Weakly prime ternary subsemimodules of ternary semimodules

In this paper we introduce the concept of weakly prime ternary subsemimodules of a ternary semimodule over a ternary semiring and obtain some characterizations of weakly prime ternary subsemimodules. We prove that if $N$ is a weakly prime subtractive ternary subsemimodule of a ternary $R$-semimodule $M$, then either $N$ is a prime ternary subsemimodule or $(N : M)(N : M)N = 0$. If $N$ is a $Q$-ternary subsemimodule of  a ternary $R$-semimodule $M$, then a relation between weakly prime ternary subsemimodules of $M$ containing $N$ and weakly prime ternary subsemimodules of the quotient ternary $R$-semimodule $M/N_{(Q)}$ is obtained.
