ii- E x t ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

Theorem 4.15: Consider (F, E) as a soft set within (X, τ, E), so next phrases means:

1) E x t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F , E ) where Ext(F, E) denotes the soft exterior of (F, E) and known as E x t ( F , E ) = I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) .

2) ii- E x t ( F , E ) is soft ii-open set.

3) ii- E x t ( F , E ) = ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = X E \ ˜ ii- C l ( F , E ) .

4) ii- E x t ( ii- E x t ( F , E ) ) = ii- I n t ( ii- C l ( F , E ) ) .

5) If ( F 1 , E ) ˜ ( F 2 , E ) , then ii- E x t ( F 2 , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F 1 , E ) .

6) ii- E x t ( ( F 1 , E ) ˜ ( F 2 , E ) ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F 1 , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F 2 , E ) .

7) ii- E x t ( F 1 , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F 2 , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( ( F 1 , E ) ˜ ( F 2 , E ) ) .

8) ii- E x t ( X E ) = ϕ E .

9) ii- E x t ( ϕ E ) = X E .

10) ii- E x t ( F , E ) = ii- E x t ( X E \ ˜ ii- E x t ( F , E ) ) .

11) ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( ii- E x t ( F , E ) ) .

12) X E = ii- I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- E x t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- F r ( F , E ) .

Proof:

1) As I n t ( F , E ) ˜ ii- I n t ( F , E ) , we have, E x t ( F , E ) = I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) ˜ ii- I n t ( X E \ ˜ ( F , E ) ) = ii- E x t ( F , E ) .

2) It follows from Theorem (4.9) (1).

3) It is straightforward by Theorem (4.9) (6).

1) Each soft open set is a soft i-open but the converse is not true.

2) Each soft semi-open set is a soft i-open but the converse is not true.

3) Each soft ii-open set is a soft i-open and a soft inter-open set but the converse is not true.

4) Each soft α-open set is a soft ii-open set which implies to: each soft α-open set is a soft i-open and a soft inter-open set but the converses are not true.
