Box 80203, Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Correspondence should be addressed to M. Athar, atharkharal@ Received 29 September 2007; Revised 3 February 2008; Accepted 21 April 2008 ¨ Recommended by Eyke Hullermeier We present several properties of fuzzy boundary and fuzzy semiboundary which have been supported by examples. Properties of fuzzy semi-interior, fuzzy semiclosure, fuzzy boundary, and fuzzy semiboundary have been obtained in product-related spaces. We give necessary conditions for fuzzy continuous (resp., fuzzy semicontinuous, fuzzy irresolute) functions. Moreover, fuzzy continuous (resp., fuzzy semicontinuous, fuzzy irresolute) functions have been characterized via fuzzy-derived (resp., fuzzy- semiderived) sets. Copyright © 2008 M. Athar and B.

INTRODUCTION general properties of fuzzy spaces. Several properties of fuzzy semiopen (resp., fuzzy semiclosed), fuzzy regular open (resp., After Zadeh’s [ 1] introduction of fuzzy sets, Chang [2] closed) sets have been discussed. Mo
