in this paper the class of n-ary hypergroups is introduced and several properties are found andexamples are presented. n-ary hypergroups are a generalization of hypergroups in the sense of marty. on theother hand, we can consider n-ary hypergroups as a good generalization of n-ary groups. we define thefundamental relation β* on an n-ary hypergroup h as the smallest equivalence relation such tha...

Maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of fuzzy soft sets to n-ary hypergroup theory. The concepts of (∈(γ), ∈(γ) ∨ q(δ))-fuzzy soft (invertible) n-ary subhypergroups over a commutative n-ary hypergroup are intro...

In this paper, we have generalized the definition of vector space by considering the group as a canonical $m$-ary hypergroup, the field as a krasner $(m,n)$-hyperfield and considering the multiplication structure of a vector by a scalar as hyperstructure. Also we will be consider a normed $m$-ary hypervector space and introduce the concept of convergence of sequence on $m$-ary hypernormed space...

This paper deals with hypergroupoids obtained from n-ary relations. We give conditions for an n-ary relation such that the hypergroupoid associated with it is a hypergroup. First we analyze this construction using a ternary relation and then we generalize it for an n-ary relation.

The main tools in the theory of n-ary hyperstructures are the fundamental relations. The fundamental relation on an n-ary hypersemigroup is defined as the smallest equivalence relation so that the quotient would be the n-ary semigroup. In this paper we study neutral elements in n-ary hypersemigroups and introduce a new strongly compatible equivalence relation on an n-ary hypersemigroup so that ...

In this paper, the new notions of ``belongingness ($in_{gamma}$)"and ``quasi-coincidence ($q_delta$)"  of a fuzzy point with a fuzzyset are  introduced. By means of this new idea, the  concept of$(alpha,beta)$-fuzzy $n$-ary subhypergroup of an $n$-aryhypergroup is given, where $alpha,betain{in_{gamma}, q_{delta},in_{gamma}wedge q_{delta}, ivq}$,  andit is shown that, in 16 kinds of $(alpha,beta...

The class of  $n$-ary polygroups is a certain subclass of $n$-ary hypergroups, a generalization of D{"o}rnte $n$-arygroups and  a generalization of polygroups. The$beta^*$-relation and the $gamma^*$-relation are the smallestequivalence relations on an $n$-ary polygroup $P$ such that$P/beta^*$ and $P/gamma^*$ are an $n$-ary group and acommutative $n$-ary group, respectively. We use the $beta^*$-...

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...
