SOME RESULTS ON (δ-PRE, s)-CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS ADEM KILIC¸ MAN AND ZABIDIN SALLEH Received 7 September 2005; Revised 2 May 2006; Accepted 7 May 2006 We study some properties of (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions. Basic characterizations and several properties concerning (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions are studied. The general cases for the composition of functions under specific conditions which yield (δ-pre, s)- continuous functions are also studied and we obtained some results.

Introduction One of the important and basic topics in general topology and several branches of math- ematics which have been researched by many authors is the continuity of functions. In this paper, we study (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions as a new weaker form of continu- ity. In 1996, Dontchev [3] introduced contra-continuous functions, and Jafari and Noiri [10] introduced contra-precontinuous functions (in 2002). Ekici [8] studied the notion of almost contra-precontinuous functions. Recently, Ekici [7] introduced and studied the notion of (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions as a new weaker form of almost contra- precontinuous functions. The aim of this paper is to study some properties of (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions and modification of the results due to Ekici [7]. Basic charac- terizations concerning (δ-pre, s)-continuous functions are investigated and some results are obtained. Moreover, we obtain some properties in general cases concerning composi- tion of functions under specific conditions, where the composition would yield a (δ-pre, s)-continuous function. Finally, if given a composition of functions, which are (δ-pre, s)-continuous, we obtain the first function in the composition, which will be (δ-pre, s)- continuous. 2. Preliminaries Throughout this paper, all spaces X and Y (or (X , τ ) and (Y, υ)) are always mean topo- logical spaces. Let A be a subset of a space X . For a subset A of
