Abstract
This paper initiates the study of clustering of C2-nets. We gave results on the clus- ter sets of C2-nets in the Id(o)-topology and its applications to bicomplex numbers. Clustering on different types of zones in C2 have studied. Clustering in Id(o)- topology and idempotent product topology have been compared. Relation between clustering of C2-nets and the clustering of its component nets have been discussed. Finally, investigations have been made connecting clustering of a C2-net and con- finement of its C2-subnets.

1. Introduction The bicomplex numbers were introduced by Carrado Segre [8] in 1892. The set of bicomplex numbers is denoted by C2 and sets of real and complex numbers are denoted as C0 and C1, respectively.The set of bicomplex number is defined as (cf. [5], [9])
C2 := {a1 + i1a2 + i2a3 + i1i2a4,ak ∈ C0, 1 ≤ k ≤ 4} := {z1 + i2z2,z1,z2 ∈ C1} 2 = 2 =− = where i1 i2 1, i1i2 i2i1. Study of the bicomplex numbers had been started with the work of the Italian school of Segre [8], Spampinato [17, 18], and Dragoni [3]. Their interest arose from the fact that such numbers offer a commutative alternative to the skew field of quaternion and that in many ways they generalize complex numbers more closely and more accurately 2590 Sukhdev Singh and Rajesh Kumar Gupta than quaternion do. Segre used some of the Hamilton’s notation to develop his system of bicomplex numbers. The algebra constructed on the basis {1,i1,i2,i1i2} is then nearly the same as James Cockle’s tessarines [4]. Besides the additive and multiplicative identities 0 and 1, there exist exactly two non-trivial idempotent elements denoted by e1 and e2 and defined as e1 = (1 + i1i2)/2 and e2 = (1 − i1i2)/2. Note that e1 + e2 = 1 and e1.e2 = 0. A number ξ = z1 + i2z2 can be uniquely expressed as complex combination of e1 and e2 [10].
1 2 ξ = z1 + i2z2 = ξe1 + ξe2,
1 2 1 2 where ξ = z1 − i1z2 and ξ = z1 + i1z2. The complex coefficients ξ and ξ are called 1 2 the idempotent components of ξ, and ξe1 + ξe2 is known as idempotent representation of bicomplex number ξ. The auxiliary complex spaces A1 and A2 are defined as follows: 1 2 A1 = ξ : ξ ∈ C2 and A2 = ξ : ξ ∈ C2 .
The idempotent representation
1 2 (z1 − i1z2)e1 + (z1 + i1z2)e2 = ξe1 + ξe2
1 2 associates with each point ξ = z1+i2z2 in C2, the points ξ = z1−i1z2 and ξ = z1+i1z2 in A1 and A2, respectively and to each pair of points (z, w) ∈ A1 ×c A2, there is a unique bicomplex point ξ = ze1 + we2. Srivastava [10] initiated the systematic study of topological aspects of C2. He defined three topologies τ 1, τ 2 and τ 3 on C2. Srivastava and Singh [12] continued the study and defined three order topologies τ 4, τ 5, τ 6 and one product topology τ 7 and studied them. In the present paper, we shall confine ourselves mainly to C2 equipped with τ 6. For the sake of ready reference, we give below relevant literature of τ 6 (for details cf. [12]). Denote by ≺ID, the lexicographic ordering of the bicomplex numbers expressed in the idempotent form. The order topology induced by this ordering is called as Id(o)- topology. The Id(o)-topology, τ 6 is generated by the basis B6 comprising of members of the following families of subsets of C2: 1 1 1. L1 = (ξ, η)Id : ξ ≺ η 1 1 2 2 2. L2 = (ξ, η)Id : ξ = η, ξ ≺ η , the set (ξ, η)ID denoting the open interval with respect to the ordering ≺ID and ≺ : 1 denoting the lexicographic order in A1 and A2. A set of the type ξ a
