$*-$open sets and $*-$ continuity in topological spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we study some properties of $*-$open and $*-$closed subsets of a space. The collection of all $*-$open subsets of a space $X$ form a topology on $X$ which is denoted by $^{*}O(X)$. We investigate the relations between topological properties of $X$ with the topology $^{*}O(X)$ and $X$. Also, we introduce the concept of a $*-$continuous map.
