1. Introduction
In 1999, Smarandache introduced the concept of a neutrosophy [
1]. It has been used at various axes of mathematical theories and applications. In recent decades, the theory made an outstanding advancement in the field of topological spaces. Salama et al. and Hur et al. [
2,
3,
4,
5,
6], for example, among many others, wrote their works in fuzzy neutrosophic topological spaces (FNTS), following Chang [
7]’s discoveries in the way of fuzzy topological spaces (FTS).
Šostak, in 1985 [
8], marked out a new definition of fuzzy topology as a crisp subfamily of family of fuzzy sets, which seems to be a drawback in the process of fuzzification of the concept of topological spaces. Yan, Wang, Nanjing, Liang, and Yan [
9,
10] developed a parallel theory in the context of intuitionistic
I-fuzzy topological spaces.
The idea of “single-valued neutrosophic set” [
11] was set out by Wang in 2010. Gayyar [
12], in his 2016 paper, foregrounded the concept of a “smooth neutrosophic topological spaces”. The ordinary single-valued neutrosophic topology was presented by Kim [
13]. Recently, Saber et al. [
14,
15] familiarized the concepts of single-valued neutrosophic ideal open local function, single-valued neutrosophic topological space, and the connectedness and stratification of single-valued neutrosophic topological spaces.
Neutrosophy, and especially neutrosophic sets, are powerful, general, and formal frameworks that generalize the concept of the ordinary sets, fuzzy sets, and intiuitionistic fuzzy sets from philosophical point of view. This paper sets out to introduce and examine a new class of sets called r-single valued £-closed in the single valued neutrosophic topological spaces in Šostak’s sense. More precisely, different attributes, like £-single valued neutrosophic irresolute mapping, £-single valued neutrosophic extremally disconnected, £-single valued neutrosophic normal spaces, and some kinds of separation axioms, were developed. It can be fairly claimed that we have achieved expressive definitions, distinguished theorems, important lemmas, and counterexamples to investigate, in-depth, our consequences and to find out the best results. It is notable to say that different crucial notions in single valued neutrosophic topology were generalized in this article. Different attributes, like extremally disconnected and some kinds of separation axioms, which have a significant impact on the overall topology’s notions, were also studied.
It is notable to say that the application aspects to this area of research can be further pointed to. There are many applications of neutrosophic theories in many branches of sciences. Possible applications are to control engineering and to Geographical Information Systems, and so forth, and could be secured, as mentioned by many authors, such as Reference [
