Introduction The foundational framework of fuzzy sets, introduced by Lofti A.Zadeh [20] in 1965, offers a powerful mathematical framework to handle the complexities that arise from ambiguity in practical, real world scenarios. This concept has been employed across various fields, including economics, sociology and medical science, where researchers frequently encounter vague, imprecise and occasionally incomplete information. These fields utilize fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic to model uncertain data for a range of specialized purposes. Standard fuzzy sets are defined by their membership value or degree of membership, although assigning this value can sometimes be challenging. Chang [6] in 1968 introduced fuzzy sets into topology under the framework known as fuzzy topological spaces. Building on this foundational idea, in the 1986, K T. Atanassov [2] introduced intuitionstic fuzzy sets, which build on fuzzy sets by including a non-membership degree in addition to degree of membership. Coker [7] in 1997 introduced intuitionistic fuzzy sets into the realm of topology, defining them as intuitionstic fuzzy topological spaces. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are limited to managing incomplete information by considering both membership and non-membership values. However, they do not address uncertain and contradictory information often found in belief systems. To tackle these issues, Florentin Smarandache [17] introduced the concept of neutrosophic set in 2005, which serves as a mathematical framework for dealing with imprecise, indeterminate, and inconsistent data. In 2012, Salama and Alblowi [14] proposed the concept of neutrosophic topological spaces. In 1999, Molodstov [12] initiated the soft set principle as a versatile mathematical approach that addresses parameterization issues and surpasses the limitations of other uncertainty theories. This theory is highly practical, efficient and widely applicable across different disciplines. Molodstov's implementations of soft set principle include domains such as function mailto:madhunika2020@gmail.com Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis ISSN: 1074-133X Vol 32 No. 10s (2025) 2443 https://internationalpubls.com analysis, decision making, operational research and integrative mathematics among others. As a result, soft set theory has gained significant traction and continuous to advance rapidly in diverse fields. In 2011, Shabir and Naz [16] initiated the notion of soft topological spaces. Subsequently, in 2013 Maji [10] introduced the neutrosophic soft set concept, which inspired numerous mathematicians to explore its applications in various mathematical frameworks. Modification by Deli and Broumi [8] further refined this framework, while Bera and Mahapatra [3] explored its algebric structures. In 2011, A. I. EI-Magharabi and A. M. Mubarki [9] introduced Z-open sets in topological spaces. In 2020, A. Vadivel et al [18] proposed Z-open sets in neutrosophic topological spaces. This paper primarily aims to introduce and explore the concepts of contra Z-continuous maps, contra Z-irresolute maps, contra Z-open maps, and contra Z-closed maps in neutrosophic soft topological spaces, using neutrosophic soft Z-open sets. We analyze and discuss their fundamental properties, along with the notions of contra Z homeomorphisms and Z-C homeomorphisms, providing examples and theorems that contribute to further research in neutrosophic soft topology. 2. Preliminaries This section offers a summary of essential definitions refers to neutrosophic sets, soft sets and neutrosophic soft sets to ensure thorough understanding. Definition 2.1 [15] Let π•Ž be an underlying universe. A neutrosophic set (in short, NS) D is an object having the form D = {βŒ©π‘€, πœ‡π·(𝑀), 𝜎𝐷(𝑀), 𝜈𝐷(𝑀)βŒͺ ∢ 𝑀 ∈ π•Ž} where πœ‡π· β†’ [0, 1] denote the degree of membership function, 𝜎𝐷 β†’ [0, 1] denote the degree of inderterminacy function and 𝜈𝐷 β†’ [0, 1] denote the degree of non-membership function respectively of each element 𝑀 ∈ π•Ž to the set D and 0 ≀ πœ‡π·(𝑀) + 𝜎𝐷(𝑀) + 𝜈𝐷(𝑀) ≀ 3 for each 𝑀 ∈ π•Ž. Definition 2.2 [12] Assume that π•Ž is the underlying universe & let 𝜚 is a parameter set. Let 𝒫(π•Ž) represent the collection of all neutrosophic sets within π•Ž. A pair (D, 𝜚) is known as the soft set(shortly, SS) over π•Ž, where D is a mapping D : 𝜚 β†’ 𝒫(π•Ž). In other terms, a soft set can be viewed as a collection of subsets of the set π•Ž, each associated with a specific parameter. Definition 2.3 [8] Assume that π•Ž is the underlying universe & let 𝜚 is a parameter set. Let 𝒫(π•Ž) represent the collection of all neutrosophic sets within π•Ž. Then a neutrosophic soft set (𝑆, 𝜚) over π•Ž (shortly, NSS) is characterized by (𝑆, 𝜚) = {(πœ‘, βŒ©νœ€, πœ‡π‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœŽπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœˆπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€)βŒͺ ∢ νœ€ ∈ π•Ž) ∢ πœ‘ ∈ 𝜚}, where πœ‡π‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœŽπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœˆπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€) ∈ [0, 1] are respectively called the degree of membership function, the degree of indeterminacy function and the degree of non-membership function of 𝑆(πœ‘). As the maximum value for each of πœ‡, 𝜎, 𝜈 is 1. The inequality 0 ≀ πœ‡π‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€) + πœŽπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€) + πœˆπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€) ≀ 3 naturally holds. Definition 2.4 [[10], [4]] Assume that π•Ž is an underlying universe & NS sets (𝑆, 𝜚) & (𝐷, 𝜚) are in the form (𝑆, 𝜚) = {(πœ‘, βŒ©νœ€, πœ‡π‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœŽπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€), πœˆπ‘†(πœ‘)(νœ€)βŒͺ ∢ νœ€ ∈ π•Ž) ∢ πœ‘ ∈ 𝜚} & (𝐷, 𝜚) = {(πœ‘, βŒ©νœ€, πœ‡π·(πœ‘)(νœ€), 𝜎𝐷(πœ‘)(νœ€), 𝜈𝐷(πœ‘)(νœ€)βŒͺ ∢ νœ€ ∈ π•Ž) ∢ πœ‘ ∈ 𝜚}, then Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis ISSN: 1074-133X Vol 32 No. 10s (2025) 2444 https://internationalpubls.com 1. 0(π•Ž,𝜚) = {(πœ‘, βŒ©νœ€, 0, 0, 1βŒͺ: νœ€ ∈ π•Ž): πœ‘ ∈ 𝜚} and 1(π•Ž,𝜚) = {(πœ‘, βŒ©νœ€, 1, 1, 0βŒͺ ∢ νœ€ ∈ π•Ž): πœ‘ ∈ 𝜚}. 2.

Definition 2.5 [4] A neutrosophic soft topology (in short, NSt) on an underlying universe π•Ž is a collection of 𝜏 of NS subsets (𝑆, 𝜚) of π•Ž where 𝜚 be the parameters set, satisfying 1. 0(π•Ž ,𝜚) , 1(π•Ž ,𝜚) ∈ 𝜏. 2.

Then (π•Ž, 𝜏, 𝜚) is known as a neutrosophic soft topological space (shortly, NSts) and the elements of 𝜏 elements are known as neutrosophic soft open sets (shortly, NSOS) in π•Ž. A NSS (𝑆, 𝜚) is called the neutrosophic soft closed set (in short, NSCS) if its complement (𝑆, 𝜚)𝑐 is NSOS. Definition 2.6 [4] Let (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) act as a NSts on π•Ž & let (S, Ο±) is a NSS on π•Ž. The neutrosophic soft interior of (S, Ο±) (in brief, NSint(S, Ο±)) and the neutrosophic soft closure of (S, Ο±) (in brief, NScl(S, Ο±)) are represented as (i) NSint(𝑆, 𝜚) = ⋃{(𝐷, 𝜚) : (𝐷, 𝜚) βŠ† (𝑆, 𝜚) and (𝐷, 𝜚) is a NSOS in π•Ž}.

Then (S, Ο±) is called the NS (i) regular-open set (in short, NSROS) if (S, 𝜚) = NSint(NScl(S, 𝜚)). (ii) pre-open set (briefly, NSPOS) if (S, Ο±) βŠ† NSint(NScl(S, Ο±)).

Theorem 3.1 A map 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZCts iff the inverse image of every NSCS in 𝕋 is NSZOS in π•Ž. Proof. Consider a NSCS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. Then (𝑆, Ο±)c is NSOS in 𝕋. As 𝒒 is NSContraZCts, π’’βˆ’1 ((𝑆, Ο±)c) is NSZCS in π•Ž. As π’’βˆ’1((𝑆, Ο±)c) = (π’’βˆ’1 (𝑆, Ο±))𝑐, π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in π•Ž. Conversely, consider a NSCS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. So (𝑆, Ο±)c is a NSOS in 𝕋. By hypothesis, π’’βˆ’1((𝑆, Ο±)c) is NSZCS in π•Ž. As π’’βˆ’1 ((𝑆, Ο±)c) = (π’’βˆ’1 (𝑆, Ο±))𝑐 , (π’’βˆ’1 (𝑆, Ο±))𝑐 is a NSZCS in π•Ž.

(i) As NSZcl(𝒒(𝑆, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in 𝕋 and 𝒒 is NSContraZCts, then π’’βˆ’1(NSZcl(𝒒(𝑆, Ο±)) is NSZOS in π•Ž. Now, as (𝑆, Ο±) βŠ‡ π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝒒(𝑆, Ο±))). NSZcl(𝑆, Ο±) βŠ‡ π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝒒(𝑆, Ο±))). Therefore, 𝒒(NSZcl(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSint(𝒒(𝑆, Ο±)). (ii) By replacing (𝑆, Ο±) by (𝐷, Ο±) in (i), we obtain 𝒒(NSZcl(π’’βˆ’1(𝐷, Ο±))) βŠ‡ NSint(𝒒 (π’’βˆ’1(𝐷, Ο±))) βŠ‡ NSint(𝐷, Ο±). Hence NSZcl(π’’βˆ’1(𝐷, Ο±)) βŠ‡ π’’βˆ’1 (NSint(𝐷, Ο±)). 4. Neutrosophic soft contra Z – irresolute maps Definition 4.1 A map 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is known as a neutrosophic soft contra Z-irresolute (briefly, NSContraZ-irr) map if π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) for each NSZOS (𝑆, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Theorem 4.1 Let 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSContraZ-irr. Then 𝒒 is a NSContraZCts map. But not conversely. Proof. Assume 𝒒 is a NSContraZ-irr map. Consider a NSOS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. As each NSOS is a NSZOS, (𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. By hypothesis, π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in π•Ž. Hence 𝒒 is a NSContraZCts map.

Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be an identity mapping, then 𝒒 is a NSContraZCts but not NSContraZ-irr, because the set (V2, Ο±) is a NSZCS in 𝕋 but π’’βˆ’1(V2, Ο±) = (𝑆4, Ο±) is not NSZOS in π•Ž. Theorem 4.2 Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSContraZ-irr. If π•Ž is a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, then 𝒒 is a NSContraCts map. Proof. Consider a NSOS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. Then (𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. Hence π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in π•Ž. As π•Ž is a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSCS in π•Ž. Thus 𝒒 is a NSContraCts map. Theorem 4. 3 Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSContraZ-irr and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) be a NSZCts maps. Then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is a NSContraZCts map. Proof. Consider a NSOS (𝑆, Ο±) in π•Œ. Then β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. As 𝒒 is a NSContraZ-irr, π’’βˆ’1 (β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in π•Ž. Hence β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is a NSContraZCts map. Theorem 4.4 Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) be mappings. Then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is (i) NSContraZCts if 𝒒 is NSZirr and β„‹ is NSContraZCts. (ii) NSContraZ-irr if 𝒒 is NSContraZirr (resp.

Proof. (i) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in 𝕋. Then β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in π•Ž if 𝒒 is NSContraZCts. As (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, β„‹βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS in π•Ž. Hence 𝒒 is also NSContraCts map. The other cases are similar. Theorem 4.6 Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) be NSContraZCts mappings and (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space. Then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is a NSZCts map. Proof. Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Œ. Then β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. Since β„‹ is NSContraZCts. As (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS in 𝕋. Then, 𝒒(β„‹ βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in π•Ž because 𝒒 is NSContraZCts. Hence, β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is a NSZCts map. Theorem 4.7 Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a map from a NSts π•Ž into a NSts 𝕋. If π•Ž and 𝕋 are NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, then the following are equivalent. (i) 𝒒 is a NSContraZ-irr map. (ii) π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in π•Ž for every NSZCS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. (iii) NScl(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ‡ π’’βˆ’1 (NSint(𝑆, Ο±)) for each (𝑆, Ο±) of 𝕋. Proof. (i) β†’ (ii): Consider a NSZCS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. Then (𝑆, 𝜚)𝑐 is a NSZOS in 𝕋. As 𝒒 is NSContraZ- irr, π’’βˆ’1 ((𝑆, 𝜚)𝑐) is a NSZCS in π•Ž. We know that, π’’βˆ’1((𝑆, 𝜚)𝑐) = (π’’βˆ’1 (𝑆, 𝜚))𝑐. Thus π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in π•Ž. (ii) β†’ (iii) : Consider a NSS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋 and NSint(𝑆, Ο±) βŠ† (𝑆, Ο±). Then π’’βˆ’1(𝑁𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑑(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ† π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±). As NSint(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS in 𝕋, NSint(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. Therefore (𝑁𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑑(𝑆, 𝜚))𝑐 is a NSZCS in 𝕋. By presumption, π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝑆, 𝜚))𝑐 is a NSZOS in π•Ž. As π’’βˆ’1 ((𝑁𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑑(𝑆, 𝜚))𝑐) = (π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝑆, 𝜚)))𝑐, π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝑆, Ο±)) is a NSZOS in π•Ž. As π•Ž is a NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, π’’βˆ’1 (NSint(𝑆, Ο±)) is a NSOS in π•Ž. Thus, NScl(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NScl(π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝑆, Ο±))) = π’’βˆ’1 (NSint(𝑆, Ο±)). That is, NScl(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ‡ π’’βˆ’1(NSint(𝑆, Ο±)). (iii) β†’ (i): Consider a NSZCS (𝑆, Ο±) in 𝕋. As 𝕋 is NSZπ‘ˆ1 2 – space, (𝑆, Ο±) is a NSCS in 𝕋 and NScl(𝑆, Ο±) = (𝑆, Ο±). Hence π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) = π’’βˆ’1(NScl(𝑆, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSint(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)). But clearly π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) βŠ‡ NSint(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)). Therefore NSint(π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±)) = π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±). So, π’’βˆ’1(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS and hence it is a NSZOS in π•Ž. Thus 𝒒 is a NSContraZ-irr map. 5. Neutrosophic soft contra Z - open mapping Definition 5.1 A mapping 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is neutrosophic soft contra Z – open (in short, NSContraZO) if the image of each NSOS of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±).

Proof. (a) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraΞ΄O, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄CS in 𝕋. Since all NSΞ΄CS are NSCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is NSCS in 𝕋. Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraO. (b) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraO, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSCS in 𝕋. Since all NSCS are NSΞ΄SCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄SCS in 𝕋. Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraΞ΄SO. (c) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraO, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSCS in 𝕋. Since all NSCS are NSPCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSPCS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraPO. (d) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraΞ΄SO, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄SCS in 𝕋. Since all NSΞ΄SCS is a NSZCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraZO. (e) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraPO, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSPCS in 𝕋. Since all NSPCS are NSZCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraZO. (f) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSOS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraZO, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS in 𝕋. Since all NSZCS is a NSeCS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSeCS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraeO.

Let 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be an identity mapping, then 𝒒 is a NSContraeO but not NSContraZO, because the set 𝒒(𝑄1, Ο±) = (𝑃3, Ο±) is a NSeCS but not NS𝑍CS. Theorem 5.2 A mapping 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZO iff for every NSS (𝑆, Ο±) of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±), 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSZcl(𝒒(S, Ο±)). Proof. Necessity: Assume 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping and (𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Now, 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ† (𝑆, Ο±) implies 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ† 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±). Since 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping, 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±). Therefore, 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSZcl(𝒒(S, Ο±)). Sufficiency: Assume (𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) = 𝒒(NSint(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSZcl(𝒒(S, Ο±)). But NSZcl(𝒒(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±). So, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) = NSZcl(𝒒(S, Ο±)) which implies 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZCS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and hence 𝒒 is a NSContraZO. Theorem 5.3 If 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZO mapping, then NSint (𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1(NSZcl(S, Ο±)) for every NSS (𝑆, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Proof. Consider a NSS (𝑆, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Then, NSint (𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Since 𝒒 is NSContraZO, 𝒒(NSint (𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and hence 𝒒(NSint (𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±)) βŠ† NSZcl (𝒒 (𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)))βŠ† NSZcl(S, Ο±). Thus, NSint (𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1(NSZcl(S, Ο±)). Theorem 5.4 A mapping 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZO iff for every NSS (𝑆, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), and for each NSOS (𝐡, Ο±) of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) containing 𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±), there is a NSZOS (𝐾, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that (S, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±) and 𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Proof. Necessity: Assume 𝒒 be a NSContraZO mapping. Let a NSCS (𝑆, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and a NSOS (𝐡, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) such that 𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Then, (𝐾, Ο±) = (𝒒(B, Ο±)c)c is NSZOS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) βˆ‹ 𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Sufficiency: Assume (B, Ο±) is a NSOS (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). So, 𝒒 βˆ’1(𝒒(B, Ο±)c) βŠ† (B, Ο±)c and (B, Ο±)c is NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). By presumption, there is a NSZOS (𝐾, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that (𝒒(B, Ο±))c βŠ† (𝐾, Ο±) and 𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±)c. Therefore, (B, Ο±) βŠ† (𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±)) c . Hence (K, Ο±)c βŠ† 𝒒(B, Ο±) βŠ† 𝒒((𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±)) c ) βŠ† (K, Ο±)c which implies 𝒒(B, Ο±) = (K, Ο±)c. As (K, Ο±)c is NSZCS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Hence 𝒒(B, Ο±) is NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and thus 𝒒 is NSContraZO mapping. Theorem 5.5 A mapping 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZO iff 𝒒 βˆ’1(NScl(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ NSint(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)) for every NSS (S, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Proof. Necessity: Let 𝒒 be a NSContraZO mapping. For any NSS (S, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) βŠ† NScl(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)). Therefore, by Theorem 5.4 there exists a NSZOS (B, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) βˆ‹ (S, Ο±) βŠ‡ (B, Ο±) &𝒒 βˆ’1(B, Ο±) βŠ‡ 𝑁𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑑(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)). Hence 𝒒 βˆ’1(NSZcl(S, Ο±)) βŠ‡ 𝒒 βˆ’1(B, Ο±) βŠ‡ NSint(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)). Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis ISSN: 1074-133X Vol 32 No. 10s (2025) 2458 https://internationalpubls.com Sufficiency: Let (S, Ο±) be a NSS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and (B, Ο±) be a NSCS of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) containing 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±). Put (K, Ο±) = NScl(S, Ο±), then (S, Ο±) βŠ† (K, Ο±) and (K, Ο±) is NSZC and 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) βŠ† NSint(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Thus by Theorem 5.4, 𝒒 is NSZO mapping. Theorem 5.6 If 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) be two neutrosophic soft mappings and β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is NSContraZO. If β„‹: (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is NSContraZ-irr then 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSZO mapping. Proof. Let (S, Ο±) be a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒(S, Ο±) is NSZCS of (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) because β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSContraZO mapping. As β„‹ is NSContraZ-irr and β„‹ ∘ 𝒒(S, Ο±) is NSZCS of (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) therefore β„‹ βˆ’1(β„‹ ∘ 𝒒(S, Ο±)) = 𝒒(S, Ο±) is NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Hence 𝒒 is NSZO mapping. Theorem 5.7 If 𝒒 ∢ (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSO and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is NSContraZO mappings, then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±) is NSContraZO. Proof. Let (S, Ο±) be a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then 𝒒(S, Ο±) is a NSOS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) because 𝒒 is a NSO mapping. Since β„‹ is NSContraZO, β„‹(𝒒(S, Ο±)) = (β„‹ ∘ 𝒒)(S, Ο±) is NSZCS of (π•Œ, 𝜌, Ο±). Hence β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSContraZO mapping. 6. Neutrosophic soft contra Z - closed mapping Definition 6.1 A mapping 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is neutrosophic soft contra Z – closed (briefly, NSContraZC) if image of every NSCS of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Theorem 6.1 The statements are hold but the converse does not true. Every a) NSContraΞ΄C is a NSContraC. b) NSContraC is a NSContraΞ΄SC. c) NSContraC is a NSContraPC. d) NSContraΞ΄SC is a NSContraZC. e) NSContraPC is a NSContraZC. f) NSContraZC is a NSContraeC. Proof. Consider the map 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) (a) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraΞ΄C, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄OS in 𝕋. Since all NSΞ΄OS are NSOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is NSOS in 𝕋. Then, 𝒒 is a NSContraC. (b) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraC, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS in 𝕋. Since all NSOS are NSΞ΄SOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄SOS in 𝕋. Then, 𝒒 is a NSContraΞ΄S. (c) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraC, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSOS in 𝕋. Since all NSOS are NSPOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSPOS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraPC. (d) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraΞ΄SC, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSΞ΄SOS in 𝕋. Since all NSΞ΄SOS is a NSZOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraZC. (e) Let (𝑆, Ο±) be a NSCS in π•Ž. As 𝒒 is NSContraPC, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSPOS in 𝕋. Since all NSPOS are NSZOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSZOS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraZC.

Since all NSZOS is a NSeOS, 𝒒(𝑆, Ο±) is a NSeOS in 𝕋. Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraeC Example 6.1 In example 5.1, 𝒒 is a NSContraC but not NSContraΞ΄C mapping because the set (𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑆4, Ο±)𝑐 is NSOS but not NSΞ΄OS in 𝕋. Example 6.2 In example 5.2, 𝒒 is a NSContraPC but not NSContraC mapping because the set (𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑆4, Ο±)𝑐 is NSPOS but not NSOS in 𝕋. Example 6.3 In example 5.3, (i) 𝒒 is a NSContraΞ΄SC but not NSContraC mapping because the set (𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑆4, Ο±)𝑐 is NSΞ΄SOS but not NSOS in 𝕋. (ii) 𝒒 is a NSContraZC but not NSContraPC mapping because the set (𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑆4, Ο±)𝑐 is NSZOS but not NSPOS in 𝕋. Example 6.4 In example 5.4, 𝒒 is a NSContraZC but not NSContraΞ΄SC mapping because the set (𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑉1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑆4, Ο±)𝑐 is NSZOS but not NSΞ΄SOS in 𝕋. Example 6.5 In example 5.5, 𝒒 is a NSContraeC but not NSContraZC mapping because the set (𝑄1, Ο±)𝑐 is NSCS in π•Ž and 𝒒(𝑄1, Ο±)𝑐 = (𝑃3, Ο±)𝑐 is NSeOS but not NSZOS in 𝕋.

Diagram.3 Neutrosophic soft contra Z – closed maps Theorem 6.2 A mapping 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZC iff for each NSS (S, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and for each NSCS (B, Ο±) of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) containing 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) there is a NSZCS (K, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that (S, Ο±) βŠ† (K, Ο±) and 𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Proof. Necessity: Assume 𝒒 be a NSContraZC mapping. Let a NSOS (S, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and a NSCS (B, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) such that 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Then (K, Ο±) = 𝕋 – 𝒒 ((𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐)𝑐 is NSZCS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that 𝒒 βˆ’1(K, Ο±) βŠ† (B, Ο±). Suffciency: Assume (B, Ο±) is a NSCS of (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then, ((𝒒(𝐡, 𝜚))𝑐 is a NSS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and (𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐 is NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) such that 𝒒 βˆ’1((𝒒(𝐡, 𝜚))𝑐 βŠ† (𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐. By presumption, there is a NSZCS (K, Ο±) of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) such that (𝒒(𝐡, 𝜚))𝑐 βŠ† (K, Ο±) and 𝒒 βˆ’1 (K, Ο±) βŠ† (𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐. Therefore, NSContra𝛿C NNNNnsNS C𝛿OS NSContraC NS Type equation here.

Hence (𝐾, 𝜚) 𝑐 βŠ† 𝒒(𝐡, Ο±) βŠ† 𝒒 ((𝒒 βˆ’1(K, Ο±) )𝑐) which implies 𝒒(B, Ο±) = (𝐾, 𝜚) 𝑐. As (𝐾, 𝜚) 𝑐 is NSZOS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), 𝒒 (B, Ο±) is NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and hence 𝒒 is NSContraZC mapping. Theorem 6.3 If 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSC and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) is NSContraZC. Then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) is NSContraZC. Proof. Let (S, Ο±) be a NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). As 𝒒 is NSC mapping, 𝒒 (S, Ο±) is NSCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). As β„‹ is NSContraZC mapping (β„‹ ∘ 𝒒) (S, Ο±) = β„‹(𝒒 S, Ο±)) is NSZOS in (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±). Hence β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSContraZC mapping. Theorem 6.4 If 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSContraZCmap, then NSZint(𝒒 (S, Ο±) ) βŠ‡ 𝒒 (NSint(S, Ο±)). Proof. The proof is obvious from Defnition 6.1 and Defnition neutrosophic soft Z-interior. Theorem 6.5 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) be NSContraZC mappings. If every NSZOS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is NSOS, then β„‹ ∘ 𝒒: (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) is NSZC. Proof. Let (S, Ο±) be a NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). As, 𝒒 is NSContraZC mapping, 𝒒(S, Ο±) is NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). By presumption, 𝒒(S, Ο±) is NSOS of (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). As β„‹ is NSContraZC mapping, β„‹ (𝒒 (S, Ο±)) = (β„‹ ∘ 𝒒) (S, Ο±) is NSZCS in (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±). Hence β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSZC mapping. Theorem 6.6 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a bijective mapping. Then, the following statements are equivalent. (i) 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping. (ii) 𝒒 is a NSContraZC mapping. (iii) 𝒒 βˆ’1 is NSZCts mapping. Proof. (i) ⟹ (ii) : Assume 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping. If NSOS (S, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±), by presumption 𝒒(S, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). But now, (S, Ο±) is NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). So, 1(π•Ž,𝜚) βˆ’ (S, Ο±) is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). By assumption, 𝒒(1(𝕋,𝜚) βˆ’ (S, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Hence 1(π•Ž,𝜚) βˆ’ 𝒒(1(𝕋,𝜚)) βˆ’ (S, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraZC mapping. (ii) ⟹ (iii) : Consider a NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). By assumption, 𝒒(S, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Hence, 𝒒(S, Ο±) = (𝒒 βˆ’1) βˆ’1 (S, Ο±). So, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Thus, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is NSZCts. (iii) ⟹ (i) : Consider a NSOS (S, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). By assumption, (𝒒 βˆ’1) βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) = 𝒒 (S, Ο±) is a NSContraZO mapping. 7 Neutrosophic soft contra Z-homeomorphism Defnition7.1 A bijection 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is called a neutrosophic soft contra Z- homeomorphism (briefly, NSContraZHom) if 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZCts mappings.

Proof.: Assume 𝒒 is NSContraHom. Then 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraCts. We know that each NSContraCts function is NSContraZCts. So, 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZCts. Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraZHom.

Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be an identity mapping. Then 𝒒 is a NSContraZHom because (𝑆1, Ο±), (𝑆2, Ο±) and (𝑆3, Ο±) are NSOS in π•Ž and 𝒒 (𝑆1, Ο±), 𝒒(𝑆2, Ο±) and 𝒒(𝑆3, Ο±) are NSZCS in 𝕋 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 (𝑉1, Ο±) = (𝑆4, Ο±) is NSZCS in π•Ž.

Theorem7.2 Consider a bijective mapping 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). The following statements are equivalent if 𝒒 is NSContraZCts. (i) 𝒒 is a NSContraZC mapping. (ii) 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping. (iii) 𝒒 βˆ’1 is a NSContraZHom. Proof.: (i) ⟹ (ii): Let 𝒒 be a bijective mapping and a NSContraZC mapping. Therefore, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is a NSContraZCts mapping. As each NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), 𝒒 is a NSContraZO mapping. Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis ISSN: 1074-133X Vol 32 No. 10s (2025) 2462 https://internationalpubls.com (ii) ⟹ (iii): Assume 𝒒 is a bijective and NSConraO mapping. Also, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is a NSContraZCts mapping. Therefore, 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZCts. Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraZHom. (iii) ⟹ (i): Assume 𝒒 is a NSContraZHom. So, 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZCts. As every NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), 𝒒 is a NSContraZC mapping. Theorem 7.3 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSContraZHom. If (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) and (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) are NSZT1 2 - spaces, then 𝒒 is a NSContraHom. Proof. Consider a NSCS (S, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). So, 𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). As, (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) is a NSZT1 2 -space, 𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Therefore, 𝒒 is NSContraCts. By hypothesis, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is NSContraZCts. Let (B, Ο±) be a NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then 𝒒(B, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), by presumption. Since (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is a NSZT1 2 - space, 𝒒(B, Ο±) is a NSOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Therefore, 𝒒 βˆ’1 is NSContraCts. Thus 𝒒 is a NSContraHom. Theorem 7.4 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) be a NSCts. If (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) are NSZT1 2 - space, then the following are equivalent. 1. 𝒒 is NSContraZC mapping. 2. If (B, Ο±) is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±), then 𝒒 (B, Ο±) is NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). 3. 𝒒 (NSint(B, Ο±)) βŠ† NScl(NSint(𝒒 (B, Ο±))) for every NSS (B, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Proof. (i) ⟹ (ii) : Obvious. (ii) ⟹ (iii) Consider a NSS (B, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). We know that, NSint(B, Ο±) is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then, 𝒒(NSint((B, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Since (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is a NSZT1 2 -space 𝒒(NSint(B, Ο±)) is a NSCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Therefore, 𝒒(NSint(B, Ο±)) = NScl(𝒒(𝑁𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑑((B, Ο±))) βŠ† NScl(NSint(𝒒((B, Ο±))). NScl(NSint(G(B ))). (iii) ⟹ (i) Let (B, Ο±) be a NSCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then, (𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐 is a NSOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). As, 𝒒 (NSint((𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐) βŠ† NScl(NSint(𝒒(𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐)), we get 𝒒((𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐) βŠ† NScl(NSint(𝒒(𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐)). Therefore, 𝒒((𝐡, 𝜚) 𝑐) is NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Thus, 𝒒(B, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Hence, 𝒒 is a NSContraZC mapping. Theorem 7.5 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) be a NSContraZC, where (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) and (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) are two NSts’s and (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) a NSZT1 2 - space, then the composition β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSZC. Proof. Consider a NSCS(B, Ο±) in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). As 𝒒 is NSContraZC and 𝒒(B, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±), by assumption, 𝒒(B, Ο±) is a NSOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Since β„‹ is NSContraZC, then β„‹ (𝒒(B, Ο±)) is NSZCS in (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) and β„‹ (𝒒(B, Ο±)) = ( β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 ) (B, Ο±). Thus, β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSZC. Theorem 7.6 Let 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and β„‹ : (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) β†’ (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±) be two NSts’s, then the following hold. 1. If β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSContraZO and 𝒒 is NSCts, then β„‹ is NSContraZO. Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis ISSN: 1074-133X Vol 32 No. 10s (2025) 2463 https://internationalpubls.com 2. If β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 is NSO and β„‹ is NSContraZCts, then β„‹ is NSContraZO. Proof. The proof is obvious from Definition 5.1, Definitions of neutrosophic soft Z continuous function, Definition of neutrosophic soft Z open mapping and Definitions 3.1. 8 NeutrosophicsoftcontraZ-Chomeomorphism Definition 8.1 A bijection 𝒒 : (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±) β†’ (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) is called a neutrosophic soft contraZ- Chomeomorphism (briefly, NSContraZCHom) if 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZ-irr mappings. Theorem 8.1 Each NSContraZCHom is a NSContraZHom. But the converse not true. Proof.: Consider a NSOS(S, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Then, (S, Ο±) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). By presumption, 𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Therefore, 𝒒 is a NSContraZCts mapping. So 𝒒 and 𝒒 βˆ’1 are NSContraZCts mapping. Thus, 𝒒 is a NSContraZHom.

Proof.: Consider a NSS(S, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Since NScl(S, Ο±) is a NSCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±) and every NSCS is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). As 𝒒 is NSContraZ-irr, 𝒒 βˆ’1(NScl(S, Ο±)) is a NSZOS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then, NSint(𝒒 βˆ’1 (NScl(S, Ο±))) = 𝒒 βˆ’1 (NScl(S, Ο±)). Here, NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±)) βŠ† NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1 (NScl(S, Ο±))) = 𝒒 βˆ’1 (NScl(S, Ο±)). Therefore NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1 (NScl(S, Ο±)) for every NSS(S, Ο±) in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±).

Proof.: As 𝒒 is a NSContraZCHom, 𝒒 is a NSContraZ-irr mapping. Consider a NSS(S, Ο±). It is obvious that, NSZcl(S, Ο±) is a NSZCS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). As 𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1(NSZcl(S, Ο±)), we have NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1(S, Ο±)) βŠ† NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1 (NSZcl(S, Ο±)) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1 (NSZcl(S, Ο±)). Thus, NSZint(𝒒 βˆ’1 (S, Ο±)) βŠ† 𝒒 βˆ’1 (NSZcl(S, Ο±)).

Therefore,(β„‹ ∘ 𝒒 )βˆ’1 is a NSZ-irr mapping. Assume (B, Ο±) is NSZCS in (π•Ž, Ο„, Ο±). Then, by hypothesis, 𝒒 (β„‹) is a NSZOS in (𝕋, Οƒ, Ο±). Hence, β„‹(𝒒 (B, Ο±)) is a NSZCS in (π•Œ, ρ, Ο±).

Conclusion In this paper, we have introduced and explored contra Z-continuous, contra Z-irresolute, contra Z- open, and contra Z-closed maps in neutrosophic soft topological spaces. Additionally, we have investigated contra Z and Z-C homeomorphisms, with relevant theorems and examples, thereby contributing to the expansion of neutrosophic soft topology. These results pave the way for future research and potential applications in this emerging field.
