1 INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARIES

It is well- Known that the effects of the investigation of

spaces of continuous functions and solution to differential
equations are the possible motivations for the formation of the
complement of S
-open (resp., semi-open, pre-open, -open
notion of, compactness. Compactness is now one of the most important, useful, and fundamental notions of not only general topology but also of other advanced branches of mathematics. Recently Khalaf A.B. et al. [13] introduced and
investigated the concepts of S -space and S -continuity. A

(resp., sclA, pclA , clA). The union of all S-open (resp.,

. The aim of this paper to give some
semi-open ,pre-open, -open) set of X contained in A is
characterizations of S -compact spaces in terms of nets and
filter-bases. We also introduce the notion of S -complete accumulation points by which we give some characterizations of S -compact spaces. Throughout the present paper, (X , ) and (Y , ) or simply X and Y denote topological space . In [14] Levine initiated semi open sets and their properties. Mathematicians gives in several papers interesting and different new types of sets. In [1] Abd-El-Moonsef defined the class of -open set. In [18] Shareef introduced a new class of
semi-open sets called S P - open sets. We recall the following
called the S-interior (resp., semi-interior, pre-interior, - interior) of A and denoted by S intA (resp., sintA , pintA ,
intA). The family of all S -open (resp., semi-open, pre-
open, -open -open, regular -open, regular open, S - closed, semi-closed , pre- closed, -closed , -closed , regular -closed , and regular closed) subset of a topological space X is denoted by SO(X) (resp., SO(X), PO(X),
O(X), O(X), R O(X), RO(X), SC(X), SC(X), PC(X),
C(X), C(X) , R C(X) and RC(X)). A subset A of X is

called -open [21] if for each x A
, there exists an open set B
of a subset A of X is denoted by clA (resp., intA). A subset A

such that x B  int clB A . A subset A of a space X is called

-semi-open [12] (resp., semi- -open [7] if for each

Proof: Similar to proof of Theorem 2.10.

Definition 2.12: A topological space ( X ,) is said to be S- compact (resp., S -closed) if for every cover {V:   } of X, by S -open sets, there exists a finite subset 0 of such that X  {V:   0 } (resp., X  {SclV:   0 } )
It is clear that S-compact is S-closed, but not conversely as shown in the following examples

Example 2.13: Consider an countable space X with Co-

countable topology. Since X is T1 , then by Proposition 1.3 the family of open, semi-open set and S- open sets are identical.

(X ,) and E is any -closed set containing x. If there exists F   such that F E (resp., F SclE ). Then S- converges (resp., S- converges) to a point x X .

{F( x ) :   } is a -closed cover of X, then by hypothesis, this family has a finite subcover such that

X  {F( xi ) ; i 1,2,...n}  {V( xi ) ; i 1, 2,...n} . Therefore

X  {V( xi ) : i 1, 2,...n} . Hence X is S-compact.

The following theorem shows the relation between S- compact and some other compactness

every x X , there exist ( x)   such that xV ( x ) . Since X is T1 by proposition 1.3, the family {V:   } is S -open cover of X. Since X is S-compact, there exists a finite subset

0 of in X such that X  {V:   0 } . Hence X is semi- compact.

Theorem 2.18: If a topological space (X ,) is locally indiscrete. Then S-compact space X is semi-compact . Proof: Follows from Theorem 1.4.
The following example shows that the condition of s-
regularity in Theorem 2.22 can not be dropped

Example 2.23: In Example 2.20 (X ,) is neither s-regular nor compact but it is S -closed because the only non-empty S- open set in (X ,) is X itself.

Theorem 2.24: Let X be an almost- regular space if X is S-
compact, then it is nearly compact.

Proof: Let {V:   } be any regular open cover of X, Since X

is almost- regular space then for each x X and each regular open set V ( x ) , there exist an open set Gx such that

Proof: Let {V:   } be any open cover of X. Since X is - regular By Proposition 1.7, {V:   } forms an S -open cover of X. Since X is S -compact, there exists a finite subset

0 of such that Sint F0 Scl(X \ F0 )   , hence X is

semi-open for each    , since X is semi-regular for each

(ii) (i): Now it is enough to prove that each infinite subset has an S-complete accumulation point by utilizing above theorem. Suppose that S X is an infinite subset of X.
According to Zorns Lemma, the infinite set S can be well- ordered. This means that we can assume S to be a net with a domain which is a well ordered index set. It follows that S has S- adherent point z. Therefore is an S-complete
