Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Algebra is well-known research subject for almost all mathematicians. It is important to develop computer science and cryptography. In this Special Issue, we hope to communicate new research topics and their applications. In mathematics, BCI/BCK-algebra is an algebraic structure that was introduced by Y. Imai, K. Iséki, and S. Tanaka in 1966 to generalize the set difference in set theory to describe fragments of the propositional calculus involving implications known as BCI and BCK logic. It is known that the class of BCK algebra is a proper subclass of the class of BCI algebra. We refer the reader to useful textbooks on BCI/BCK algebra (see Huang, Y.S. BCI-Algebra. Science Press: Beijing, China, 2006; Iorgulescu, A. Algebras of Logic as BCK Algebras. Editura ASE: Bucharest, Romania, 2008 and Meng J.; Jun, Y.B. BCK-Algebras. Kyung Moon Sa Co.: Seoul, Korea, 1994).

The aim of this Special Issue is to promote the exchange of ideas between researchers and to spread new trends in this area. It is focused on all aspects of algebra and BCK algebra and related algebraic systems from their foundations to applications in computer sciences, informatics, and decision-making problems, etc. BCK algebra and related algebraic systems contain MV algebra, BL algebra, R0 algebra, MTL algebra, EQ algebra, lattice implication algebra, equality algebra, hoop algebra, etc.

This Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics 2020”.

In this paper we shall give another proof of a special case of Gao’s theorem for generating integrally indecomposable polygons in the sense of Minkowski. The approach of proving this theorem will enable us to give an effective algorithm for construction integrally indecomposable convex integral polygons with arbitrary many vertices. In such a way, classes of absolute irreducible bivariate polynomials corresponding to those indecomposable Newton polygons are generated. Full article

Algebraic Perspective of Cubic Multi-Polar Structures on BCK/BCI-Algebras

Cubic multipolar structure with finite degree (briefly, cubic k-polar (CkP) structure) is a new hybrid extension of both k-polar fuzzy (kPF) structure and cubic structure in which CkP structure consists of two parts; the first one is an interval-valued k-polar fuzzy (IVkPF) structure acting as a membership grade extended from the interval P[0,1] to P[0,1]k (i.e., from interval-valued of real numbers to the k-tuple interval-valued of real numbers), and the second one is a kPF structure acting as a nonmembership grade extended from the interval [0,1] to [0,1]k (i.e., from real numbers to the k-tuple of real numbers). This approach is based on generalized cubic algebraic structures using polarity concepts and therefore the novelty of a CkP algebraic structure lies in its large range comparative to both kPF algebraic structure and cubic algebraic structure. The aim of this manuscript is to apply the theory of CkP structure on BCK/BCI-algebras. We originate the concepts of CkP subalgebras and (closed) CkP ideals. Moreover, some illustrative examples and dominant properties of these concepts are studied in detail. Characterizations of a CkP subalgebra/ideal are given, and the correspondence between CkP subalgebras and (closed) CkP ideals are discussed. In this regard, we provide a condition for a CkP subalgebra to be a CkP ideal in a BCK-algebra. In a BCI-algebra, we provide conditions for a CkP subalgebra to be a CkP ideal, and conditions for a CkP subalgebra to be a closed CkP ideal. We prove that, in weakly BCK-algebra, every CkP ideal is a closed CkP ideal. Finally, we establish the CkP extension property for a CkP ideal. Full article

In this paper, we introduce transposition regularity into AG-groupoids, and a variety of transposition regular AG-groupoids (L1/R1/LR, L2/R2/L3/R3-groupoids) are obtained. Their properties and structures are discussed by their decomposition theorems: (1) L1/R1-transposition regular AG-groupoids are equivalent to each other, and they can be decomposed into the union of disjoint Abelian subgroups; (2) L1/R1-transposition regular AG-groupoids are LR-transposition regular AG-groupoids, and an example is given to illustrate that not every LR-transposition regular AG-groupoid is an L1/R1-transposition regular AG-groupoid; (3) an AG-groupoid is an L1/R1-transposition regular AG-groupoid if it is an LR-transposition regular AG-groupoid satisfying a certain condition; (4) strong L2/R3-transposition regular AG-groupoids are equivalent to each other, and they are union of disjoint Abelian subgroups; (5) strong L3/R2-transposition regular AG-groupoids are equivalent to each other and they can be decomposed into union of disjoint AG subgroups. Their relations are discussed. Finally, we introduce various transposition regular AG-groupoid semigroups and discuss the relationships among them and the commutative Clifford semigroup as well as the Abelian group. Full article

The present paper is devoted to studying the maps corresponding to the suborbital graphs for the normalizer ΓB(N) of Γ0(N) modulo N, where N denotes a positive integer. We reveal the complete structure of these maps, finding their vertices, edges, darts, and faces explicitly. The maps we investigated in the present paper were all regular maps of large genus except for some low values of N. Full article

Regular semigroups and their structures are the most wonderful part of semigroup theory, and the contents are very rich. In order to explore more regular semigroups, this paper extends the relevant classical conclusions from a new perspective: by transforming the positions of the elements in the regularity conditions, some new regularity conditions (collectively referred to as transposition regularity) are obtained, and the concepts of various transposition regular semigroups are introduced (L1/L2/L3, R1/R2/R3-transposition regular semigroups, etc.). Their relations with completely regular semigroups and left (right) regular semigroups, proposed by Clifford and Preston, are analyzed. Their properties and structures are studied from the aspects of idempotents, local identity elements, local inverse elements, subsemigroups and so on. Their decomposition theorems are proved respectively, and some new necessary and sufficient conditions for semigroups to become completely regular semigroups are obtained. Full article

A graph Γ is called G-basic if G is quasiprimitive or bi-quasiprimitive on the vertex set of Γ, where GAut(Γ). It is known that locally primitive vertex-transitive graphs are normal covers of basic ones. In this paper, a complete classification of the basic locally primitive vertex-transitive graph of order 2p2 is given, where p is an odd prime. Full article

This paper introduces a new concept called cyclic associative semihypergroup (CA-semihypergroup). The relationships among CA-semihypergroups, Semihypergroups and LA-semihypergroups are studied through some interesting examples. The relationships among various NET-CA-semihypergroups are also studied. The main properties of strong pure neutrosophic extended triplet CA-semihypergroups (SP-NET-CA-semihypergroups) are obtained. In particular, the algorithm of a generated CA-semihypergroup of order tm+n by two known CA-semihypergroups of order m and n is proven, and a CA-semihypergroup of order 19 is obtained by using a Python program. Moreover, it is proven that five different definitions, which can all be used as the definition of SP-NET-CA-Semihypergroup, are equivalent. Full article

A mixed hypergraph H is a triple (X,C,D), where X is a finite set and each of C and D is a family of subsets of X. For any positive integer λ, a proper λ-coloring of H is an assignment of λ colors to vertices in H such that each member in C contains at least two vertices assigned the same color and each member in D contains at least two vertices assigned different colors. The chromatic polynomial of H is the graph-function counting the number of distinct proper λ-colorings of H whenever λ is a positive integer. In this article, we show that chromatic polynomials of mixed hypergraphs under certain conditions are zero-free in the intervals (,0) and (0,1), which extends known results on zero-free intervals of chromatic polynomials of graphs and hypergraphs.

A Cayley graph Γ=Cay(G,S) is said to be normal if the base group G is normal in AutΓ. The concept of the normality of Cayley graphs was first proposed by M.Y. Xu in 1998 and it plays a vital role in determining the full automorphism groups of Cayley graphs. In this paper, we construct an example of a 2-arc transitive hexavalent nonnormal Cayley graph on the alternating group A119. Furthermore, we determine the full automorphism group of this graph and show that it is isomorphic to A120. Full article
