For dealing with uncertainties researchers introduced the concept of soft sets. Georgiou et al. [10] defined several basic notions on soft θ-topology and they studied many properties of them. This paper continues the study of the theory of soft θ-topological spaces and presents for this theory new definitions, characterizations, and results concerning soft θ-boundary, soft θ-exterior, soft θ-ge...
