PurposeRecently, F. Smarandache generalized the Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets and other kinds of sets to neutrosophic sets (NSs). Also, this author introduced a general definition of neutrosophic topology. On the other hand, there exist various kinds of paraconsistent logics, where some contradiction is admissible. The purpose of this paper is to show that a Smarandache's definition of neutrosophic paraconsistent topology is not a generalization of Çoker's intuitionistic fuzzy topology (IFT) or Smarandache's general neutrosophic topology.Design/methodology/approachThe possible relations between the IFT and the neutrosophic paraconsistent topology are studied.FindingsRelations on IFT and neutrosophic paraconsistent topology are shown.Research limitations/implicationsClearly, the paper is confined to IFSs and NSs.Practical implicationsThe main applications are in the mathematical field.Originality/valueThe paper shows original results on fuzzy sets and topology.
