Abstract. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new topology with the help
of a-open sets. For this job, we shall de…ne two new types of set and discuss
its properties in detail and characterize Njastad’s -open sets and Levine’s
semi-open sets through these new types of set.
1. Introduction
The study of ideal in topological space was introduced and studied by Kuratowski
[15] and Vaidyanathaswamy [22] but in this study Jankovic and Hamlett gave a new
dimension through their paper “New topologies from old via ideals" [14]. Now a
days the authors like Navaneethakrishnan et al. [19], Hamlett and Jankovic [12],
Arenas et al. [4], Nasef and Mahmoud [18], Mukherjee et al. [17] Dontchev et al.
[6] and many others have enriched this study. The authors Al-Omari et al. [1, 2]
in their papers “a-local function and its properties in ideal topological spaces" and
“The <a operator in ideal topological spaces", have studied Ekici’s [7, 8, 9] a-open
sets in terms of ideals. They have obtained a new topology with the help of two
operators viz. <a and ()a , and have shown that this topology is …ner than Ekici’s
a - topology.
In this paper, we have further considered the space which is the joint venture of
a-topology and an ideal as like Al-omari et al. have considered in [2, 1]. Through
this paper we will solve the question “how much …ner is Noiri’s et al.’s topology
than Ekici’s topology?" For solution of this question we have considered Njastad’s
-open sets [20] from literature.
2. Preliminaries
In this section we have discussed some preliminary concepts of literature and
introduce some prime results for discussing the paper.
Let A be a subset of a topological space (X; ), then ‘Int(A)’and ‘Cl(A)’will
denote ‘interior of A’and ‘closure of A’respectively.

We de…ne following as a mathematical tool for this research article:
De…nition 1. Let A be a subset of a topological space (X; ). A is said to be
regular open [21] (resp. semi-open [16, 11], semi-pre open [3], -open [20]) if A =
Int(Cl(A)) (resp. A Cl(Int(A)); A Cl(Int(Cl(A))); A Int(Cl(Int(A)))).
De…nition 2. [23] A subset A of a topological space (X; ) is said to be -open if,
for each x 2 A, there exists a regular open set G such that x 2 G A.
The complement of -open set is called -closed. Let (X; ) be a topological
space, then the point x 2 X is called -cluster point of A if Int(Cl(V )) \ A 6= ;,
for each open set V containing x.
The -closure of A is denoted as Cl (A) [23] and it is a set of all -cluster point
of A. In this regards, Int (A) [23] is the -interior of A and it is the union of all
regular open sets of (X; ) contained in A. If Int (A) = A for a topological space
(X; ), then A is -open and conversely [23]. It is remarkable that the collection of
all -open sets in a topological space (X; ) forms a topology and it is denoted as
[23].
De…nition 3. [8, 9, 10] A subset A of (X; ) is said to be a-open (resp. a-closed)
if A Int(Cl(Int (A))) (resp. Cl(Int(Cl (A))) A).
The family of a-open sets in (X; ) forms a topology on X. This collection is
denoted as a [8], and a (x) is denoted as the collection of all a-open sets containing
x.
In this paper we also denote ‘aCl’ by the means of closure operator of Ekici’s
a topology [7, 8].
Hereditary class and a-local function are also the mathematical tool for this
paper:
De…nition 4. [15] A collection I }(X) is said to be an ideal on X if B
implies B 2 I and A; B 2 I implies A [ B 2 I.
A2I
Let I be an ideal on the topological space (X; ), then (X; ; I) is called an ideal
topological space.
According to Al-Omari et al. [2, 1], we give the following:
The a-local function ()a : }(X) ! }(X) for a subset A of an ideal topological
space (X; ; I) is de…ned as (A)a = fx 2 X : U \ A 2
= I; for every U 2 a (x)g,
a
and as like complement operator of () , <a : }(X) ! }(X) is de…ned as <a (A) =
X n (X n A)a = fx 2 X : there exists Ux 2 a (x) such that Ux n A 2 Ig.
Due to the operator ()a , we have a topology a [1] whose one of the basis is
(I; ) = fV n I : V 2 a ; I 2 Ig [1]. In this respect, we will denote ‘Inta ’and
‘Cla ’as ‘interior’operator and ‘closure’operator of (X; a ) respectively.
Following results help us for repairing the paper:

Corollary 2. Let A be a subset of an ideal topological space (X; ; I), then aInt(A)
<a (A).
Theorem 3. [1] Let A be a subset of an ideal topological space (X; ; I) with

inclusion, let x 2 aCl(O). Therefore all neighbourhoods Ux 2 a (x), Ux \ O 6= ;
implies Ux \ O 2
= I, since a \ I = ;. Therefore x 2 (O)a . Hence (O)a = aCl(O).
Conversely let O 2 a , (O)a = aCl(O). Then X a = X and this implies
I \ a = ; [2].
Proposition 6. Let (X; ; I) be an ideal topological space with
following hold:
(1) For A X, <a (A) aInt(aCl(A)).
(2) For a-closed subset A; <a (A) A.
(3) For A X; aInt(aCl(A)) = <a (aInt(aCl(A))).
(4) For any a -regular open subset A; A = <a (A).
(5) For any O 2 a ; <a (O) aInt(aCl(O)) (O)a .

\ I = ;. Then
Proof. (1) From Theorem 3, <a (A)
(A)a . Then <a (A)
aCl(A), and since
<a (A) is open, <a (A) aInt(aCl(A)).
(3) <a (aInt(aCl(A)))
(aInt(aCl(A))a = aCl(aInt(aCl(A))) (from Lemma
5) aCl(A). Thus <a (aInt(aCl(A))) aInt(aCl(A)).
Reverse inclusion: aInt(aCl(A)) <a (aInt(aCl(A))) (from Theorem 1).
Thus aInt(aCl(A)) = <a (aInt(aCl(A))).
