1 Introduction

Information about the world around is inaccurate and incomplete or uncertain. Granulation of information is very necessary to solve human problems, and thus have a very significant impact on the design and implementation of intelligent systems (Abualigaha et al. 2021; Abualigaha and Diabatb 2021). Decision making plays an important role in our daily life, there are many applications of decision making, such as (Alblowi et al. 2021; Alharthi and El Safty 2015). Topology is an important branch of mathematics which contains several subfields such as soft topology, algebraic topology, and differential topology (El Sayed 2017; Navalagi 2000). These subfields increase the limit of the topological applications (Alharthi and Safty 2015; Creco et al. 2006). The field of topology has many results and concepts, which can help us to discover the hidden information of data, composed of real-life applications (El Safty and Alkhathami 2020; Kozae et al. 2012). The topological methods are thus compatible with the processing static methods and geometric representation (Akiyama and Thuswaldner 2004). There exist many applications of topology such as information systems as well as other fields of topology applications; it is better to name these fields (Stone 1937).

The topological concepts include continuity, irresoluteness, compactness, connectedness, and continuous. The topological structure \(\tau \) on a set \(X\) is a general tool for constructing the basic concepts of topology (Abd El-Monsef 1980,2016; El Sayed 2006). Mashhour and Hassanien (1983) further presented the concept of α-continuous functions. In addition, Navalagi (Navalagi 2000) introduced the concept of α-open sets. As topological spaces, X and Y are often used in the present analysis. Let A be the X subset. Int(A) and cl(A) are denoted by the interior and the closure of a set, respectively; the alpha interior and alpha closure of the set are denoted by \(\alpha \) int(A) and \(\alpha \,cl(A)\).

Pawlak's (Pawlak 1991) foundation of the rough set theory was based on the forest chaos originated from insufficient and an incomplete information system. Rough set attribute reduction provides a filter-based technique by which knowledge can be compactly extracted from a domain, preserving the quality of the information while reducing the amount of knowledge involved. We assume only the category of attribute reduced is determined by the criterion of preserving the sure region as is provided by the entire set of attributes. It is necessary to note that the same statement can be used to research other reduced categories (Greco et al. 2010; Kozae et al. 2012; Lashin et al. 2005; Yao and Chen 2005).

In this paper, the authors defined the simply* alpha open set, simply* alpha normal and alpha simply alpha normal, (briefly, \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} - \alpha\) open set, \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} - \alpha\) normal, \(\alpha \mathop S\limits^{M} \alpha -\)normal). The complement of all (\(\alpha\)-open “\(\alpha \,o(X)\)”, open “\(o(X)\)”, semi-open “\(S\,o(X)\)”, and pre-open “\(P\,o(X)\)”) sets are (\(\alpha \, - \,{\text{closed}}\,\)\(\alpha { - }C{(}X{)}\)”, closed “\(C(X)\)”, semi-closed “\(S\,C(X)\)”, and pre-closed “\(P\,C(X)\)”) sets. The families of open sets of X’s (resp. simply alpha open and simply open set) are denoted by (\(\mathop S\limits^{M} \alpha o\left( X \right)\) and \(\mathop S\limits^{M} o(X)\)). These topological concepts with their fundamental properties were studied in the current investigation in order to obtain a proposed accuracy.

We believe that the work done in this research is crucial as it presents a proposal that uses the attributes as compared with the prior works usage of objects and it also discusses properties of the simply* alpha open set as shown in Fig. 1. We also introduced a proposed accuracy that depends upon the simply* alpha open set. In conclusion, our survey outlines a new model that gets major accuracies, competing with Pawlak and Yao methods. The results were given using the MATLAB programme.

Show the simply* alpha open set and the topological concepts

The paper is structured as follows: the basic concepts of the simply* alpha open set (briefly, \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} - \alpha\) open set) were explored in section two and section three. In section four, some proposed concepts were simply* alpha normal. Also, we introduced a new concept to calculate the degree of accuracy, which has been applied in section five, and section six concludes and highlights future scope.

2 Preliminaries

The notes and definitions that were used in this study are provided below:

Definition 2.1

El Sayed (2006) If \(f:\,(X,\,\tau )\, \to \,(Y,\,\sigma )\) is called:

  1. i.

    Alpha-irresolute (briefly, α-irresolute), if \(f^{ - 1} \,(G)\, \in \alpha \,o(X)\) for each \(G\, \in \,\,\alpha \,o(Y)\).

  1. i.

    Alpha open set (\(\alpha -\)open) if \(A \subseteq \,{\text{int}} (cl({\text{int}} (A)))\).

  2. ii.

Definition 2.3

El Sayed (2006) A topological space (X, \(\uptau \)) is called:

  1. i.

    Normal space if for every \(F_{1} ,\,F_{2} \in \,\tau^{C} ,\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi ,\) then there exist \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\tau ,\,U \cap \,\,V = \,\phi\), such that \(F_{1} \, \subseteq \,\,U\) and \(F_{2} \, \subseteq \,\,V\).

  2. ii.

    \(\alpha -\)normal space if for every \(F_{1} ,\,F_{2} \in \,\alpha \,c(X),\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi ,\) then there exist \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\alpha \,o(X),\,U \cap \,\,V = \,\phi\), such that \({F}_{1}\subset U\) and \({F}_{2}\subset V .\)

Definition 2.4

Pawlak (1991) \(\left( {U, \, R} \right)\) is an information system, E ∈ R, let \(xR\) be an after set defined by:\( xR \, = \{ y \in U \, : \, x \, R \, y\} ,\) E is dispensable in R if IND (R) = IND(R-{E}), (Reduct), but IND (R) ≠ IND(R-{E}), then E is indispensable in R (Core) and R-lower, R-upper approximations of X as: \(\underline{R} \left( X \right) = \cup \{ \,Y \in \,{U \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {U R}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} R},Y \subseteq X\} , \overline{R} \left( X \right) = \cup \{ \,Y \in {U \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {U R}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} R},Y \cap X \ne \varphi \} .\)

3 simply* continuity of soft multifunction

In the following section, we introduce some types of simply \(\alpha\)-open set, simply* α-open set, simply* α-closed and simply* alpha limit point.

Definition 3.1

Let a topological space \((X,\,\tau )\), \(E\, \subseteq \,\,X\) is called simply \(\alpha\)-open set if \(\alpha \,{\text{int}} \,(\alpha \,cl(E)) \subseteq \,\alpha \,cl(\alpha {\text{int}} (E)\).

Definition 3.2

A subset \(E\) of a topological space \((X,\,\tau )\) is called an simply* α-open (for short, \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-open) set if E ∈ {\(\rm{X}\), \({\varnothing }. G\cup N:G\) is a proper α-open set, and \(N\) is a nowhere dense set}. The family of all simply* \(\alpha\)-open set of set X is denoted by \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o(X)\). The complement of simply* \(\alpha\)-open set is said to be simply* α-closed (for short,\(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-closed) set.

The following Fig. 1 presents the relationships between simply* alpha open sets and some other types of open sets.

Example 3.1

Let \(X = \,\{ b,\,\,c,\,\,d,\,\,a\,\} ,\) \(\tau = \,\{ X,\,\,\phi ,\,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} ,\,\{ c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a\} \,\} .\,\) Then, we have \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha \,o(X) = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a,\,b\} ,\,\{ c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a\} ,\,\{ b,\,c,\,d\} \} ,\,\)\(\alpha \,o(X) = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ a\} ,\,\{ c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} \} ,\,\) \(\mathop S\limits^{M} o(X) = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ a\} ,\,\{ \,b\} ,\,\{ a,\,b\} ,\,\{ \,c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} ,\,\{ b,\,c,\,d\} \} .\,\) Then, we have the set {b}\(\in \)\(\mathop S\limits^{M} o(X)\) but {b}\(\notin\) \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o(X)\) and {b, c, d}\(\in \)\(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o(X)\), but {b, c, d}\(\notin\)\(\alpha o(X)\).

Example 3.2

Let \(X = \,\{ a,\,b,\,c,\,d\,\} ,\) \(\tau = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ a\} ,\,\{ c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} \,\} .\,\) Then, we have \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o(X) = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ b\} ,\,\{ c\} ,\,\{ a,\,b\} ,\,\{ b,\,c\} ,\,\{ b,\,d\} ,\,\{ c,\,d\} ,\,\{ a,\,c\} ,\,\{ a,\,b,\,c\} ,\,\{ a,\,c,\,d\} ,\,\{ b,\,c,\,d\} \} ,\,\) \(S\,o(X) = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\{ a\} ,\,\{ a,\,d\} ,\,\{ b,\,c\} ,\,\{ a,\,b,\,c\} ,\,\{ b,\,c,\,d\} \}\). Then, we have the set \(\{ b,\,d\} \, \in \mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha \,o(X)\), but \(\{ b,\,d\} \notin \,So(X)\).

Remark 3.1

If \((X,\,\tau )\) is a topological space, the class of simply α-open sets " \(\mathop S\limits^{M} \alpha \,o\left( X \right)\)" of \(X\) and the class of simply closed sets of \(X\)"\(\mathop S\limits^{M} \alpha \,c\left( X \right)\)".

Definition 3.3

For \(p\, \in \,\,X\,\,{\text{and}}\,\)\((X,\,\tau )\) is a topological space; p is called simply* alpha limit point (briefly \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-limit point of \(E\) if for every \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-open set \(G\) containing \(p\) contains a point of \(E\) other than \(p\). The set of all \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-limit points of \(E\) is called simply* alpha-derived set of \(E\)\((\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha - d(A))\).

4 simply* alpha normal

Here, we discussed some types of normality and regularity based on simply* open set and simply alpha open set.

Definition 4.1

For a topological space \((X,\,\tau )\) is called:

  1. i.

    Alpha simply* alpha-normal space, \(\forall \,F_{1} ,\,F_{2} \in \,\alpha \,c(X),\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi \, \to \exists \,U,\,V\, \in \,S^{M} \alpha \,o(X)\) such that \(U\, \cap \,\,V\, = \,\phi\) and \({F}_{1}U\) and\({F}_{2}V\).

  2. ii.

    simply* alpha-normal space,\(\forall \,F_{1} ,\,F_{2} \in \,\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha \,c(X),\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi \, \to \exists \,\,U,\,V\, \in \,\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha \,o(X)\), such that \(U\, \cap \,\,V\, = \,\phi\) and \({F}_{1}U\) and\({F}_{2}V\).

Remark 4.1

The next Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the new types of normality, which are mentioned in the previous definition, alpha simply alpha normal space properly contains alpha simply* alpha normal, alpha normal and simply* alpha normal.

Fig. 2
figure 2

Illustration of some relationships of topological concepts

The next example No. 4.1 illustrates that the effects of in Fig. 2 need not to be reversible.

Example 4.1

Let a topological space \((X,\,\tau )\), \(X = \,\{ b,\,c,\,a\} ,\) \(\tau = \,\{ X,\,\phi ,\,\,\{ b,\,c\} ,\,\{ c\} \} ,\) then \(\left( {X,{{ \tau }}} \right){\text{ is}}\).\(\alpha\)\(\mathop S\limits^{M} \alpha\)-normal but not \({\upalpha }\)-normal, since there exist \(\{ a\} ,\,\{ b\} \, \in \,\alpha \,c(X)\) but there is no disjoint \({\upalpha }\)-open sets containing them.

Proposition 4.1

For \((X,\,\tau )\) is a topological space then:

  1. i.

    Every alpha simply* alpha normal space is alpha simply alpha normal space.

  2. ii.

    Every simply* alpha normal space is alpha simply* alpha normal space

Proofs

  1. i.

    Let \(F_{1} ,\,F_{2} \in \,\alpha \,c(X),\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi ,\) since \((X,\,\tau )\) alpha simply* alpha normal space, then there exists a disjoint simply* alpha open set \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\,{\mathop S\limits^{M}}^{*} \alpha \,o\left( X \right)\) such that \(F_{1} \, \subseteq \,U\) and \(F_{2} \, \subseteq \,V\) and since every simply* alpha open set is simply alpha open set, i.e. \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\,{\mathop S\limits^{M}}^{*} \alpha \,o\left( X \right)\) then \(F_{1} \, \subseteq \,U\) and \(F_{2} \, \subseteq \,V\). Thus, \((X,\,\tau )\) is alpha simply alpha normal space.

  2. ii.

    Let \(F_{1} ,\,\,F_{2} \in \,\,\alpha \,c(X),\,F_{1} \cap F_{2} = \phi ,\) since \((X,\,\tau )\) simply* alpha normal space, then there exists disjoint simply* alpha open set \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\,{\mathop S\limits^{M}}^{*} \alpha \,o\left( X \right)\) every alpha closed set is simply* alpha closed set there exist \(U,\,\,V\, \in \,\,S^{M} \alpha \,c\left( X \right)\) and \(F_{1} \, \subseteq \,U\) and \(F_{2} \, \subseteq \,V\). Thus, \((X,\,\tau )\) is alpha simply* alpha normal space. □

5 Application

Definition 5.1

For the information system \(\left( {X,R,\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o\left( X \right)} \right)\) is a \(\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha\)-approximation space associated with relation R over a set \(X\) and \(E \subseteq X,\) simply* α-lower and simply* α-upper are defined: \(\mathop B\limits_{ - S*\alpha } E = \cup \left\{ {G,G \in \mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o\left( X \right),G \subseteq E} \right\},\mathop B\limits^{ - S*\alpha } \left( E \right) = \cap \left\{ {F,F \in \mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha c\left( X \right),F \supseteq E} \right\},\) respectively. The accuracy of the simply* \(\alpha\)-lower and simply* \(\alpha\)-upper approximations of \(E\) in \(\left( {X,R,\mathop S\limits^{M*} \alpha o(X)} \right)\) is defined by \(\mu (E) = \left| {\tfrac{{\mathop B\limits_{ - S*\alpha } \left( E \right)}}{{\mathop B\limits^{ - S*\alpha } \left( E \right)}}} \right|\), where |.| denotes the cardinality of the set.

Definition 5.2

\(\forall \,B \subset \,E,\) RB \(\subseteq \) U \(\times \) U is defined by \(wR_{B} z = \tfrac{{\sum\limits_{I \in B} {\left| {i(w) - i(z)} \right|} }}{\left| B \right|} \le \alpha\), where \(\left|B\right|\) is the cardinality of B and \(\alpha\) represents any number and where \(\alpha\) is calculated by an expert of the field, for example, let B = {E2}, \(\left|B\right|\) =1, \(w\,R_{1} z \leftrightarrow \left| {i(w) - i(z)} \right|/1 \le \alpha\).

5.1 Data gathering

Using the data of the securities business of market (Alblowi et al. 2021), the application of the method is conducted where u = {y1, y2, …, y10} denotes 10 listed companies, the attributes of companies.

b = {b1, b2, …, b8} and D = {d} = {decision of investment}.

The coding is shown by converting a value from 0 to 1 as: Snew = (SoldSmin)/(SmaxSmin), and dividing the interval [0, 1] into 3 parts, the consequence of Table 1 discretion using the \(E\)-means clustering is the following Table 2,

Table 1 Business statement
Table 2 Discretion of Table 1

The coding attributes obtained by the following Algorithm are:

figure a

Also, we obtain Table 3 after the cancellation of symmetry; the objects are \({\varvec{U}}= \{{Y}_{1}, {Y}_{2}, \dots , {Y}_{8}\}\) which denote 8 mentioned companies. The attributes are B = {B1, B2, …, B6}, as shown in Table 3.

Table 3 Discretion of Table 2

When removing B1, we had the objects Y4 and Y3 which are the same, and when B3 was removed, we got Y5 and Y8 which are the same. Similarly, removing B4, we obtained Y4 and Y6 which are the same. We noticed that IND (B) ≠ IND (B–{B1}), IND (B) ≠ IND (B–{B3}) and IND (B) ≠ IND (B–{B4}). Then B1, B3 and B4 are indispensable. Also, removing B2, B5 and B6, we had IND (B) = IND (B–{B2}), IND (B) = IND (B–{B5}), and IND (B) = IND (B–{B6}). Then, B2, B5, and B6 were called superfluous, as shown in Table 4,

Table 4 Removing attributes

Then, {B1, B3, B4} were called the core, and B2, B5, and B6 were called the superfluous.

Now, we discuss the following data in Table 5,

Table 5 Work data

After classification of Table 5, we got the final Table 6

Table 6 Classification of data

Currently, we expressed the data of Table 6 in order to obtain the accuracy models.

  1. (i)

    One attributes case: Let C = {B2}, \(\left|C\right|\) =1, \(xR_{1} y \leftrightarrow \left| {i(x) - i(y)} \right|/1 \le \alpha\), as follows in Table 7.

Table 7 Similarity about attribute B2

Discusion 1

when \(\alpha \)≤ 0, we got the intelligence system that follows: xR1y = {(h1, h1), (h1, h3), (h2, h2), (h3, h1), (h3, h3), (h4, h4)}, then h1R1 = {h1, h3}, h2R1 = {h2}, h3R1 = {h1, h3}, h4R1 = {h4}. (x)R1 = {{h1, h3}, {h2}, {h4}} was called a class of For set.

Then, SR1 = {{h1, h3}, {h2}, {h4}} was a subbase of τ1, we got: ER1 = {Ø, {{h1, h3}, {h2}, {h4}} was a base of τ1, τ1 = {Ø, H, {h1, h3}, {h2}, {h4}, {h1, h2, h3}, {h2, h4}, {h1, h3, h4}}, \({\overline{\tau }}_{1}=\{\)Ø, H, {h2, h4}, {h1, h3, h4}, {h1, h2, h3}, {h4}, {h1, h3}, {h2}}, \({\overline{\tau }}_{1}\) was a complement of τ1. We gain all accuracies for all subset of U; B is a subset of U.

Results 1

The accuracies as given in Table 8 and Table 9.

We obtained all the accuracies as follows in Table 8 and Table 9, simply* alpha method and Yao, Pawlak's methods and the proposed method are \(\mu_{11} = \frac{{{\text{int}}(H)}}{cl(H)}\), \(\mu_{12} = \frac{{{\text{L}}(H)}}{{{\text{U}}(H)}}\), and \(\mu_{13} = \frac{{\mathop B\limits_{ - S*\alpha } (H)}}{{\mathop B\limits^{ - S*\alpha } (H)}}\) as shown in Table 8 and Table 9, respectively.

Using the methods of Pawlak and Yao methods, we obtained the accuracies as shown in Table 8,

As given in Table 9, we had the accuracy model via a simply* alpha open set.

Yao and Pawlak accuracies are shown in Table 8, but the proposed accuracy was given in Table 9. Consequently, it is obvious that our proposed accuracy is better than Yao and Pawlak accuracies, and for one attribute, it was noted that the proposed accuracy was the best of the others.

Table 9 Accuracy of data by simply* alpha

6 Conclusions

The present research clearly indicated that the accuracies of the information system are the function of the best attributes of the life information. simply* alpha open set method shows the best accuracy. When the simply* alpha open set method was used to introduce application on the information system of the business securities of the marketing, we get the best proposed accuracy when comparing other objects with other attributes, which can also be used in other sciences. Moreover, these results prompt us to safely express these concepts to be applied to other different areas of advanced topology. The rough set techniques were presented in the form of classification or decision rules obtained from a set of the previous applications. Additionally, our approach provided a new insight into the problem of attribute reduction, and also suggested more semantic properties preserved by an attribute reduction. Consequently, our method provides more flexibility to the decision-maker to choose which is suitable for him. We also obtained a proposed accuracy that depends upon the simply* alpha open set, which was found to be better than that of Yao and Pawlak accuracies. In the future, based on some topological studies, we will further expand the research content of this paper. Also, our approach has been used to help discover the most important symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
