1 Introduction
Levine, [6] initiated the study of generalized closed sets in topological spaces in 1970. In 1963, J.C. Kelly, [2] defined: a set equipped with two topologies is called a bitopological space, denoted by (X,
τ
1,τ
2) where (X,τ1)and(X,τ2) are two topological spaces. In 1986, T. Fukutake, [7] generalized this notion to bitopological spaces and he defined a set A of a bitopological space X to be an ij- generalized closed set (briefly ij-g-closed) if j-cl(A)⊆U whenever A⊆U and U isτ
i-openin X, i, j =1,2 and i≠ j. Semi generalized closed sets andgeneralized semi closed sets are extended to bitopological settings by F. H. Khedr and H. S. Al-saadi, [1]. K. Chandrasekhara Rao and K. Kannan, [4, 5] introduced the concepts of semi star generalized closed sets in bitopological spaces.
The aim of this communication is to introduce the concepts of
τ

2-generalized alpha star star closed sets,τ

2-generalized alpha star star open sets and study their basic properties in bitopological spaces.2 Preliminaries

**-closed sets.Now, the characterization of
τ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed sets by using different types of generalization of closed sets andτ
1-gα
*-open sets are established in the following theorem.Theorem 3.3: Let (X,
τ
1,τ
2) be a bitopological space andA⊆ X . Then the following are true.(i) If A is
τ
2-closed, then A isτ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed.(ii) If A is
τ
1-gα

1τ
2 -gα
**-closed, then A isτ
1τ
2 -g-closed.(iv) If A is
τ
1τ
2 -gα
**-closed, then A isτ
1τ
2 -α
g-closed.Proof:
(i) It is obvious that every
τ
2 -closed set isτ
1τ
2 -gα
**-closed.(ii) Suppose that A is
τ
1-gα
*-open andτ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed. Then A⊆ A implies thatτ
-cl(A)⊆ A. Obviously, A⊆τ
-cl(A). Therefore, A isτ
-closed.(iii) Suppose that A is
τ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed. Let A⊆Uand U isτ
1-open in X. Since everyτ
1-open set isτ
1-gα
*-open in X, we have U isτ
1-gα
*-open in X. Then,U A cl( )⊆

τ
since A isτ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed. Consequently, A isτ
1τ
2 -g-closed.(iv) Suppose that A is
τ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed. Let A⊆Uand U isτ
1-open in X. Since everyτ
1-open set isτ
1-gα
*-open in X, we have U isτ
1-gα
*-open in X.Then,
τ
2 -cl(A)⊆U since A isτ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed. Sinceτ
2 -α
cl(A)⊆τ
2-cl(A), we haveτ
2 -α
cl(A)⊆U. Consequently, A isτ
1τ
2 -α
g-closed.In the following examples it is proved that the converses of the assertions of the above theorem are not true in general.

1-gα
*-open in X. Since A⊆BandB⊆U , we have A⊆U . Henceτ
2-cl(A)⊆U (Since A isτ
1τ
2-gα
**-closed). Since B⊆τ
2 -cl(A), we haveτ
2-cl(B)⊆τ
2-cl(A)⊆U . Therefore, B isτ
