Abstract
In 2020, r-near topological spaces on Near Approximation Spaces were introduced by Atmaca [1]. In this study, we introduce the concept of continuity on r-near topological spaces and examine some properties of it.
Keywords
In 2007, Peters [10, 11] introduced the near set theory as a generalization of the approach to classification of objects presented by Zdzislaw Pawlak [9]. Near set theory has practical applications in many areas such as feature selection [12], object recognition in images [4, 13], image processing [2], granular computing [14, 26] and in various forms of machine learning [8, 18–20].
Recently, some researchers have introduced algebraic and topological structures of near sets. Applications of near sets in algebraic structures are given by İnan and Öztürk [5–7]. They discussed the notion of Near groups on nearness approximation space and obtained some fundamental properties.
There are studies on the topological properties of nearness structures and nearness approximation spaces in the literature [24, 27–29]. But topological structures of near sets were firstly introduced by Atmaca [1]. In that study, author defined r-near topology on a nearness approximation space and introduced some basic concepts of r-near topological spaces.
In this study, we introduce the concept of r-near continuous functions defined on a r-near topological spaces. Moreover we give some characterizations of the r-near continuity and support with examples and counter examples.
Introduction
In this section, we give properties and some definitions of near sets defined by Peters [10, 11].
∼B = {(x, x′) ∈ O × O : φ (x) = φ (x′) , ∀φ ∈ B} is called the indiscernibility relation on O.
and
Indiscernibility relation can be defined for each subset B r , such that B r ⊆ B ⊆ F and |B r | = r. Let us denote this relation with ∼B r . ∼B r can form different decomposition of O for each r, where [x] B r = {x′ : φ (x) = φ (x′) for all φ ∈ B r }. Let N r (B) = {O/∼B r : B r ⊆ B} shows the set of all decompositons of O with respect to B.
and
A topological space can be thought of as a geometric space in which closeness is defined but cannot usually be measured by a numerical distance. Thus, an open set in a topological space is a set of elements close to each other. In [1], the author generalized the concept of closeness in topological spaces by using the concept of near set, and defined a new topological structure by adding elements that are weakly related to the elements of the set to open sets.

r-Near contiunity
If f is r-near continuous at x0 for all x0 ∈ X, then we say that f is r-near continuous on X.
Let us construct the equivalence classes for each r-combination where 1 ≤ r ≤ 3. Then equivalence classes are obtained as follows;
[a] {φ1} = {a, b, d}, [c] {φ1} = {c, e}
[a] {φ2} = {a, c, d}, [b] {φ2} = {b},[e] {φ2} = {e}
[a] {φ3} = {a, b}, [c] {φ3} = {c}, [d] {φ3} = {d, e},
[a] {φ1,φ2} = {a, d}, [b] {φ1,φ2} = {b}, [c] {φ1,φ2} = {c}, [e] {φ1,φ2} = {e}
[a] {φ1,φ3} = {a, b}, [c] {φ1,φ3} = {c}, [d] {φ1,φ3} = {d}, [e] {φ1,φ3} = {e}
[a] {φ2,φ3} = {a}, [b] {φ2,φ3} = {b}, [c] {φ2,φ3} = {c}, [d] {φ2,φ3} = {d}, [e] {φ2,φ3} = {e}
[a] {φ1,φ2,φ3} = {a}, [b] {φ1,φ2,φ3} = {b}, [c] {φ1,φ2,φ3} = {c}, [d] {φ1,φ2,φ3} = {d}, [e] {φ1,φ2,φ3} = {e}
Thus we have
N1 (B) = {{[a] {φ1}, [c] {φ1}}, {[a] {φ2}, [b] {φ2}, [e] {φ2}}, {[a] {φ3}, [c] {φ3}, [d] {φ3}}}
N2 (B) = {{[a] {φ1,φ2}, [b] {φ1,φ2}, [c] {φ1,φ2}, [e] {φ1,φ2}}, {[a] {φ1,φ3}, [c] {φ1,φ3}, [d] {φ1,φ3}, [e] {φ1,φ3}}, {[a] {φ2,φ3}, [b] {φ2,φ3}, [c] {φ2,φ3}, [d] {φ2,φ3}, [e] {φ2,φ3}}}
N3 (B) = {{[a] {φ1,φ2,φ3}, [b] {φ1,φ2,φ3}, [c] {φ1,φ2,φ3}, [d] {φ1,φ2,φ3}, [e] {φ1,φ2,φ3}}}.
Hence
