Abstract

We present the notions of soft c-continuity and soft nearly c-continuity, which are weaker versions of soft continuity and soft almost continuity, respectively. We obtain several characterizations for these two concepts. We show that soft c-continuity and soft almost c-continuity are preserved under soft restrictions. In addition, we investigate the conditions under which the composition of two soft c-continuous and soft almost c-continuous functions is soft c-continuous and soft almost c-continuous. Moreover, via soft N-open sets, we give a characterization of the soft compactness of soft topological spaces over finite sets of parameters. In addition, we show that for a given soft topological space (L,Ω,F), the collection of soft regular open sets with soft compact complements forms a soft base for some coarser soft topology. We demonstrate that (L,Ω,F) are all soft compacts. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Ω=Ω if (L,Ω,F) or (L,Ω,F) is soft compact and soft Hausdorff. Finally, we investigate the correspondences between the novel notions in soft topology and their general topological analogs.
