However, with ongoing technological advancements and the increasing complexity of practical requirements, the focus has gradually shifted toward neutrosophic topology, a broader and more inclusive framework than fuzzy topology. While neutrosophic topology is primarily rooted in neutrosophic open sets, other related families, including neutrosophic pre-open sets, neutrosophic semi-open sets, and neutrosophic beta-open sets, have also proven instrumental in driving progress in this field. This study introduces neutrosophic \u03b4-open sets as a significant enhancement to the current theoretical framework. In addition, we propose a novel category of separation axioms, termed neutrosophic \u03b4-separation axioms, which are derived from the concept of neutrosophic \u03b4-open sets. Moreover, we explore the interplay between these separation properties and their characteristics within subspaces. Our findings confirm that neutrosophic \u03b4-separation axioms are reliably upheld in neutrosophic regular open subspaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17020271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]],"date-time":"2025-02-10T09:29:26Z","timestamp":1739179766000},"page":"271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Neutrosophization of \u03b4-Separation Axioms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1468-8240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahu","family":"A\u00e7ikg\u00f6z","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Balikesir University, Balikesir 10145, Turkey"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5581-3621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ferhat","family":"Esenbel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Balikesir University, Balikesir 10145, Turkey"}]},{"given":"Abdulhamit","family":"Maman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Balikesir University, Balikesir 10145, Turkey"}]},{"given":"Seher","family":"Zorlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Balikesir University, Balikesir 10145, Turkey"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1007\/s40314-022-01919-x","article-title":"Soft somewhat open sets: Soft separation axioms and medical application to nutrition","volume":"41","year":"2022","journal-title":"Comp.
