The relationships and properties of sA∗I -sets and sCI -sets are investigated. Furthermore, decompositions of sA∗I -continuous functions via sA∗I -sets and sCI -sets in ideal topological spaces are provided. Throughout this paper (X, τ ) and (Y, σ) (or simply X and Y) denote topological spaces on which no separation axioms are assumed unless explicitly stated. For a subset A of a space X, the closure and interior of A with respect to τ are denoted by cl(A) and int(A) respectively. An ideal I on a topological space (X, τ ) is a nonempty collection of subsets of X which satisfies 1. A∈I and B⊆A⇒B∈I and 2. A∈I and B∈I⇒A∪B∈I [15]. If I is an ideal on X and X∈I, / then ̥ = {X\G : G∈I} is a filter [13]. Given a topological space (X, τ ) with an ideal I on X and if ℘(X) is the set of all subsets of X, a set operator (.)∗ : ℘(X)→℘(X), called a local function [15] of A with respect to τ and I, is defined as follows: for A⊆X, A∗ (I,τ )={x∈X | U∩A∈I / for every U∈τ (x)} where τ (x)={U∈τ | x∈U}. A Kuratowski closure operator cl∗ (.) for a topology τ ∗ (I,τ ), called the ⋆-topology, finer than τ is defined by cl∗ (A)=A∪A∗ (I,τ ) [13]. When there is no chance for confusion, we will simply write A∗ for A∗ (I,τ ) and τ ∗ for τ ∗ (I,τ ). int∗ (A) will denote the interior of A in (X, τ ∗ ). (X, τ, I) is called an ideal topological space or an ideal space. ∗ Citation: K. Banumathi, R. Premkumar, O.

[13] The ⋆-topology is generated by τ and by the filter ̥. Also the family {H ∩ G : H ∈τ , G∈̥} is a basis for this topology. Lemma 1.2. [12] Let A be a subset of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I). If N is open, then N ∩ cl∗ (A) ⊆ cl∗ (N ∩ A). Definition 1.3. A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is said to be 1. pre-I-open [3] if A ⊆ int(cl∗ (A)). 2. semi-I-open [10] if A ⊆ cl∗ (int(A)). 3. α-I-open [10] if A ⊆ int(cl∗ (int(A))). 4. strongly β-I-open [11] if A ⊆ cl∗ (int(cl∗ (A))). 5. ⋆-dense [4] if cl∗ (A) = X. 6. t-I-set [10] if int(A) = int(cl∗ (A)). 7. semi∗ -I-open [7, 8] if A ⊆ cl(int∗ (A)). The family of all semi-I-open (resp. α-I-open, pre-I-open) sets in an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is denoted by SIO(X) (resp. αIO(X), PIO(X)). Remark 1.4. [7] For several subsets defined above, we have the following implications. pre-I-open set −→ strongly β-I-open set ↑ ↑ open set −→ α-I-open set −→ semi-I-open set The reverse implications are not true. Lemma 1.5. [8] Every semi-I-open set is semi∗ -I-open in an ideal topological space. Remark 1.6. The reverse implication of the above Lemma is not true in general as shown in [8]. Definition 1.7. The complement of a pre-I-open (resp. semi-I-open, α-I-open, semi∗ -I-open) set is called pre-I-closed [3](resp. semi-I-closed [10], α-I-closed [10], semi∗ -I-closed [7, 8]). Definition 1.8. [8] The pre-I-closure of a subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), denoted by pI cl(A), is defined as the intersection of all pre-I-closed sets of X containing A. Lemma 1.9. [8] For a subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), pI cl(A) = A ∪ cl(int∗ (A)). Lemma 1.10. [6] For a subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), pI int(A) = A∩int(cl∗ (A)) and pI int(X\A) = X\pI cl(A). Definition 1.11. A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is said to be 44 South Asian J. Math. Vol. 7 No. 1 1. an ηζ-set [16] if A = L ∩ M, where L is open and M is clopen in X. 2. locally closed [2] if A = L ∩ M, where L is open and M is closed in X. 3. semi-I-regular [14] if A is a t-I-set and semi-I-open in X. Definition 1.12. [9] An ideal space (X, τ , I) is called I-submaximal if every ⋆-dense subset of X is open in X. Definition 1.13. [7] An ideal space (X, τ , I) is said to be ⋆-extremally disconnected if ⋆-closure of every open subset A of X is open. Theorem 1.14. [9] For a subset A of an I-submaximal ideal space (X, τ , I), the following are equivalent: 1. A is semi-I-open, 2. A is strongly β-I-open. Definition 1.15. [6] A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is called pre-I-regular if A is pre-I-open and pre-I-closed in (X, τ , I). Definition 1.16. [5, 6] A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is called A∗I -set if A = L ∩ M, where L is an open and M = cl(int*(M)) . Definition 1.17. [6] Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and K ⊆ X. K is said to be 1. a C∗I -set if K = L ∩ M, where L is an open set and M is a pre-I-regular set in X. 2. a CI -set if K = L ∩ M, where L is an open set and M is a pre-I-closed set in X. 3. an ηI -set if K = L ∩ M, where L is an open set and M is an α-I-closed set in X. Remark 1.18. [6] Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and K ⊆ X. The following diagram holds for K. These implications are not reversible in general. C∗I -set ⇒ CI -set ⇑ A∗I -set ⇒ ηI -set Lemma 1.19. [1] Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space. A subset A of X is α-I-open if and only if it is semi-I-open and pre-I-open. Proposition 1.20. [1] Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space. If V ∈ PIO(X) and A ∈ αIO(X), then V ∩ A ∈ PIO(X). Theorem 1.21. [6] A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is semi∗ -I-closed if and only if A is a t-I-set. Definition 1.22. Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and A ⊆ X. A is said to be 45 K. Banumathi, et al: sA∗I -sets and decomposition of sA∗I -continuity 1. an αCI∗ -set [17] if A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ αIO(X) and M is a pre-I-regular set in X. 2. an ABI -set [14] if A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ τ and M is semi-I-regular set in X. Theorem 1.23. [17] Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space. Then each αCI∗ -set in X is a pre-I-open but not conversely. Remark 1.24. [17] In an ideal topological space, every α-I-open set and every pre-I-regular set is an αCI∗ -set. The converses are not true in general. sA∗I -sets and sCI -sets 2 Definition 2.1. A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is said to be 1. an sCI -set if A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ SIO(X) and M is a pre-I-closed set in X. 2. an sηI -set if A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ SIO(X) and M is an α-I-closed set in X. 3. an sA∗I -set if A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ SIO(X) and M = cl(int∗ (M)). Remark 2.2. Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and A ⊆ X. The following diagram holds for A. CI∗ -set −→ ↓ αCI∗ -set CI -set ↓ −→ sCI -set ↑ A∗I -set −→ sA∗I -set −→ sηI -set ←− ηI -set The following Examples show that these implications are not reversible in general. Example 2.3. Let X = {a, b, c, d}, τ = {∅, X, {a}, {b}, {a, b}, {a, b, c}} and I = {∅}. Then {a, b, d} is αCI∗ -set but not an CI∗ -set. Example 2.4. In Example 2.3, {a, d} is sCI -set but not an CI -set. Example 2.5. In Example 2.3, {a, d} is sηI -set but not an ηI -set. Example 2.6. In Example 2.3, {a, b, d} is sA∗I -set but not an A∗I -set. Example 2.7. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a}, {a, b}} and I = {∅}. Then {c} is sηI -set but not an sA∗I -set. Example 2.8. In Example 2.3, {c} is sCI -set but not an αCI∗ -set. Example 2.9. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a, b}} and I = {∅}. Then {a} is sCI -set but not an sηI -set. 46 South Asian J. Math. Vol. 7 No. 1 Theorem 2.10. For a subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), the following properties are equivalent. 1. A is an sCI -set and a semi∗ -I-open set in X. 2. A = L ∩ cl(int∗ (A)) for a semi-I-open set L. Proof. (1) ⇒ (2): Suppose that A is an sCI -set and a semi∗ -I-open set in X. Since A is sCI -set, then we have A = L ∩ M, where L ∈ SIO(X) and M is a pre-I-closed set in X. We have A ⊆ M, so cl(int∗ (A)) ⊆ cl(int∗ (M)). Since M is a pre-I-closed set in X, we have cl(int∗ (M)) ⊆ M. Since A is a semi∗ -I-open set in X, We have A ⊆ cl(int∗ (A)). It follows that A = A ∩ cl(int∗ (A))=L ∩ M ∩ cl(int∗ (A)) = L ∩ cl(int∗ (A)). (2) ⇒ (1): Let A = L ∩ cl(int∗ (A)) for a semi-I-open set L. We have A ⊆ cl(int∗ (A)). It follows that A is a semi∗ -I-open set in X. Since cl(int∗ (A)) is a closed set, then cl(int∗ (A)) is a pre-I-closed set in X. Hence, A is an sCI -set in X. Theorem 2.11. Let (X, τ , I) be I-submaximal and ⋆-extremally disconnected ideal space. For a subset A of (X, τ , I), the following properties are equivalent. 1. A is an sA∗I -set in X. 2. A is an sηI -set and a semi∗ -I-open set in X. 3. A is an sCI -set and a semi∗ -I-open set in X. Proof. (1) ⇒ (2): Suppose that A is an sA∗I -set in X. It follows that A = L ∩ M, where L is a semi-Iopen set and M = cl(int∗ (M)). This implies A = L ∩ M = L ∩ cl(int∗ (M)) ⊆ cl∗ (int(L)) ∩ cl(int∗ (M)) ⊆ cl(int∗ (L)) ∩ cl(int∗ (M)) ⊆ cl(int∗ (L) ∩ int∗ (M)) = cl(int∗ (L ∩ M)) = cl(int∗ (A)). Thus A ⊆ cl(int∗ (A)) and hence A is a semi∗ -I-open set in X. Moreover, Remark 2.2, A is an sηI -set in X. (2) ⇒ (3): It follows from the fact that every sηI -set is an sCI -set in X by Remark 2.2. (3) ⇒ (1): Suppose that A is an sCI -set and a semi∗ -I-open set in X. By Theorem 2.10, A = L ∩ cl(int∗ (A)) for a semi-I-open set L. We have cl(int∗ (cl(int∗ (A)))) = cl(int∗ (A)). It follows that A is an sA∗I -set in X. Remark 2.12. 1. The notions of sηI -set and semi∗ -I-open set are independent of each other. 2. The notions of sCI -set and semi∗ -I-open set are independent of each other. Example 2.13. 1. In Example 2.3, {c, d} is sCI -set as well as sηI -set but not a semi∗ -I-open set. 2. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a}} and I = {∅, {a}}. Then {a, c} is semi∗ -I-open set but it is neither sCI -set nor sηI -set. Theorem 2.14. Let (X, τ , I) be an I-submaximal space and A ⊆ X. The following properties are equivalent. 1. A is an α-I-open set. 2. A is a strongly β-I-open set and an αCI∗ -set. 47 K. Banumathi, et al: sA∗I -sets and decomposition of sA∗I -continuity 3. A is a strongly β-I-open set and a pre-I-open set. Proof. (1) ⇒ (2): It is obvious. (2) ⇒ (3): It follows from the fact that every αCI∗ -set is a pre-I-open set by Theorem 1.23. (3) ⇒ (1): It follows from Theorem 1.14 and Lemma 1.19. Definition 2.15. A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is said to be sgpI -open if N ⊆ pI int(A) whenever N ⊆ A and N is a semi-I-closed set in X. Definition 2.16. A subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) is said to be semi-generalized pre-Iclosed (sgpI -closed) in X if X \ A is sgpI -open. Theorem 2.17. For a subset A of an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), A is sgpI -closed if and only if pI cl(A) ⊆ N whenever A ⊆ N and N is a semi-I-open set in (X, τ , I). Proof. Let A be an sgpI -closed set in X. Suppose that A ⊆ N and N is a semi-I-open set in (X, τ , I). Then X \ A is sgpI -open and X \ N ⊆ X \ A where X \ N is semi-I-closed. Since X \ A is sgpI -open, then we have X \ N ⊆ pI int(X \ A), where pI int(X \ A) = (X \ A) ∩ int(cl∗ (X \ A)). By Lemma 1.10, pI cl(A) ⊆ N. The converse is similar. Theorem 2.18. Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and V ⊆ X. Then V is an sCI -set in X if and only if V = G ∩ pI cl(V) for a semi-I-open set G in X. Proof. It is similar to Theorem 32 of [6]. Theorem 2.19. Let (X, τ , I) be an ideal topological space and A ⊆ X. The following properties are equivalent. 1. A is a pre-I-closed set in X. 2. A is an sCI -set and an sgpI -closed set in X. Proof. (1) ⇒ (2): It follows from the fact that any pre-I-closed set in X is an sCI -set and an sgpI -closed set in X. (2) ⇒ (1): Suppose that A is an sCI -set and an sgpI -closed set in X. Since A is an sCI -set, then by Theorem 2.18, A = G ∩ pI cl(A) for a semi-I-open set G in (X, τ , I). Since A ⊆ G and A is sgpI -closed set in X, then pI cl(A) ⊆ G. It follows that pI cl(A) ⊆ G ∩ pI cl(A) = A. Thus, A = pI cl(A) and hence A is pre-I-closed. 3 Further properties Theorem 3.1. [9] For an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), then the following properties are equivalent. 1. X is I-submaximal. 2. Every pre-I-open set is open. 48 South Asian J. Math. Vol. 7 No. 1 3. Every pre-I-open set is semi-I-open and every α-I-open set is open. Theorem 3.2. In an I-submaximal ideal space (X, τ , I), the following property holds. Any αCI∗ -set is an ABI -set. Proof. Suppose that A is an αCI∗ -set in X. It follows that A = L ∩ M, where L is an α-I-open set and M is a pre-I-regular set in X. By Theorem 3.1, M is semi-I-open and semi-I-closed. It follows from Lemma 1.5 that M is semi-I-open and semi∗ -I-closed. By Theorem 1.21, M is semi-I-open and a t-I-set in X. Hence M is semi-I-regular set. Thus, A is an ABI -set in X. Theorem 3.3. [9] For an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), if X is I-submaximal and ⋆-extremally disconnected, the following are equivalent for a subset A ⊆ X: 1. A is strongly β-I-open, 2. A is semi-I-open, 3. A is pre-I-open, 4. A is α-I-open, 5. A is open. Theorem 3.4. For an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), if X is I-submaximal and ⋆-extremally disconnected, the following properties holds. 1. Any αCI∗ -set is an ηζ-set. 2. Any sηI -set is a locally closed set. Proof. It follows from the above Theorem. Definition 3.5. [8] An ideal space (X, τ , I) is said to be ⋆-hyperconnected if A is ⋆-dense for every open subset A 6= φ of X. Theorem 3.6. [8] The following properties are equivalent for an ideal topological space (X, τ , I) . 1. X is ⋆-hyperconnected. 2. A is ⋆-dense for every strongly β-I-open subset φ 6= A ⊆ X. Theorem 3.7. For an ideal topological space (X, τ , I), the following properties are equivalent. 1. (X, τ , I) is ⋆-hyperconnected. 2. any αCI∗ -set in X is ⋆-dense. Proof. (1) ⇒ (2): Let A be an αCI∗ -set in X. By Theorem 1.23, A is pre-I-open. By Remark 1.4, A is strongly β-I-open set. Since (X, τ , I) is a ⋆-hyperconnected ideal topological space, then by Theorem 3.6, A is ⋆-dense. (2) ⇒ (1): Suppose that any αCI∗ -set in (X, τ , I) is ⋆-dense in X. Since an open set A in X is an α-Iopen set and every α-I-open set A is an αCI∗ -set, then A is ⋆-dense. Thus, (X, τ , I) is ⋆-hyperconnected. 49 K. Banumathi, et al: sA∗I -sets and decomposition of sA∗I -continuity Decompositions of sA∗I -continuity 4 Definition 4.1. A function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ) is said to be 1. pre-I-continuous [3] if f−1 (A) is a pre-I-open set in X for every open set A in Y. 2. αCI∗ -continuous [17] if f−1 (A) is an αCI∗ -set in X for every open set A in Y. 3. PRI -continuous [6] if f−1 (A) is a pre-I-regular set in X for every open set A in Y. Remark 4.2. For a function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ), the following diagram holds.

Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q and f(c) = r is pre-I-continuous but not αCI∗ -continuous. Example 4.4. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a}}, I = {∅, {a}}, Y = {p, q, r}, σ = {∅, Y, {p}} and J = {∅, {p}}. Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q and f(c) = r is αCI∗ -continuous but not PRI -continuous. Definition 4.5. A function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ) is said to be 1. sCI -continuous if f−1 (A) is an sCI -set in X for every open set A in Y. 2. sA∗I -continuous if f−1 (A) is an sA∗I -set in X for every open set A in Y. 3. sηI -continuous if f−1 (A) is an sηI -set in X for every open set A in Y. 4. A∗I -continuous [6] if f−1 (A) is an A∗I -set in X for every open set A in Y. Remark 4.6. For a function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ), the following diagram holds. The reverses of these implications are not true in general as shown in the following Examples. sCI -continuity ←− αCI∗ -continuity ↑ sηI -continuity ←− sA∗I -continuity ←− A∗I -continuity Example 4.7. Let X = {a, b, c, d}, τ = {∅, X, {a}, {b}, {a, b}, {a, b, c}}, I = {∅}, Y = {p, q, r, s}, σ = {∅, Y, {p}, {q}, {p, q}, {p, q, s}} and J = {∅}. Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q, f(c) = r and f(d) = s is sA∗I -continuous but not A∗I -continuous. 50 South Asian J. Math. Vol. 7 No. 1 Example 4.8. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a}, {a, b}}, I = {∅}, Y = {p, q, r}, σ = {∅, Y, {q}, {r}, {q, r}} and J = {∅}. Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q and f(c) = r is sηI -continuous but not sA∗I -continuous. Example 4.9.

Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q, f(c) = r and f(d) = s is sCI -continuous but not αCI∗ -continuous. Example 4.10. Let X = {a, b, c}, τ = {∅, X, {a, b}}, I = {∅}, Y = {p, q, r}, σ = {∅, Y, {p}, {q, r}} and J = {∅}. Then the function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ, J ) defined by f(a) = p, f(b) = q and f(c) = r is sCI -continuous but not sηI -continuous. Definition 4.11. [6] A function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ) is said to be semi∗ -I-continuous if f−1 (V) is a semi∗ -I-open set in X for every open set V in Y. Theorem 4.12. Let (X, τ , I) be I-submaximal and ⋆-extremally disconnected ideal space. The following properties are equivalent for a function f : (X, τ , I) → (Y, σ): 1. f is sA∗I -continuous. 2. f is sηI -continuous and semi∗ -I-continuous. 3. f is sCI -continuous and semi∗ -I-continuous.
