The notion of contra continuous functions was introduced and investigated by Dontchev. In this paper, we apply the notion of $beta^{*}$-closed sets in topological space to present and study a new class of functions called contra $beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $beta^{*}$-continuous functions as a new generalization of contra continuity.

In 2008, E. Ekici [13] introduced a new class of generalized open sets in a topological space called e-open sets. M. Ozkoc and G Aslim [26], in their recent paper (Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 47 (2010), No. 5, pp. 10251036), initiated two strong forms of e-open sets for the study of stronglyθ-e-continuous functions. J. Dontchev [8] introduced the notion of contra continuous functions. In this paper...

In 1996, Dontchev [14] introduced and investigated a new notion of non-continuity called contra-continuity. Recently, Baker et al. [6] offered a new generalization of contra-continuous functions via λ-closed sets, called almost contra λ-continuous functions. It is the objective of this paper to further study some more properties of such functions.

One of the important and basic topics in general topology and several branches of mathematics 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 continuity. In 1996, Dontchev [3] introduced contra-continuous functions, and Jafari and Noiri [10] introduced contra-precontinuous functions (in 20...

Almost contra-precontinuous functions were introduced by Ekici [7] and recently have been investigated further by Noiri and Popa [13]. The purpose of this note is to develop some new characterizations of almost contra-precontinuous functions and to introduce a new weak form of almost contra-precontinuity, which we call subalmost contraprecontinuity. It is shown that subalmost contra-precontinui...
