Abstract

The notion of contra continuous functions was introduced and investigated by Dontchev. In this paper, we apply the notion of $\beta^{*}$-closed sets in topological space to present and study a new class of functions called contra $\beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $\beta^{*}$-continuous functions as a new generalization of contra continuity.
