1. Introduction
Topology is important in many fields of mathematics and computer science. Many topological principles have been applied to solve numerous natural problems, attracting scholars from various disciplines of the natural and social sciences. In topology, several novel ideas have been introduced, resulting in various new areas of research. Filters are among the most significant structures in classical topology [
1], alongside ideals [
2] and grills [
3]. Ideals were defined for the first time by Kuratowski [
2]. On the other hand, the concept of a grill was introduced in [
3]. It is worth noting that the concept of an ideal is the dual of a filter; however, ideal topological spaces have assisted scholars in introducing several new fields of topological space [
4].
To the best of our knowledge, before [
5], there was no literature on the dual construction of a grill.
Recently, Acharjee et al. [
5] introduced a new structure called a ‘primal’. This structure presents not only several primal-related fundamental features, but also some links between primal topological spaces and topological spaces. Primals [
5] appear to be the dual of the concept of grills, while the dual of filters are ideals. Later, in [
6], we used primals to establish several new operators in primal topological spaces. Proximity space is one of the common topics mathematics, computer science, and pattern recognition. Recently, Al-Omari et al. [
7] introduced a new structure named a primal proximity space. In addition, two new operators were implemented via primal proximity spaces to define and investigate some of their fundamental properties.
As a logical extension of the primal crisp topologies defined in [
5], Al-shami et al. [
8] proposed the new structure of a primal soft topology, and Ameen et al. [
9] introduced a novel fuzzy structure called a fuzzy primal. The rationale for the creation of a unique framework that enables the establishment of new soft ideas and attributes is to enhance research on soft settings. Next, we devise a novel method for creating a soft topology, drawing inspiration from certain soft operators. In conclusion, we validate the significance of soft environments in offering several types of analogs for each classical notion. That is, different forms of belonging connections between soft sets and ordinary points may be used to create different kinds of soft operators and then generate certain types of soft topologies.
In
Section 3 of this document, we discuss an innovative category of operator called a primal local closure operator. We define the primal local closure operator and investigate some of its fundamental properties in
Section 4. In addition, we describe some of its basic topological features that are appropriate for a primal and define one more operator via the local closure operator. Furthermore, a weaker topology compared to the previous one is obtained via these new operators.
The class of
-open sets was established by Veličko [
10] in 1968. A set
U is a
-open set if each point in
U has an open neighborhood and
U contains its closure. The union of all
-open subsets of
U in
G is the
-interior of a
U, denoted as
. Naturally, a
-open set’s counterpart is referred to as a
-closed set. A set
U is
-closed iff
for every
specifically if
, which is the complement of a
-open set, is said to be
-closed. It should be emphasized that a space
iff
is regular. Moreover, all
-open sets form a topology on
G that is coarser than
and is denoted by
. More fundamental properties of primal spaces and primal soft topological spaces were introduced in [
7,
8,
11,
12,
13,
14].
