An n-ary operation Q : Σ → Σ is called an n-ary quasigroup of order |Σ| if in the equation x0 = Q(x1, . . . , xn) knowledge of any n elements of x0, . . . , xn uniquely specifies the remaining one. An n-ary quasigroup Q is (permutably) reducible if Q(x1, . . . , xn) = P ( R(xσ(1), . . . , xσ(k)), xσ(k+1), . . . , xσ(n) ) where P and R are (n−k+1)-ary and k-ary quasigroups, σ is a permutation, a...

This paper is concerned with actions of finite hypergroups on sets. After introducing the definitions in the first section, we use the notion of ‘maximal actions’ to characterise those hypergroups which arise from association schemes, introduce the natural sub-class of *-actions of a hypergroup and introduce a geometric condition for the existence of *-actions of a Hermitian hypergroup. Followi...

In this paper we investigate the structure and representation of n-ary algebras arising from DNA recombination, where n is a number of DNA segments participating in recombination. Our methods involve a generalization of the Jordan formalization of observables in quantum mechanics in n-ary splicing algebras. We show that the splicing algebras are an n-ary envelope for algebras of DNA recombinati...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of fuzzy congruences on n-ary semigroups and describe quotient n-ary semigroups by fuzzy congruences. Some isomorphism theorems about n-ary semigroups are established. Moreover, we discuss a special kind of n-ary semigroups. We also establish relationships between normal fuzzy ideals and fuzzy congruences. In particular, we prove that there exists a prese...

n-ary transit functions are introduced as a generalization of binary (2-ary) transit functions. We show that they can be associated with convexities in natural way and discuss the Steiner convexity as a natural n-ary generalization of geodesicaly convexity. Furthermore, we generalize the betweenness axioms to n-ary transit functions and discuss the connectivity conditions for underlying hypergr...

Fuzzy n-ary hypergroups were introduced as suitable generalizations of fuzzy polygroups and a special case of fuzzy n-ary hyper groups. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of fuzzy n-ary factor polygroups of a polygroup. Based on the fuzzy n-ary factor group, we also study the product structures of the generating fuzzy factor n-ary groups. At the end of the paper, we prove the fund...

We characterize the set of all n-ary quasigroups of order 4: every n-ary quasigroup of order 4 is permutably reducible or semilinear. Permutable reducibility means that an n-ary quasigroup can be represented as a composition of k-ary and (n− k +1)-ary quasigroups for some k from 2 to n−1, where the order of arguments in the representation can differ from the original order. The set of semilinea...

The n-ary first and second recursion theorems formalize two distinct, yet similar, notions of self-reference. Roughly, the n-ary first recursion theorem says that, for any n algorithmic tasks (of an appropriate type), there exist n partial computable functions that use their own graphs in the manner prescribed by those tasks; the n-ary second recursion theorem says that, for any n algorithmic t...

Let G be a locally compact hypergroup and let K sub-hypergroup of G. (G, K) is Gelfand pair if Mc(G//K), the algebra measures with support on double coset G//K, commutative for convolution. In this paper, assuming that pair, we define study Fourier transform then establish Plancherel theorem K).
