Abstract

In 1989 Ganster and Reilly [6] introduced and studied the notion of L C -continuous functions via the concept of locally closed sets. In this paper we consider a stronger form of L C -continuity called contra-continuity. We call a function f : ( X , τ ) ( Y , σ ) contra-continuous if the preimage of every open set is closed. A space ( X , τ ) is called strongly S -closed if it has a finite dense subset or equivalently if every cover of ( X , τ ) by closed sets has a finite subcover. We prove that contra-continuous images of strongly S -closed spaces are compact as well as that contra-continuous, β -continuous images of S -closed spaces are also compact. We show that every strongly S -closed space satisfies FCC and hence is nearly compact.
