Locally closed sets and LC-continuous functions

In this paper we introduce and study three different notions of generalized continuity, namely LC-irresoluteness, LC-continuity and sub-LC-continuity. All three notions are defined by using the concept of a locally closed set. A subset S of a topological space X is locally closed if it is the inters...

description In this paper we introduce and study three different notions of generalized continuity, namely LC-irresoluteness, LC-continuity and sub-LC-continuity. All three notions are defined by using the concept of a locally closed set. A subset S of a topological space X is locally closed if it is the intersection of an open and a closed set. We discuss some properties of these functions and show that a function between topological spaces is continuous if and only if it is sub-LC-continuous and nearly continuous in the sense of Ptak. Several examples are provided to illustrate the behavior of these new classes of functions.
