 ABSTRACT

In this dissertation, the new concepts namely,

weakly semi - I*S - open set, almost I*Sopen sets, α-
I*S open sets, α-I*S continuous functions, are defined
and studied. Completely codense ideals are defined
and characterized in terms of weakly semi-I-open
sets. Weakly semi -I*S-continuous functions are
introduced to obtain a decomposition of
continuity. The fundamental properties of such
functions are also investigated.
