1 Introduction

In (Siwiec, 1974), the author introduced the notions of weak neighborhoods and weak base in a topological space. We introduced the weak neighborhood systems defined by using the notion of weak neighborhoods in (Min, 2008). The weak neighborhood system induces a weak neighborhood space which is independent of neighborhood spaces (Kent and Min, 2002) and general topological spaces (Csázár, 2002). The notions of weak structure and w-space were investigated in (Kim and Min, 2015). In fact, the set of all g-closed subsets (Levine, 1970) in a topological space is a kind of weak structure. We introduced the notion of gw-closed set in (Min and Kim, 2016a) and some its basic properties. In (Min, 2017), we introduced and studied the notion of weakly gw-closed sets for the sake of extending the notion of gw-closed sets in w-spaces. The purpose of this note is to extend the notion of gw-closed sets in w-spaces in a different way than the notion of weakly gw-closed sets. So, we introduce the new notion of s-weakly gw-closed sets in weak spaces, and investigate its properties. In particular, the relationships among weakly wg-closed sets, w-semi-closed sets and s-weakly g-closed sets are investigated.

2 Preliminaries

Let S be a subset of a topological space X. The closure (resp., interior) of S will be denoted by clS (resp., intS). A subset S of X is called a pre-open (Mashhour et al., 1982) (resp., α -open (Njastad, 1964), semi-open (Levine, 1963)) set if S int ( cl ( S ) ) (resp., S int ( cl ( int ( S ) ) ) , S cl ( int ( S ) ) ) . The complement of a pre-open (resp., α -open, semi-open) set is called a pre-closed (resp., α -closed, semi-closed) set. The family of all pre-open (resp., α -open, semi-open) sets in X will be denoted by PO ( X ) (resp., α ( X ) , SO ( X ) ). The δ -interior of a subset A of X is the union of all regular open sets of X contained in A and it is denoted by δ - int ( A ) (Velicko, 1968). A subset A is called δ - open if A = δ - int ( A ) . The complement of a δ - openset is called δ - closed . The δ - closure of a set A in a space ( X , τ ) is defined by { x X : A int ( cl ( B ) ) , B τ and x B } and it is denoted by δ - cl ( A ) . A subset A of a space ( X , δ ) is said a - open (Ekici, 2008) if A int ( cl ( δ - int ( A ) ) ) and a - closed if A cl ( int ( δ - cl ( A ) ) ) . And A is said ω -open (Ekici and Jafari, 2010) if for every x V , there exists an open subset U X containing x such that U - δ - int ( A ) is countable. The family of all a-open (resp., ω -open) sets in X will be denoted by aO ( X ) (resp., ω O ( X ) ).

A subset A of a topological space ( X , τ ) is said to be:

  1. g-closed (Levine, 1970) if cl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is open in X;

  2. gp-closed (Noiri et al., 1998) if pcl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is open in X;

  3. gs-closed (Arya and Nori, 1990) if scl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is open in X;

  4. g α -closed (Maki et al., 1994) if τ α cl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is α -open in X where τ α = α ( X ) ;

And the complement of a g-closed (resp., gp-closed, gs-closed, g α -closed) set is called a g-open (resp., gp-open, gs-open, g α -open) set. The family of all g-open (resp., gp-open sets, gs-open, g α -open) sets in X will be denoted by GO ( X ) (resp., GPO ( X ) , GSO ( X ) , G α O ( X ) ).

Let X be a nonempty set. A subfamily w X of the power set P ( X ) is called a weak structure (Kim and Min, 2015) on X if it satisfies the following:

  • w X and X w X .

  • For U 1 , U 2 w X , U 1 U 2 w X .

Then the pair ( X , w X ) is called a w-space on X. Then V w X is called a w-open set and the complement of a w-open set is a w-closed set.

Then the family τ , α ( X ) , GO ( X ) , aO ( X ) , ω O ( X ) and g α O ( X ) are all weak structures on X. But PO ( X ) , SO ( X ) , GPO ( X ) and GSO ( X ) are not weak structures on X.

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. For a subset A of X, the w-closure of A and the w-interior (Kim and Min, 2015) of A are defined as follows:

  • wC ( A ) = { F : A F , X - F w X } .

  • wI ( A ) = { U : U A , U w X } .

Theorem 2.1

[Kim and Min, 2015] Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X .

  • x wI ( A ) if and only if there exists an element U W ( x ) such that U A .

  • x wC ( A ) if and only if A V for all V W ( x ) .

  • If A B , then wI ( A ) wI ( B ) ; wC ( A ) wC ( B ) .

  • wC ( X - A ) = X - wI ( A ) ; wI ( X - A ) = X - wC ( A ) .

  • If A is w-closed (resp., w-open), then wC ( A ) = A (resp., wI ( A ) = A ).

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is called a generalized w-closed set (simply, gw-closed set) (Min and Kim, 2016a) if wC ( A ) U , whenever A U and U is w-open. If the w X -structure is a topology, the generalized w-closed set is exactly a generalized closed set in sense of Levine in (Levine, 1970). Obviously, every w-closed set is generalized w-closed, but in general, the converse is not true.

And A is called a weakly generalized w-closed set (simply, weakly gw-closed set) (Min, 2017) if wC ( wI ( A ) ) U whenever A U and U is w-open. Obviously, every gw-closed set is weakly gw-closed. In (Min, 2017), we showed that every w-pre-closed set (Min and Kim, 2016b) is weakly gw-closed.

3 Main results

Now, we introduce an extended notion of gw-closed sets in w-spaces as the following:

Definition 3.1

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is said to be s-weakly generalized w-closed (simply, s-weakly gw-closed) if wI ( wC ( A ) ) U whenever A U and U is w-open.

Obviously, the next theorem is obtained:

Theorem 3.2

Every gw-closed set is s-weakly g-closed.

Remark 3.3

In general, the converse of the above theorem is not true. Furthermore, there is no any relation between s-weakly gw-closed sets and weakly gw-closed sets as shown in the examples below:

Example 3.4

Let X = { a , b , c } and w = { , { a } , { b } , X } be a weak structure in X. For a w-open set A = { b } , note that wI ( A ) = A , wC ( A ) = { b , c } and wI ( wC ( A ) ) = wI ( { b , c } ) = A . So A is s-weakly gw-closed but not gw-closed. And since wC ( wI ( A ) ) = { b , c } , A is also not weakly gw-closed.

Example 3.5

For X = { a , b , c , d } , let w = { , { d } , { a , b } , { a , b , c } , X } be a structure in X. Consider A = { a } . Then since wI ( A ) = , obviously A is weakly gw-closed. For a w-open set U = { a , b } with A U , wI ( wC ( A ) ) = wI ( { a , b , c } ) = { a , b , c } U . So A is not s-weakly gw-closed.

In general, the intersection as well as the union of two s-weakly gw-closed sets is not s-weakly gw-closed as shown in the next examples:

Example 3.6

For X = { a , b , c , d } , let w = { , { a } , { b } , { c } , { a , c } , { a , c , d } , X } be a weak structure in X.

  • Let us consider A = { a } and B = { c } . Note that wI ( wC ( A ) ) = wI ( { a , d } ) = A , wI ( wC ( B ) ) = wI ( { c , d } ) = B and wI ( wC ( A B ) ) = wI ( { a , c , d } ) = { a , c , d } . Then we know that A and B are all s-weakly gw-closed sets but the union A B is not s-weakly gw-closed.

  • Consider two s-weakly gw-closed sets A = { a , b , c } and B = { a , c , d } . Then A B = { a , c } is not s-weakly gw-closed in the above (1).

Theorem 3.7

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then every w-semi-closed set is s-weakly gw-closed.

Proof

Let A be a w-semi-closed set and U be a w-open set containing A. Since wI ( wC ( A ) ) A , obviously it satisfies wI ( wC ( A ) ) U . It implies that A is s-weakly gw-closed. □

Remark 3.8

In (2) of Example 3.6, the s-weakly gw-closed set A = { a , b , c } is not w-semi-closed. So, the converse of the above theorem is not always true.

From the above theorems and examples, the following relations are obtained:

Let X be a nonempty set. Then a family m ( P ( X ) ) of subsets of X is called a minimal structure (Maki, 1996) if , X m .

Theorem 3.9

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then the family of all s-weakly gw-closed sets is a minimal structure in X.

Lemma 3.10

[Kim and Min, 2015] Let ( X , w τ ) be a w-space and A , B X . Then the following things hold:

  • (1) wI ( A ) wI ( B ) = wI ( A B ) .

  • (2) wC ( A ) wC ( B ) = wC ( A B ) .

Let X be a w-space and A X . Then A is said to be w-semi-open (resp., w-semi-closed) (Min and Kim, 2016c) if A wC ( wI ( A ) ) (resp., wI ( wC ( A ) ) A ).

Lemma 3.11

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then for A X , A wI ( wC ( A ) ) is w-semi-closed.

Proof

From Lemma 3.10 and Theorem 2.1, wI ( wC ( A wI ( wC ( A ) ) ) ) = wI ( wC ( A ) wC ( wI ( wC ( A ) ) ) ) = wI ( wC ( A ) ) A wI ( wC ( A ) ) .

So, A wI ( wC ( A ) ) is w-semi-closed. □

Lemma 3.12

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . If F is any w-semi-closed set such that A F , then A wI ( wC ( A ) ) F .

Proof

Let F be a w-semi-closed set with A F . Then wI ( wC ( A ) ) wI ( wC ( F ) ) F , and so A wI ( wC ( A ) ) F .  □

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. For A X , the w-semi-closure (Min and Kim, 2016c) of A, denoted by wsC ( A ) , is defined as:

wsC ( A ) = { F X : A F , F is w - semi - closed in X } .

Theorem 3.13

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then for A X , wsC ( A ) = A wI ( wC ( A ) ) .

Proof

It is obtained from Lemma 3.11 and Lemma 3.12. □

Finally, we have the following theorem:

Theorem 3.14

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is s-weakly wg-closed if and only if wsC ( A ) U whenever A U and U is w-open.

Proof

Let A be an s-weakly gw-closed subset of X and let U be any w-open set such that A U . Then wI ( wC ( A ) ) U and A wI ( wC ( A ) ) U . So, by Theorem 3.13, wsC ( A ) U .

For A X , suppose that wsC ( A ) U whenever A U and U is w-open. Let U be any w-open set with A U . Then from hypothesis and Theorem 3.13, wI ( wC ( A ) ) A wI ( wC ( A ) ) = wsC ( A ) U . Hence, A is s-weakly gw-closed. □

Recall that: Let X be a topological space and A X . Then A is call a gs-closed set (Arya and Nori, 1990) if scl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is open.

Theorem 3.15

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . If w X is a topology, then the following thing hold: A is gs-closed if and only if int ( cl ( A ) ) U whenever A U and U is open.

Proof

From scl ( A ) = A int ( cl ( A ) ) , scl ( A ) U whenever A U and U is open if and only if int ( cl ( A ) ) U whenever A U and U is open. So, this theorem is obtained. □

Theorem 3.16

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set, then wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A contains no any non-empty w-closed set.

Proof

For an s-weakly gw-closed set A, let F be a w-closed subset such that F wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A . Then A X - F and X - F is w-open. Since A is s-weakly gw-closed, wI ( wC ( A ) ) X - F . From the facts, F X - wI ( wC ( A ) ) and F wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A , and so F = .  □

In general, the converse in Theorem 3.16 is not true as shown in the next example.

Example 3.17

Let X = { a , b , c , d } and a weak structure w = { , { a } , { b } , { a , c } , { a , b , c } , X } in X. For A = { a } , wI ( wC ( A ) ) = int ( { a , c , d } ) = { a , c } and wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A = { c } . So, we know that there is no any nonempty w-closed set contained in wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A . But A is not s-weakly gw-closed.

Corollary 3.18

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set, then wsC ( A ) - A contains no any non-empty w-closed set.

Proof

Since wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A = ( A wI ( wC ( A ) ) ) - A = wsC ( A ) - A , by Theorem 3.16, the statement is satisfied. □

Theorem 3.19

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set and A B wsC ( A ) , then B is s-weakly gw-closed.

Proof

Let U be any w-open set such that B U . By hypothesis, obviously wsC ( B ) = wsC ( A ) . Since A is s-weakly gw-closed and A U , wsC ( B ) = wsC ( A ) U . So B is s-weakly gw-closed. □

Corollary 3.20

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set and A B wI ( wC ( A ) ) , then B is s-weakly gw-closed.

Proof

From A B wI ( wC ( A ) ) , A B A wI ( wC ( A ) ) = wsC ( A ) . By Theorem 3.19, the corollary is obtained. □

From now on, we introduce the notion of s-weakly gw-open sets and study its basic properties.

Definition 3.21

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is called an s-weakly generalized open set (simply, s-weakly gw-open set) if X - A is s-weakly gw-closed.

Theorem 3.22

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is s-weakly gw-open if and only if F wC ( wI ( A ) ) whenever F A and F is w-closed.

Proof

Obvious. □

From Theorem 3.13, the following is easily obtained:

Theorem 3.23

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then for A X , wsI ( A ) = A wC ( wI ( A ) ) .

Theorem 3.24

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then A is s-weakly gw-open if and only if F wsI ( A ) whenever F A and F is w-closed.

Proof

For an s-weakly gw-open subset A of X, let F be a w-closed set such that F A . Then F wC ( wI ( A ) ) . Since F A wC ( wI ( A ) ) , by Theorem 3.23, F wsI ( A ) .

For A X , suppose that F wsI ( A ) whenever F A and F is w-closed. If F is any w-closed set and F A , then by hypothesis and Theorem 3.23, F wsI ( A ) = A wC ( wI ( A ) ) , and so F wC ( wI ( A ) ) . Hence, A is s-weakly gw-open. □

Theorem 3.25

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then if A is s-weakly gw-open, then U = X , whenever wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) U and U is w-open.

Proof

Let U be any w-open set and wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) U . Then X - U ( X - wC ( wI ( A ) ) ) A = wI ( wC ( X - A ) ) A = wI ( wC ( X - A ) ) - ( X - A ) . Since X - A is s-weakly gw-closed, by Theorem 3.16, the w-closed set X - U must be empty. Hence, U = X .  □

Corollary 3.26

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space and A X . Then if A is s-weakly gw-open, then U = X , whenever wsI ( A ) ( X - A ) U and U is w-open.

Proof

Since wsI ( A ) ( X - A ) = ( A wC ( wI ( A ) ) ) ( X - A ) , by the above theorem, it is obtained. □

Theorem 3.27

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-open set and wC ( wI ( A ) ) B A , then B is s-weakly gw-open.

Proof

It is similar to the proof of Theorem 3.19 and Corollary 3.20. □

Theorem 3.28

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set, then wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A is s-weakly gw-open.

Proof

If A is an s-weakly gw-closed set, then by Theorem 3.12, is the only one w-closed subset of wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A . So, wC ( wI ( wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A ) ) . Hence, wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A is s-weakly gw-open. □

Corollary 3.29

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-closed set, then wsC ( A ) - A is s-weakly gw-open.

Proof

From wsC ( A ) - A = ( A wI ( wC ( A ) ) ) - A = wI ( wC ( A ) ) - A , it is obtained. □

Theorem 3.30

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-open set, then wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) is s-weakly gw-closed.

Proof

If A is an s-weakly gw-open set, then by Theorem 3.25, X is the only one w-open set containing wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) . So, obviously, wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) is s-weakly gw-closed. □

Corollary 3.31

Let ( X , w X ) be a w-space. Then if A is an s-weakly gw-open set, then wsI ( A ) ( X - A ) is s-weakly gw-closed.

Proof

It follows from wsI ( A ) ( X - A ) = ( A wC ( wI ( A ) ) ) ( X - A ) = wC ( wI ( A ) ) ( X - A ) and Theorem 3.30. □
