In this paper, we initiate the study of prime bi-ideals (fuzzy bi-ideals) in semirings. We define strongly prime, prime, semiprime, irreducible and strongly irreducible bi-ideals in semirings. We also define strongly prime, semiprime, irreducible, strongly irreducible fuzzy bi-ideals of semirings. We characterize those semirings in which each bi-ideal (fuzzy bi-ideal) is prime (strongly prime).

BACKGROUND Body image (BI) is a multidimensional construct that includes perceptual, attitudinal, behavioural components, and feedback from other people's perception of oneself. The feedback from others and the degree to which one accepts or rejects it can determine self evaluation and perception. Body weight perception is a strong determinant of nutritional habits and weight management among a...

The intuitionistic fuzzification of the notion of a bi-ideal in ordered semigroups is considered. In terms of intuitionistic fuzzy set, conditions for an ordered semigroup to be completely regular is provided. Characterizations of intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals in ordered semigroups are given. Using a collection of bi-ideals with additional conditions, an intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is constr...

In this paper we introduce the concept of ideal elements in poe-AG-groupoid and give some characterizations and properties of their ideal elements. So we consider some results concerning ideals in poe-semigroups and investigate them in poe-AG-groupoids. Also, the class of ideal elements of poe-AG-groupoids are studied, certain intrinsic and basic properties of poe-AG-groupoids including: ideal,...

We characterize the fuzzy bi-ideal generated by a fuzzy subset in a semigroup and the fuzzy bi-ideal generated by a fuzzy subset A such that A ⊆ A2 in a semigroup with an identity element. Our work generalizes the characterization of fuzzy bi-ideals by Mo and Wang ([8]).

In this paper we introduce the concept of fuzzy generalized bi-ideal of a Γsemigroup, which is an extension of the concept of a fuzzy bi-ideal of a Γsemigroup and characterize regular Γ-semigroups in terms of fuzzy generalized bi-ideals.

in this paper, we introduce a considerable machinery which permits us to characterize a number of special (fuzzy) subsets in ag -groupoids. generalizing the concepts of (,q) -fuzzy bi-ideals (interior ideal), we define ( , ) k q -fuzzy bi-ideals, ( , ) k q -fuzzy left (right)-ideals and ( , ) k q -fuzzy interior ideals in ag -groupoids and discuss some fundamental aspects of these i...

Good and Hughes [9] introduced the notion of bi-ideal and Steinfeld [11, 12] introduced the notion of quasi-ideal. Sioson [10] studied some properties of quasi-ideals of ternary semigroups. In [1], Dixit and Dewan studied about the quasi-ideals and bi-ideals of ternary semigroups. Quasi-ideals are generalization of right ideals, lateral ideals, and left ideals whereas bi-ideals are generalizati...
