DIMENSION THEORY AND FUZZY TOPOLOGICAL SPACES S. S. BENCHALLI, B. M. ITTANAGI, AND P. G. PATIL Received 27 September 2005; Revised 10 May 2006; Accepted 30 May 2006 J. M. Aarts introduced and studied a new dimension function, Hind, in 1975 and obtained several results on this function. In this paper, a new local inductive dimension function called local huge inductive dimension function denoted by locHind is introduced and studied. Furthermore, an effort is made to introduce and study dimension functions for fuzzy topological spaces. It has been possible to introduce and study the small inductive dimension function indf X and large inductive dimension function Indf X for a fuzzy topological space X .

Introduction In Section 2, a new local dimension function called local huge inductive dimension func- tion denoted by locHind is introduced and studied. Its relationship with other local di- mension functions is established. A closed subset theorem and an open subset theorem are obtained for the local huge inductive dimension function. Further it is also proved that the local huge inductive dimension function coincides with the huge inductive di- mension function for the class of weakly paracompact totally normal spaces. The concept of a fuzzy subset was introduced and studied by Zadeh [9] and the con- cept of fuzzy topological spaces by Chang [2]. Many mathematicians have contributed to the development of fuzzy topological spaces. In Section 3, two inductive types of dimension functions for fuzzy topological spaces have been introduced and studied. Several results have been obtained. It is observed that such dimensions are integers and not fractions. 2. A new local dimension function for topological spaces The following definition is due to Aarts [ 1]. Definition 2.1 [1]. The huge inductive dimension function Hind is defined for every hereditarily normal s
