ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the concepts of -compact space, -compact subspace and
countably -compact space via -open sets like wise to investigate their relationships to other well known types of
compactness.
KEYWORDS: -Open, -Compact, Countably -Compact
1. INTRODUCTION
Compactness plays an important role in general topology and so many authors have been discussed and
introduced weak and strong forms of compactness. In 1981, semi-compactness was studied and investigated by
Dorselt [10] and several new and interesting results have been found. In 1976, Thompson [29] defined the concept of
S-closed spaces and gave several properties about this space. Mathur [21] established several properties and relations
between compact and S-closed spaces. The class of countably S-closed space was introduced by Dlaska [5] Recently, the
authors introduced the concept of -open and -continuity [16]. The main purpose of this paper to introduce the notation
of -compact space. we give some characterizations of -compact spaces by using filers and investigate its relation with
other types of compactness and define countably -compact. In the last section, we give important characterizations about
-compact subspaces and -sets.

(resp., - closed, pre- closed, regular closed) set. A subset A of topological space is called -open (resp., -open)

semi-open set such that (resp., ). A set is called semi-regular [6], if it is both

3. CHARACTERIZATIONS OF COMPACT SPACES
Definition 3.1: A filter base in a topological space -converges (resp., converges) to a point
, if for every open set containing , there exists an such that (resp., ).
Definition 3.2: A filter base in a topological space -accumulates (resp., accumulates) to a
point , if (resp., ) for every open set containing and every .
It is clear from the above definitions that, if a filter base converges (resp., accumulates) to a point in a
topological space, then it is converges (resp., accumulates) to the same point.
In the following example, we see that a filter base is convergent which is not -convergent and
accumulates which is not -accumulates.
Example 3.3: Consider with topology and let
, }. Then is convergent to but it is not -convergent to , because is -open
set containing and there is no an such that .
Example 3.4: Consider the space given in Example 3.3 and let , }. then is
accumulates to the point but it is not accumulates to , because is as -open set containing and
there is , such that .
Remark 3.5: If a filter base is convergent to a point in topological space, then is an
-accumulation point of
The converse of the above remark is not true in general as it is shown in Example 3.3. that the filter base
-accumulates to the point .
Theorem 3.6: Let be a filter base on a space . Then the following statements are equivalent:
The filter base is accumulates to a point .
There exists a filter finer than and it is convergent to .

Proposition 3.7: If is a maximal filter base on a space . Then is accumulates to a point if and
only if is convergent to .
Proof: Let be a maximal filter base on a space and accumulates to a point , then by Theorem 3.6,

there exists a filter finer than and convergce to . But is maximal filter base. Thus is convergence
to . Conversely. Follows from the definition
Proposition 3.8: Let be a filter base in topological space if any semi-closed in containing , there
exists an such that , then accumulates to a point .
Proof: Let be an -open containing , then for each , there exists a semi-closed set in such that
. By hypothesis there exists such that which implies that . Hence
accumulates to a point .
Proposition 3.9: Let be a filter base in topological space if for every semi-closed set in containing
, there exists an such that , then converges to the point .
Proof: Let be an -open set containing , then for each , there exists a semi-closed set in such that
. By hypothesis, there exists an such that implies that . Hence -converges to .
Theorem 3.10: Let be a filter base in topological space . If is convergent (resp., accumulates)
to a point , then is rc-convergent (resp., rc-accumulates) to .
Proof: Let be a filter base in a space and let be any regular closed set containing , then .
Since is -convergent (resp., accumulates) to the point , then there exist such that
(resp., ) this implies that is rc-convergent (resp., rc-accumulates) to . The converse of Theorem 3.10 is not
true in general as it is shown in following example:
Example 3.11: In Example 3.3. The family of regular closed sets are only and and hence is rc-convergent
to but it is not -convergent to . And is rc-accumulates to but it is not -accumulate to .
Proposition 3.12: Let be a filter base in topological space . If is -convergent (resp., -accumulates)
to a point , then is -convergent (resp., -accumulates) to .
Proof. Similar to the proof of Theorem 3.10
Proposition 3.13: Let be a filter base in topological space . If is -convergence (resp., -accumulates)
to a point , then is -convergent (resp., -accumulates) to .
Proof: Let be a filter base in a space and let be any open set containing , then is regular open set
in . So, since is convergence (resp., accumulates) to a point , then there exist
such that ( resp., ) this implies that is -convergence (resp., -accumulates).
Theorem 3.14: If is an -continuous (resp., almost -continuous) function, then for each point
and each filter base on a space -convergence to , the filter base is convergent (resp., -convergent)
to .
Proof: Suppose that belong to and is any filter base in which -convergent to . By -continuity

( resp., ). But is -convergence to in , so there exist such that implies that
( resp., ). Thus is convergent (resp., -convergent) to .

, there exists a finite subset of such that . Since every open set is semi-open, we obtain the
following result.
Remark 3.16: Every semi-compact space is compact.

is regular, then by Theorem 2.8, there exists an open set of such that . This implies that
. and since is compact, then there exists a finite subset of such that . This shows
that is semi-compact.
Theorem 3.21: If a space is compact then it is compact.
Proof: Follows from the fact every -open is -open set.
Corollary 3.22: If a topological space is compact, then it is quasi H-closed and hence mildly compact.
Proof: Follow from Theorem 3.21 and the fact that each nearly compact is quasi H-closed and hence it is mildy
compact.
Theorem 3.23: If a space is compact, then it is s-closed.
Proof Let be any semi open cover of , then is a regular closed cover of implies
that is open cover of and since is compact, then there is finite subset of such that
. This shows that is s-closed.

does not -converges to any point of . Since is maximal filter base then by Proposition 3.7, does not
-accumulates to any point of . This implies that for every , there exists an -open set and such that
. The family is an -open cover of and by (1), there exist finite number of points
, , ,..., such that . Since is a filter base on , there exists such that
. Hence for each implies that , then
. Therefore, which contradicts the fact that . Thus is -convergence to a point .
(2) (3). Let be any filter base on , then there exists a maximal filter base such that . By (2), is
-convergent to some point , this implies that for every -open set containing , there exists such that
. Thus, for every , we have this shows that is -accumulates to the point .
(3) (4). Let be family of -closed subsets of such that . Suppose that every
finite subfamily . Therefore, forms a filter base on
. Then by (3), is -accumulates to some points which implies that for every -open set containing
, for every and each . Since , then there exist such that .
Therefore which is -open set in . But which is a contradiction since -accumulates
to . And this completes the proof.

Every maximal filter base on a space is -convergence to a point .

weakly -continuous retraction, we have . Since is Urysohn, then there are two open sets and such that

because . Therefore there exists a point . Since , we have
and hence this implies that because .
This contradicts the fact that is weakly -continuous. Hence is -closed set.
5. CONCLUSIONS
A new type of convergence of a filter base is defined by using the concept of S_s-open sets this type of
convergence is weaker than the s-convergence and stronger than rc-convergence and -convergence. By using this type of
convergence the concept of S_s-compactness is characterized and it is proved that the concept of S_s-compactness is
weaker than the s-compactness and stronger than the concept of quasi H-closed spaces and -compact spaces. Some other
relations among this concept and other similar concepts were found. Moreover, the concepts of S_s-open sets,
S_s-convergence of a filter base and S_s-compactness can be extended to bitopological spaces.
