In this article, new definition of neutrosophic soft ** b-open set is introduced with the help of neutrosophic soft α-open set and neutrosophic soft β-open set. With the application of this new definition some neutrosophic soft separation axioms and neutrosophic soft other separation axioms are addressed with respect to soft points of the spaces. Suitable examples are provided for the clarification of different results. Soft countability results and its engagements with different other neutrosophic soft results are studied. In continuation, characterization of Bolzano Weirstrass Property with respect to neutrosophic soft results and neutrosophic soft compactness results are inaugurated.
Fuzziness has modernized many areas such as mathematics, science, engineering and medicine. This concept was initiated by Zadeh [1]. Not only Zadeh discovered this concept, but he also developed the infrastructure of today’s popular forms of use such as relations of similarity, decision making, and fuzzy programming in a short time.
Pawlak [2] introduced a new concept of rough sets. Each of these theories has its own inherent difficulties. To finish out these difficulties, Molodtsov [3] introduced completely a new approach of soft set theory. Maji et al. [4] functionalized soft sets in multicriteria decision making problems by applying the technique of knowledge reduction to the information table induced by soft set. Maji et al. [5] introduced and studied several basic notions of soft set theory. Pei and Miao [6] and Chen [7] improved the work of Maji et al. Broumi et al. [8] extended the concept to the case of interval valued neutrosophic soft relation (IVNSS relation for short) which can be discussed as a generalization of soft relations, fuzzy soft relation, intuitionistic fuzzy soft relation, interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft relations and neutrosophic soft relations. Basic operations are presented and the various properties like reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity of IVNSS relations are also studied. Smarandache [9] for the first time floated the concept of neutrosophic set which is generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), and intuitionistic set (NS). Some related examples are presented. Peculiarities between NS and IFS are underlined. Every element in the neutrosophic set has truth, indeterminacy and falsity values respectively and which are maps from universe of discourse to [0, 1] with the constraint that truth, indeterminacy and falsity values should not exceed 3 and not less than zero under addition. Many complex problems in statistics, in graph theory when relationship between the object have acceptance, rejection and also indeterminacy, physics, image processing, networking and in decision making which can’t be solved by existing classical methods. Wang et al. [10] thought that neutrosophic sets are difficult to be applied in some genuine issues on account of truth, indeterminacy and falsity membership degree.
So they jointly presented the idea of a single-valued neutrosophic set. The single-valued neutrosophic set can freely express truth-membership degree, indeterminacy-membership degree, and falsity-membership degree and manages inadequate, uncertain and conflicting data. All the aspects of the elements depicted by the single-valued neutrosophic set are entirely appropriate for human intuition because of the flaw of information that human gets or sees from the surrounding.
Smarandache [11] introduced a technique of extending soft set to Hyper soft set, and then to Plithogenic Hyper-soft set. Cagman et al. [12] defined the concept of soft topology on a soft set, and presented its related properties. The authors also discussed the foundations of the theory of soft topological spaces. Shabir and Naz [13] introduced soft topological spaces over an initial universe with a fixed set of parameters. The notions of soft open sets, soft closed sets, soft closure, soft interior points, soft neighborhood of a point, soft separation axioms and their basic properties were investigated. It is shown that a soft topological space gives a parametrized family of topological spaces. The authors discussed soft subspaces of a soft topological space and investigated characterization with respect to soft open and soft closed sets. Finally, soft Ti-spaces, notions of soft normal and soft regular spaces are addressed. Bayramov and Gunduz [14] investigated some basic notions of soft topological spaces by using soft point notion. Later the authors addressed Ti-soft spaces and the relationships between them. Lastly, the authors defined soft compactness and explored some of its significant characteristics.
Khattak et al. [15] introduced the concept of soft (α,β)-open sets and their characterization in soft single point topology. Atanassov [16] introduced the concept of ‘intuitionistic fuzzy set’ (IFS) which is an extension of the concept ‘fuzzy set’. The authors discussed various properties including operations and relations over sets. Bayramov and Gunduz [17] introduced some important properties of intuitionistic fuzzy soft topological spaces and defined the intuitionistic fuzzy soft closure and interior of an intuitionistic fuzzy soft set. Furthermore, intuitionistic fuzzy soft continuous mapping and structural characteristics were discussed in their study. Deli and Broumi [18] defined for the first define a relation on neutrosophic soft sets. The new concept allows the composition of two neutrosophic soft sets. It is devised to derive useful information through the composition of two neutrosophic soft sets. Finally a decision making method on neutrosophic soft sets is presented.
Bera and Mahapatra [19] introduced the concept of cartesian product and the relationship on neutrosophic soft sets with a new attempt. Some properties of this concept have been discussed and verified with appropriate real life examples. The neutrosophic soft composition has been defined and verified with the help of examples. Then, some basic properties neutrosophic set have been established. Further, the authors introduced neutrosophic soft function it’s properties have been introduced and some suitable examples. Injective, surjective, bijective, constant and identity neutrosophic soft functions have been defined. Finally, properties of inverse neutrosophic soft function have been discussed with proper examples.
Maji [20] stretched the study of Smarandache. The author used the concept of neutrosophic set in soft set and introduced neutrosophic soft set. Some definitions and related operations were introduced on neutrosophic soft set.
Akram et al. [21] introduced the notion of single-valued neutrosophic soft topological K-algebras. The authors discussed certain concepts, including interior, closure, connected, super connected, Compactness and Hausdorff in single-valued neutrosophic soft topological K-algebras. In continuation the authors illustrated these concepts with examples and investigate some of their related properties. The authors also studied image and pre-image of single-valued neutrosophic soft topological K-algebras.
Akram et al. [22] applied the notion of single-valued neutrosophic sets to K-algebras. Further, the authors studied certain properties, including connected, super connected introduced the notion of single-valued neutrosophic topological K-algebras and investigate some of their, compact and Hausdorff, of single-valued neutrosophic topological K-algebras. The authors also investigated the image and pre-image of single-valued neutrosophic topological K-algebras under homomorphism.
Akram et al. [23] leaked out that neutrosophic sets and soft sets are two different mathematical tools for representing vagueness and uncertainty. The authors applied these models in combination to study vagueness and uncertainty in K-algebras. Further, the authors introduced the notion of single-valued neutrosophic soft (SNS) K-algebras and investigated some of their properties. Lastly the authors established the notion of (∈, ∈ ∨q)-single-valued neutrosophic soft K-algebras and describe some of their related properties.
Kamal et al. [24] introduced the concept of multi-valued interval neutrosophic soft set which amalgamates multi-valued interval neutrosophic set and soft set. According to the authors the proposed set extended the notions of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, neutrosophic set, interval-valued neutrosophic set, multi-valued neutrosophic set, soft set and neutrosophic soft set. Further, the authors studied some basic operations such as complement, equality, inclusion, union, intersection, “AND” and “OR” for multi-valued interval neutrosophic soft elements and discuss its associated properties. Moreover, the derivation of its properties, related examples and some proofs on the propositions are included.
Karaaslan and Deli [25] introduced the concept of soft neutrosophic classical sets and its set theoretical operations such as; union, intersection, complement, AND-product and OR-product. In addition to these concept and operations, the authors defined four basic types of sets of degenerate elements in a soft neutrosophic classical set. Then the authors proposed a group decision making method based on soft neutrosophic classical sets, and give algorithm of proposed method. The authors also made an application of proposed method on a problem including soft neutrosophic classical data.
Karaaslan [26] studied the concept of single-valued neutrosophic refined soft set is defined as an extension of single-valued neutrosophic refined set. Also, set theoretical operations between two single-valued neutrosophic refined soft sets are defined and some basic properties of these operations are investigated. Furthermore, two methods to calculate correlation coefficient between two single-valued neutrosophic refined soft sets are proposed, and a clustering analysis application of one of proposed methods is given.
Karaaslan [27] introduced the concept of possibility neutrosophic soft set and defined some related concepts such as possibility neutrosophic soft subset, possibility neutrosophic soft null set, and possibility neutrosophic soft universal set. Then, based on definitions of n-norm and n-conorm, we define set theoretical operations of possibility neutrosophic soft sets such as union, intersection and complement, and investigate some properties of these operations. The author also introduced AND-product and OR-product operations between two possibility neutrosophic soft sets. The author proposed a decision making method called possibility neutrosophic soft decision making method (PNS-decision making method) which can be applied to the decision making problems involving uncertainty based on AND-product operation. The author finally gave a numerical example to display application of the method that can be successfully applied to the problems.
Karaaslan [28] introduced a similarity measure between possibility neutrosophic soft sets (PNS-set) is defined, and its properties are studied. A decision making method is established based on proposed similarity measure. Finally, an application of this similarity measure involving the real life problem is given.
Karaaslan [29] addressed firstly Maji’s definitions (Maji-2013) and verified that that some propositions are incorrect by a counterexample. The author then redefined concept of neutrosophic soft set and their operation based on Çağman (Çagman-2014} and investigated some properties of these operations. The author then constructed decision making method and group decision making which selects an optimum element from the alternatives by using weights of parameters. The author finally presented an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.
Bera and Mahapatra [30] introduced the construction of topology on a neutrosophic soft set (NSS). The notion of neutrosophic soft interior, neutrosophic soft closure, neutrosophic soft neighborhood, neutrosophic soft boundary, regular NSS and their basic properties are studied in this study. The base for neutrosophic soft topology and subspace topology on NSS are defined with suitable examples. Some related properties were also established. Moreover, the concept of separation axioms on neutrosophic soft topological space have been introduced along with investigation of several structural characteristics. Hayat et al. [31] inaugurated some new operations on type-2 soft sets and discussed related properties. By means of this new definitions some certain laws are verified. Hayat et al. [32] established correspondence between a vertex and its neighbors has an essential role in the structure of a graph. Type-2 soft sets are also based on the correspondence of primary parameters and underlying parameters. The authors presented an application of type-2 soft sets in graph theory. In continuation, the authors introduced vertex-neighbors based type-2 soft sets over X (set of all vertices of a graph) and E (set of all edges of a graph). Moreover, the authors introduced some type-2 soft operations in graphs by presenting several examples to demonstrate these new concepts. Finally, the authors described an application of type-2 soft graphs in communication networks and present procedure as an algorithm. Hayat et al. [33] developed a promising framework based on soft sets, TOPSIS and the Shannon entropy. Customer’s preferences on incorporating design values are identified based on acceptable- and satisfactory-level needs, and these preferences are weighted through Shannon entropy. By performing AND operation on the soft set of level requirements of one customer with the soft set of requirements of another customer, several weighted tables of soft sets are obtained on the pair of design parameters values. To obtain the best concept on different levels of requirements, TOPSIS is performed which provides several integrated evaluations. An illustration is considered for the demonstration of the method, brings the best concept for two customers which is acceptable for both of the customers, satisfactory for both the customers and vise-versa. Finally, the comparisons are presented with recent major existing techniques.
Hayat et al. [34] introoduced some novel operations on neutrosophic matrices and addressed different results on these operations.
Khattak et al. [35] for the first time bounced up the idea of neutrosophic soft b-open set, neutrosophic soft b-closed sets and their properties. Also the idea of neutrosophic soft b-neighborhood and neutrosophic soft b-separation axioms in neutrosophic soft topological structures are reflected here. Later on the important results are discussed related to these newly defined concepts with respect to soft points. The concept of neutrosophic soft b-separation axioms of neutrosophic soft topological spaces is diffused in different results with respect to soft points. Furthermore, properties of neutrosophic soft b Ti-space (i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and some associations between them are discussed. Mehmood et al. [35] leaked out the notion of neutrosophic soft p-open set, neutrosophic soft p-open set, neutrosophic soft p-close set and their important characteristics. Also the notion of neutrosophic soft p-neighborhood and neutrosophic soft p-separation axioms in neutrosophic soft topological spaces are developed.
These references [35–37] became source of motivation for my present work. In reference [35] the authors defined neutrosophic soft b-open set in neutrosophic soft topological spaces and then with the help of this definition, some sort of neutrosophic soft separation axioms are addressed. Same is done in reference [36] with respect to neutrosophic soft p-open sets. In reference [37] the authors defined neutrosophic soft *b open sets in neutrosophic topological spaces. In our study, we proceed as follows:
In this article, the concept of neutrosophic soft ** b open sets in neutrosophic topological spaces is initiated and its structural characteristics are attempted with respect to soft points. The rest of the article is pictured as follows. In section 2, some fundamental definitions, which are neutrosophic soft union, neutrosophic soft intersection, null neutrosophic soft set, absolute neutrosophic soft set, neutrosophic soft topology, neutrosophic soft and neutrosophic soft neighborhood are discussed. In section 3, eight new definitions are introduced with respect to soft points in neutrosophic soft topological spaces. Out of these eight definitions, neutrosophic soft ** b open set is chosen to see its beauty in neutrosophic soft topological structures. Then with the application of this new definition some neutrosophic soft separation axioms and neutrosophic soft other separation axioms are generated with respect to soft points of the spaces. The inter-play among these neutrosophic soft separation axioms is also displayed relative to soft points of the spaces. These results are verified with examples. The second criteria of ** b1 space is displayed. The engagement of neutrosophic soft ** b1 space with NS ** b-open set, neutrosophic soft ** b3 spaces relation with neutrosophic soft closer with respect to soft points of the spaces.
In section 4, neutrosophic soft countability that neutrosophic soft first countability and neutrosophic soft second countability, the relation-ship between these results, neutrosophic soft sequences and their convergence in NS ** b Hausdorff space and the cardinality results are discussed. In section 5, neutrosophic soft topological characteristics and inverse neutrosophic soft topological characteristics are addressed with respect to soft points. Neutrosophic soft product of neutrosophic soft structures is inaugurated. Characterization of Bolzano Weirstrass Property, neutrosophic soft compactness and related results and neutrosophic sequentially compactness are discussed. In section 6, some concluding remarks and future work is exhibited.

Characterization of neutrosophic soft separation axioms in terms of neutrosophic soft points
In this section, eight new definitions are introduced with respect to crisp points in neutrosophic soft topological spaces. Among these definitions neutrosophic soft ** b-open set is chosen to generate the neutrosophic soft structures with respect to soft pints. Suitable examples are also given to defend some results.

Since be a NS ** b1 structure, ∃ a NS ** b-open set (g˜, θ) so that & Since, So . Thus is a NS ** b-open set, i.e., is a NS ** b-closed set. Suppose that each NS point is a NS ** b-closed.

Main results concerning soft points
In this section, neutrosophic soft countability that neutrosophic soft first countability and neutrosophic soft second countability, the relation-ship between these results, neutrosophic soft sequences and their convergence in NS ** b Hausdorff space and The cardinality results are discussed.
Theorem 4.1. Let ) be a NSTS over the father set such that soft ** b-Hausdorff space, then the following statements are equivalent
) is soft ** b-Hausdorff space
The diagonal ): is NS ** b-closed in .
Proof. Suppose (1) holds. We have to prove that the diagonal is NS ** b-closed in . Equivalently we will prove and is NS ** b-open in . Suppose , Then such that or . Since ) is NS ** b-Hausdorff space, so according to definition, there exist NS ** b-open sets (g˜, θ) and such that and . This implies , ) . since , so . Therefore, . Also since and are NS ** b-open in so is NS ** b-open in the soft product space . so ). This implies, ) is soft interior point of . But is soft temporary point of . So every soft point of is soft interior point of result in is NS ** b-open in Suppose (2) holds. We have to prove the second for this suppose such that or . since or this means that the given points are distinct so . But is NS ** b-open. So is an interior point of . So by definition there exists NS ** b-open sets (g˜, θ) and such that so (g˜, θ)× implies that . Since and are arbitrary pints of (g˜, θ) and such that or so and contains no common point of, so . Thus there exist NS ** b-open sets and such that and . Thus be a NS ** b-Hausdorff space.
Theorem 4.2. Let be a point in a NS first countable space and let , generates a NS countable ** b open base about the point, then there exists an infinite soft sub-sequence of the NS sequence , such that (i) for any NS * b-open set , containing , ∃ a suffix m such that for all i≽ m ; and (ii) if be, in particular, a NS ** b1-space, then
Proof. Given is NS ** b open sets, containing the point . As the NS sets Forms NS ** b open base about , there exists one among the NS sets , which we shall denote by , such that . The NS sequence ,
Thus obtained, has the required properties. In fact, if is any NS ** b open set, containing , then ∃ a NS set say, belonging to the family , such that . Also, since . Next, let be NS ** b1-space, and let . As is contained in each that is it follows that . Let be any point of , from that is or . By definition of NS ** b1-space, there exists NS ** b open set such that and . There exists a suffix, Consequently, hence . Thus 〈M, θ〉 cosists of the point only.
Theorem 4.3. A NS countable space in which every NS convergent sequence has a unique soft limit is a NS ** b Hausdorff space.
Proof. Let be NS Hausdorff space and let be a soft convergent sequence in . We prove that the limit of this sequence is unique. We prove this result by contradiction. Suppose converges to two soft points and such that . Then by trichotomy law either or . Since it possess the NS ** b Hausdorff characteristics, there must happen two NS ** b open sets 〈f, θ〉and〈ρ, θ〉 such that .
Now, converges to so there exists an integer n1 such that . Also, converges to so there exists an interger n2 such that . We are interested to discuss the maximum possibility, for that we must suppose maximum of both the integers which will enable us to discuss the soft sequence for single soft number. Max (n1, n2) = n0. Which leads to the situation and . This implies that and . This guarantees that . Which beautifully contradict the fact that . Hence, the limit of the NS sequence must be unique.
Theorem 4.4. Any collection of mutually exclusive NS ** b open sets in a NS ** b second countable space is at most NS ** b countable.
Proof. Let be NSTS such that it is NS second countable. Let 〈 ℶ , θ〉 signifies any collection of mutually exclusive NS ** b open sets in . Let , then ∃ at least one soft set , belonging to the collection , such that . Let n be the smallest suffix for which . Since the soft sets in 〈 ℶ , θ〉 are mutually disjoint, it follows that, for different soft sets , there correspond soft sets with different suffices n. Hence the soft sets in 〈 ℶ , θ〉 are in a (1, 1)-correspondence with a soft sub-collection of the NS countable collection ; consequently, the cardinality of 〈 ℶ , θ〉 is less than or equal to d.
Theorem 4.5. Let be NSTS such that it is NS second countabley NS ** b Hausdorff space. Then set of all NS ** b open sets has the cardinality C.
Proof. Let be second countable NS ** b Hausdorff space. There exists in an infinite soft sequence of NS ** b open sets …… such that . Different soft sub-sequences of the sequences will determine, as their unions, different NS ** b open sets. But since the soft set of all soft sub-sets of a countable soft set has the cardinality C, it follows that soft set of all the NS ** b open sets in has the cardinality ≽C. Again the cardinality of the soft set of all NS ** b open sets in . consequently, the cardinality of all NS ** b open sets in is exactly equal to C.
Theorem 4.6. Let be NS STsuch that it is NS second countable ** b1 space the the soft set of all NS points in this space has the cardinality at most equal to C (i.e, posses the power of the continuum at most).
Proof. Given that is NS second countable ** b1 space, for which the NS sets . Forms a soft countable NS ** b open base of . Then, for any given point . generate countable NS ** b open base about the point ς in , where ςi, i = 1, 2, 3, … . . , is a soft sub-sequence of the soft sequence , consisting of all those which contain the point ς. Since a second NS countable space is necessary first NS countable. So corresponding to the point ς, there exists an infinite soft sequence of NS ** b open sets {〈b, ∂〉i : i = i, 2, 3, … }, which is a soft sub-sequence of the soft sequence , and therefore also a soft sub-sequence of the soft sequence , such that . Thus to each point in , there corresponds a soft sub-sequence {〈W, θ〉i : i = i, 2, 3, … } of the soft sequence ; and two ndifferent points there correspond two such different soft sub-spaces {〈b, θ〉i : i = i, 2, 3, … }. Hence the soft set of all points in . i.e, the crisp set , has the same cardinality as that of a certain soft sub-collection of the soft collection of all soft sub-space of the sequence . Thus the cardinality of is less than or equal to complement. In other words the crisp set has the power of the continuum at most.
Theorem 4.7. Let be NSTS such that it is NS second countable. Every soft uncountable soft subsets contains a point of condensation.
Proof. {Since is NS second countable space and be a soft countable NS ** b open base of . Let 〈f, θ〉 be a NS sub-set of such that 〈f, θ〉 does not contain any point of condensation. For each point , is not point of condensation of 〈f, θ〉. Hence there exists NS open *b set , containing such that is soft countable at most. There exists a suffix , such that and then is also NS countable at most. But we can express 〈f, ∂〉 in the form 〈f, θ〉}, and there can be at most a NS countable number of different suffices. So, 〈f, θ〉 is at most a NS union of NS uncountable soft sub-set; that is 〈f, θ〉 is at most a NS countable soft sub-set of . Consequently, if 〈b, θ〉 is soft uncountable soft subset, then it must possess a point of condensation.
Theorem 4.8. be NSTS such that it is NS second countable. If 〈ψ, θ〉 is uncountable NS sub-set of , then the soft sub-set 〈ϖ, θ〉, consisting of all those N points of 〈ψ, θ〉 which are not points of condensation of 〈ψ, θ〉, is at most NS countable.
Proof. Since is NS second countable space, be a countable NS ** b open base of . Let be a soft sub-sequence of the soft sequence . consisting of all those soft sets for which is at most soft countable. Then is at most NS countable. We shall establish that . , there is not a point of condensation of 〈ψ, θ〉 ; hence there exists a soft nbhd of , such that is at most NS countable. Also, there exists a soft set , belonging to the soft sequence , satisfying . Then is at most NS countable, and so must be one of the soft sets and therefore . Again, since , it follows . Next, let , then belongs to some . Now, as is a soft nbd of , and is at most NS countable. can not be a point of condensation of 〈ψ, ∂〉. Also, as . It follows that . Thus and since each is at most NS countable. It follows that 〈ϖ, ∂〉 is also at most NS countable.
More results concerning soft points
In this section, neutrosophic soft topological characteristics and inverse neutrosophic soft topological characteristics are addressed with respect to soft points. Neutrosophic soft product of neutrosophic soft structures is inaugurated. Characterization of Bolzano Weirstrass Property, neutrosophic soft compactness and related results and neutrosophic sequentially compactness are discussed.
Theorem 5.1. Let be NSTS such that it is NS ** b Hausdorff space and be any NSST. Let 〈b, θ〉: be a soft fuction such that it is soft monotone and continuous. Then is also of characteristics of NS ** b Hausdorffness.
Proof. Suppose such that either . Since 〈b, θ〉 is soft monotone. Let us suppose the monotonically increasing case. So, implies that respectively. Suppose such that so, respectively such that . Since, is NS ** b Hausdorff space so there exists mutually disjoint NS ** b open sets 〈k1, θ〉 and and . We claim that . Otherwise . Suppose there exists , , is soft such that such that . Since, f is soft one-one implies that implies that . This is contradiction because . Therefore, . Finally, Given a pair of points We are able to find out mutually exclusive NS * b open sets s.t. this proves that is NS ** b Husdorff space.
Theorem 5.2. Let be NSTS and be an-other NSTS which satisfies one more condition of NS ** b Hausdorffness. Let 〈f, θ〉: a soft function such that it is soft monotone and continuous. Then is also of characteristics of NS ** b Hausdorfness.
Proof. Suppose such that either . Let us suppose the NS monotonically increasing case. So, implies that respectively. Suppose such that . So, respectively such that such that and . Since but is NS ** b Hausdorff space. So according to definition or . There definitely exists NS ** b open sets 〈k1, θ〉 and such that and and these two NS ** b open sets which are disjoint. Since f-1 (〈k1, θ〉) and f-1 (〈k2, θ〉) are NS * b open in . Now, and , implies that . We see that it has been shown for every pair of distinct points of , there suppose disjoint NS ** b open sets namely, f-1 (〈k1, θ〉) and f-1 (〈k2, θ〉) belong to such that and . Accordingly, NSTS is NS ** b Hausdorff space.
Theorem 5.3. Let be NSST and be an-other NSTS. Let 〈f, θ〉: be a soft mapping such that it is continuous mapping. Let is NS ** b Hausdorff space then it is guaranteed that is a NS ** b closed sub-set of
Proof. Given that be NSTS and be an-other NSTS. Let 〈f, ∂〉: be a soft mapping such that it is continuous mapping. is NS ** b Hausdorff space Then we will prove that is a NS ** b closed sub-set of . Equavilintly, we will prove that is NS ** b open sub-set of . Let . Then, or accordingly. Since, is NS ** b Hausdorff space. Certainly, are points of , there exists NS ** b open sets such that provided . Since, 〈k, θ〉 is soft continuous, f-1 (〈k, θ〉 & f-1) 〈k, θ〉 are NS ** b open sets in supposing and respectively and so is basic NS ** b open set in containing . Since , it is clear by the definition of that is , that is . Hence, implies that is NS ** b closed.
Theorem 5.4. Let be NSTS and be an-other NSSTS. Let, be a NS ** b open mapping such that it is onto. If the soft set is NS ** b closed in , then will behave as NS ** b Hausdorff space.
Proof. Suppose be two points of such that either or . Then or , that is or . Since, or is soft in , then there exists NS ** b open sets and 〈, θ〉 in such that or . Then, since is NS ** b open, ) and (〈, θ〉) are NS ** b open sets in containing and respectively, and ) otherwise ) or . It follows that is NS ** b Hausdorff space.
Theorem 5.5. Let be a NS second countable space then it is guaranteed that every family of non-empty dis-joint NS ** b open subsets of a NS second countable space is NS countable.
Proof. Given that be a NS second countable space. Then, ∃ a NS countable base . Let be a family of non-vacuous mutually exclusive NS ** b open sub-sets of . Then, for each 〈f, θ〉 of in there exists a soft in such a way that . Let us attach with 〈f, θ〉, the smallest positive inter n such that . Since the candidates of are mutully exclusive because of this behavior distinct candidates will be associated with distinct positive integers. Now, if we put the elements of in order so that the order is increasing relative to the positive integers associated with them, we obtain a sequence of of candidates of This verifies that is NS countable.
Theorem 5.6. Let be a NS second countable space and let 〈f, θ〉 be NS uncountable sub set of. Then, at least one point of 〈f, θ〉 is a soft limit point of 〈f, θ〉.
Proof. Let
Let, if possible, no point of 〈f, θ〉 be a soft limit point of 〈f, θ〉. Then, for each there exists NS ** b open set such that and
. Since is soft base such that . Therefore . More-over, if and be any two NS points such that which means either or then there exists and in such that and . Now, which guarantees that which implies that which implies . Thus, there exists a one to one soft correspondence of 〈, θ〉 on to . Now, 〈, θ〉 being NS uncountable, it follows that is NS uncountable. But, this is purely a contradiction, since benig a NS sub-family of the NS countable collection . This contradiction is taking birth that on point of 〈, θ〉 is a soft limit point of 〈, θ〉 so at least one point of 〈, θ〉is a soft limit point of 〈, θ〉.
Theorem 5.7. Let such that is is NS countably compact then this space has the characteristics of Bolzano Weirstrass Property (BWP).
Proof. Let be a NS countably compact space and suppose, if possible, that it negate the Bolzano Weierstrass Property (BWP). Then there must exists an infinite NS set 〈f, θ〉 supposing no soft limit point. Further suppose 〈ρ, θ〉 be soft countability infinite soft sub-set 〈f, θ〉 that is 〈ρ, θ〉Subset〈f, θ〉. Then this guarantees 〈ρ, θ〉 has no soft limit poit. It follows that 〈ρ, θ〉 is NS *b closed set. Also for each is not a soft limit point of . Hence there exists NS ** b open set , such that and . The the collection is countable NS ** b open cover of . This soft cover has no finite sub-cover. For this we exhaust a single , it would not be a soft cover of since then would be covered. Result in is not NS countably compact.
Theorem 5.8. Let and be two NSTS and suppose be a NS continuous function such that is NS continuous function and let supposes the B . V . P . then safely has the B . V . P .
Proof: Suppose be an infinite NS sub-set of , so that contains an enumerable NS set then there exists enumerable NS set s.t. has B . V . P implies that every infinite soft subset of supposes soft accumulation point belonging to this implies that has soft neutrosophic limit point, say, implies that the limit of soft sequence is is soft continuous implies that it is soft continuous. Furthermore implies that limit of a soft sequence is implies that limit of a soft sequence . Finally we have shown that there exists infinite soft subset of containing a limit point . This guarantees that has B . V . P .
Theorem 5.9. Let be a NSTS and be NS sub-space of . The necessary and sufficient condition for to be NS ** b compact relative to is that is NS ** b compact relative to .
Proof. First we prove that relative to . Let that is be open cover of , then such that implies that there exists such that but . So that . This guarantees that {〈, θ〉i : i∈ I } is a open cover of which is known to be NS ** b compact relative and hence the soft cover must be freezable to a finite soft cub cover, say, {〈, θ〉ir : r = 1, 2, 3, 4, … . , n }, Then
is a open cover of . Steping from an arbitrary open cover of , we are able to show that the NS ** b cover is freezable to a finite soft sub cover of , meaning there by is compact. The condition is sufficient: Suppose be soft sub-space of and also is compact. We have to prove that is compact. Let be soft open cover of so that from which . On taking , we get . Now from (1) it is clear that is open soft cover of which is known to be compact hence this sof cover must be reducible to a finite soft sub-cover say, . , or
. This proves that {〈, θ〉ir : 1⩽ r ⩽ n } is a finite soft sub-cover ot the soft cover 〈y, θ〉i. Starting from an arbitrary open soft cover of , we are able to show that this soft neutrosophic open cover is freezable to a finite soft sub-cover, showing there by , is compact.
Theorem 5.10. Let and let be a NS sequence in such that it converges to a point then the soft set 〈y, θ〉 consisting of the points and is soft NS ** b compact.
Proof. Given and let be a NS sequence in such that it converges to a point that is . Let . Let be NS ** b open covering of 〈, θ〉 so that implies that ∃α0 ∈ Δ such that . According to the definition of soft convergence, implies that there exists n0 ∈ N such that n ⩾ n0 and . Evidently, contains the points , , Look carefully at the points and train them in a way as, generating a finite soft set. Let 1 ⩽ n0-1. Then . For this . Hence there exists αi ∈ Δ such that . Evidently . This shows that is NS ** b open cover of 〈, θ〉. Thus an arbitrary NS** b open cover of 〈, θ〉 is reducible to a finite NS cub-cover , it follows that 〈, θ〉 is soft NS ** b compact.
Theorem 5.11. Let and be another NSTS. Let 〈, θ〉 be a soft continuous mapping of a soft neutrosophic sequentially compact NS ** b space into . Then, is NS ** b sequentially compact.
Proof. Given and be another NSTS. Let 〈f, θ〉 be a soft continuous mapping of a NS sequentially compact space into . Then we have to prove sequentially. For this we proceed as. Let be a soft sequence of NS points in , Then for each n ∈ N there exists such that Thus we obtain a soft sequence in . But being soft sequentially NS ** b compact, there is a NS sub-sequence of such that . So, by NS ** b contiuity of implies that . Thus, is a soft sub-sequence of
converges to in . Hence, is NS ** b sequentially compact.
Theorem 5.12. Let be a NS ** b1 space and such that or . If is a NS local base at , then there exists at least one member of which does not supposes .
Proof. Since be a NS ** b1 space and or open sets and 〈H˜, θ〉 such that but and but . Since, is NS local base at there exists . Since and , so . Thus such that .
Theorem 5.13. Let and suppose 〈f, θ〉, 〈g˜, θ〉 be two NS continuous function on a NS TS in to a which is NS ** b Hausdorff. Then, soft set is NS ** b closed of .
Proof. Let If is a NS set of function. If , it is clearly NS ** b open and therefore, is NS ** b closed, that is nothing is proved in this case. Let us consider the case when . And let . Then ρ does not belong result in (f) (ρ) ≠ (g) (ρ). Now, being NS ** b Hausdorff space so there exists NS ** b open sets 〈g, θ〉 and of (f) (ρ) and (g) (ρ) respectively such that 〈g, θ〉 and such that these NS sets such that the possibility of one rules out the possibility of other. By soft continuity of 〈f, θ〉, 〈g, θ〉, 〈f, θ〉-1 as well as s NS ** b open nhd of ρ and therefore, so is is contained in , for, and because 〈g, ∂〉 and are mutually exclusive. This implies that x does not belong . Therefore, . This shows that is nhd. of each of its points. So, NS ** b open and hence is NS ** b closed.
Theorem 5.14. Let such that it is NS ** b Hausdorff space and let (f) be soft continuous function of into itself. Then, the NS set of fixed points under (f). is a NS ** b closed set.
Proof. Let . If , Then is NS ** b open and therefore closed. So, let and let then, does not belong to and therefore . Now, and being two distinct points of the NS ** b Hausdorff space , so there exists NS ** b open sets 〈g, ∂〉 and such that and are disjoint. Also, by the NS continuity of (f), (f) -1 (〈H, θ〉 is NS ** b open set containing. We prtend that . Since and . As implies that μ does not belong to . Therefore, . Thus, is the NS nhd of each of its points. So, is NS ** b open and hence is NS ** b closed.
Conclusion
Crisp topology is such important branch of mathematics which is used as applied mathematics as well as pure mathematics. Soft topology is extension of crisp topology. It actually discusses the behavior of the sub-sets of the crisp set with the help of parameters. Fuzzy soft topology only discusses the membership value and it has nothing to do with the non-membership value. This is the drawback of fuzzy soft topology. The intuitionistic fuzzy soft topology is extension of fuzzy soft topology. It addresses both the degree of membership as well as degree of non-membership. Intuitionistic fuzzy soft topology is failed to address the indeterminacy case. This deficiency is filled by neutrosophic soft topology. This neutrosophic soft topology addresses acceptance, rejection and also indeterminacy case. In this article, Some new results are addressed with respect to the operations defined in [35, 36,37] contrast to [30]. The Characterization of neutrosophic soft points, neutrosophic soft separation axioms, countability theorems, countable space can be Hausdorff space under the restriction of neutrosophic soft sequence which is convergent, cardinality of neutrosophic soft countable space, engagement of neutrosophic soft countable and uncountable spaces, neutrosophic soft topological characteristics of different spaces, neutrosophic soft continuity, product of different neutrosophic soft spaces, neutrosophic soft countably compact has the characteristics of Bolzano Weirstrass Property are studied. BVP shifting from one space to another through neutrosophic soft continuous functions, neutrosophic soft sequence convergence and its linking with neutrosophic soft compact space, sequentially compactness are addressed with respect to soft points of the space under neutrosophic soft ** b open set in neutrosophic soft topological spaces.
