Abstract

The object of this note is to introduce and study topological properties of α-derived, α-border, α-frontier, and α-exterior of a set using the concept of α-open sets. Moreover, we study some further properties of the well-known notions of α-closure and α-interior. We also obtain a new decomposition of α-continuous functions.
