Abstract

Two relationships considered by Weston [1] for a pair of topologies on a set X are translated to a function setting. An attempt to characterize the two resulting types of functions leads to new characterizations of weak continuity and almost continuity. After showing that weak continuity and almost continuity are independent, interrelationships are sought. This leads to the definition of subweak continuity and a new characterization for almost openness. Finally, several published results are strengthened or slightly extended.
