Abstract

An interval set (or an interval-valued set), is a special set, which is an effective tool for illustrating and describing obscure information systems and partially known problems. Recently, Kim et al.\cite{r5} defined the topological structure for interval-value sets and studied many properties of them. In this work, we discuss some characteristics and relations of continuity in interval-valued topological spaces with some necessary illustrative examples. Then we provide a categorical framework for interval-valued topological spaces $\mathcal{IV}$-$\mathcal{TOP}$. Many functors and subcategories of $\mathcal{IV}$-$\mathcal{TOP}$ are defined and studied. Furthermore, the relationships between the $\mathcal{IV}$-$\mathcal{TOP}$ and its subcategories are investigated. We show that the category $\mathcal{TOP}$ is isomorphic to the category $\mathcal{IV}$-${\mathcal{TOP}_{1}}.$ Moreover, we demonstrate that $\mathcal{TOP}$ and $\mathcal{IV}$-$\mathcal{TOP}_{1}$ are bireflective full subcategories of $\mathcal{IV}$-$\mathcal{TOP}$.
