engineering, Molodtsov [7] introduced the concept of soft sets, since no math-
ematics tools can successfully deal with various kinds of uncertainties in these
problems. In 2005, Pie and Miao [8] improved the results of Maji et al. [5].
Recently, in 2011 Shabir and Munaza Naz [9] initiated the study of soft topo-
logical spaces, further many researchers like Aygunoglu [2], Ahmad [3], Maji
[6], Hussain [4] continued work on soft topology.
In 2016 Ahu Acikgöz and Nihal Tas [1] introduced the concept of binary soft
set theory on two initial universal sets and investigated some properties. In this
study we initiate the notion of binary soft topological spaces which are defined
over two initial universal sets with a fixed set of parameters. Then we discuss
some basic properties of binary soft topological spaces and define binary soft
open and closed sets. In this paper, with the help of examples we have shown
that a binary soft topological spaces gives collection of parameterized family of
binary soft topologies on the two initial universal sets and the converse is not
true.
The notions of binary soft open sets, binary soft closed sets, binary soft
closure, binary soft interior, binary soft boundary, binary soft neighborhood
of a point are introduced and their basic properties are investigated with the
suitable examples. Binary soft topological spaces are more wide ranging and
generalized than the classical topological spaces and soft topological spaces.
The organization of the paper is as follows: Section 2 briefly reviews some
basic concepts about soft sets, binary soft sets and their related properties;
Section 3 we present some fundamental concepts in binary soft open sets, binary
soft closed sets, binary soft closure, binary soft interior, binary soft boundary,
binary soft neighborhood of a point and their basic properties are investigated
with the suitable examples. Section 4 is conclusion of the paper.
Definition 4. ([1]) The union of two binary soft sets of (F, A) and (G, B)
over the common U1 , U2 is the binary soft set (H, C), where C = A ∪ B and for
all e ∈ C,
(X1 , Y1 ),
if e ∈ A − B
H(e) = (X2 , Y2 ), if e ∈ B − A (1)
(X1 ∪ X2 , Y1 ∪ Y2 ), if e ∈ A ∩ B
such that (F (e) = (X1 , Y1 ) for each e ∈ A and (G(e) = (X2 , Y2 ) for each e ∈ B.
We denote it (F, A)∪˜
˜ (G, A) = (H, C).
Definition 5. ([1]) The intersection of two binary soft sets (F, A) and
(G, B) over a common U1 , U2 is the binary soft set (H,C), where C = A ∩ B,
and H(e) = (X1 ∩ X2 , Y1 ∩ Y2 ) for each e ∈ C such that F (e) = (X1 , Y1 ) for

each e ∈ A and G(e) = (X2 , Y2 ) for each e ∈ B. We denote it (F, A)∩
(H, C).
Definition 6. ([1]) Let (F, A) and (G, B) be two binary soft sets over a
common U1 , U2 . (F, A) is called a binary soft subset of (G,B) if:
(i) A ⊆ B,
(ii) X1 ⊆ X2 and Y1 ⊆ Y2 such that F (e) = (X1 , Y1 ), G(e) = (X2 , Y2 ) for each
e ∈ A. We denote it (F, A) ˜˜⊆(G, B).
Definition 8. ([1]) The difference of two binary soft sets (F, A) and (G, A)
over the common U1 , U2 is the binary soft set (H, A), where H(e) = (X1 −
X2 , Y1 − Y2 ) for each e ∈ A such that (F, A) = (X1 , Y1 ) and (G, A) = (X2 , Y2 ).

Throughout the paper let U1 , U2 be two initial universe sets and E be a set of
parameters. Let P (U1 ), P (U1 ) denote the power set of U1 , U2 , respectively.
Definition 12. Let U1 , U2 be the two initial universe sets and E be a set
of parameters and τ∆ = ˜ X̃}.
{φ̃, ˜ Then τ∆ is called the binary soft indiscrete
topology on U1 , U2 and (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , E) is said to be a binary soft indiscrete
space over U1 , U2 .
Definition 13. Let U1 , U2 be the two initial universe sets and E be a set
of parameters and let τ∆ be the collection of all binary soft sets which can be
defined over U1 , U2 . The τ∆ is called the binary soft discrete topology on U1 ,
U2 and (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , E) is said to be a binary soft discrete space over U1 , U2 .
Remark 15. Any binary soft collection of sets needs not to be a binary
soft topology. The following example shows this.

Example 16. τ∆ = {X̃, {(e1 , ({a4 , a5 }, {b2 , b3 }), (e2 , ({a3 }, {b4 })}

Theorem 19. Let (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , E) and (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , E) be two binary soft

Thus ∪ i∈I i ∆ ˜ τ∆ .

Therefore (I, E) is binary soft closed set containing (I,E)→(1).
But (H, E) is the smallest binary soft closed set containing (H,E)⇒(2).

From (1) and (2) it follows that (H, E) is smaller than (I, E), that is (H, E) ⊆

˜ (I, E) is the binary soft closed set containing (H, E)∪

˜ (I, E) is the smallest binary soft closed set containing (H, E)∪
But (H, E)∪ ˜˜ (I, E)

Comparing (1) and (2), we have (H, E)∪ ˜˜ (I, E) is smaller than (H, E)∪

Thus from (1) and (2) we have (H, E)∪ ˜˜ (I, E) = (H, E)∪ ˜˜ (I, E).

Definition 22. Let (H, A) be the binary soft set of a binary topolog-
ical space (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , A) over U1 , U2 . Then we associate point wise binary
soft closure of (F, E) over U1 , U2 , which is denoted by (H, A) and defined as
(H, A)(α) = (H, A)(α) , where (H, A)(α) is the binary soft closure of (H, A)(α) in
(U1 , U2 , τ∆ , A) for each α ∈ A.
Proof. For any parameter α ∈ E, (H, A)(α) is the smallest binary soft closed

set in (U1 , U2 , τα , A) which contains (H, A)(α) . Moreover, if (H, A)(α) = (L, A)
then (L, A) is also a binary soft closed set in (U1 , U2 , τα , A) containing (H, A)(α) .
This implies that (H, A)(α) = (H, A) ⊆(L, ˜˜ A). Thus (H, A)⊆(H, ˜˜ A). square

Theorem 24. Let (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , A) be the binary soft topological space and

(F,A) be the binary soft set over (U1 , U2 , then (F , A)⊆(F, A).

Thus there exists a binary soft open set [(K, E)∩
˜ ˜˜
˜ (L, E)]⊆[(F,
ex ∈ [(K, E)∩ ˜˜ (G, E)].
E)∩
From the definition of soft binary neighborhood, it follows that [(F, E)∩ ˜˜ (G, E)]
is a binary soft neighborhood of ex . Thus, the intersection of any two binary
soft neighborhood is again binary soft neighborhood.
(iii) Let (U1 , U2 , τ∆ , E) be a binary soft topological space. Let ex ∈ E be any
binary soft point, and let (F,E) be a binary soft neighborhood of ex . Let (G, E)
be any binary soft superset of (F, E). Now, since (G, E) is also a binary soft
neighborhood of ex therefore there exists a binary soft open set (H, E) such
that ex ∈ (H, E)⊆(F, ˜
˜ E) → (1).
Now, (F, E) is binary soft subset of (G, E) this implies (G, E)⊇(F, ˜˜ E) implies
˜
˜
(F, E)⊆(G, E) → (2).
From (1) and (2) we have ex ∈ (H, E)⊆(F, ˜˜ ˜˜
E)⊆(G, E), which implies ex ∈
˜
˜
(H, E)⊆(G, E). Thus there exists a binary soft open set (H, E) such that
ex ∈ (H, E)⊆(G,˜
˜ E). Therefore (G, E) is a binary soft neighborhood of ex .
Thus every binary soft superset of a binary neighborhood is again a binary soft
neighborhood of that point.
set (H, E) contained in (F, E). Thus (F, E)⊙ is the largest binary soft open set
contained in (F, E).
(iii) Suppose (F, E) is binary soft open. Therefore (F, E) is a binary soft open
set contained in (F, E) (i.e. (F, E)⊆(F, ˜
˜ E)). →(1).

But (F, E) is the largest binary soft open set contained in (F, E). → (2).
Therefore from (1) and (2) it follows that (F, E)⊙ must be larger than (F, E),

that is (F, E)⊙ ⊇(F, ˜˜

→(3).
But (F, E)⊙ ⊆(F,˜
˜ E) is always true. → (4).
From (3) and (4) we have (F, E)=(F, ˜
˜ E)⊙ . Note that the right hand side result,
⊙
that is (F, E) is a binary soft open set. Therefore left hand side of the result
that is (F, E) must be a binary soft open set. Consequently, (F, E) is a binary
soft open set. If (F, E)=(F, ˜
˜ E)⊙ , then (F, E) is a binary soft open set. Hence
(F, E) is binary soft open if and only if (F, E)=(F, ˜˜ E)⊙ .
Let (F, E), (G, E) be any two binary soft subset over U1 , U2 , then the following
properties hold true:

(v) [(F, E) ] = (F, E) . ⊙
Proof. (i) We know that X̃ ˜ is binary soft open set. This implies X̃ ˜ ⊙= ˜
˜˜ X̃.
(Since (F, E) is open if and only if (F, E)=(F,˜˜ E)⊙ ). Therefore X̃˜ ⊙= ˜
˜˜ X̃.
(ii) The result follows from (i).
(iii) Suppose (F, E)⊆(G, ˜
˜ E), then we know that (F, E)⊙ ⊆(F,˜˜ E) and (F, E)
˜
˜
⊆(G, ⊙
E), therefore (F, E) ⊆(G,˜

E). Therefore (F, E) is a binary soft open set
contained in (G, E)→ (1).
But (G, E)⊙ is the largest binary open set contained in (G, E)→ (2).
From (1) and (2) we have (G, E)⊙ is the larger than (F, E)⊙ , that is (F, E)⊙
is smaller than (G, E)⊙ , then (F, E)⊙ ⊆(G, ˜˜ ˜˜

(e3 , ({a1 , a2 }, {b3 }), (e4 , ({a5 }, {b2 })}

U1 , U2 and let (F, E) be any binary soft set then we always have

3. Conclusion
The soft set theory is very important tool to study the concepts of classical and
non classical logic. Recently the binary soft set theory has been introduced by
Ahu Acikgöz and Nihal Tas. In this paper, we introduce binary soft topological
spaces which are defined over two initial universe sets with a fixed set of pa-
rameters. Many basic results like binary soft open sets, binary soft closed sets,
binary soft closure, binary soft interior, binary soft boundary, binary soft neigh-
borhood of a point are introduced and their basic properties are investigated
with the suitable examples. These results are important for further research on
binary soft topology.
