Parvathi, ABalamani, N2017-03-312017-03-312016https://ir.avinuty.ac.in/handle/avu/2417In this paper we introduce and study a new class o f generalized closed sets called \p a -closed sets in topological spaces. We analyze the relations between [p a -closed sets with already existing closed sets. We discuss some basic properties o f xp a -d o sed sets The class o f ip a-closed sets is properly placed between the class o f a-closed sets and the class o f (resp. xpfclosed sets. We prove that the class o f xp a- closed sets form a topology.
