Degree Hypergroupoids Associated With Hypergraphs


Mehdi Farshi, Bijan Davvaz, Saeed Mirvakili




In this paper, we present some connections between graph theory and hyperstructure theory. In this regard, we construct a hypergroupoid by defining a hyperoperation on the set of degrees of vertices of a hypergraph and we call it a degree hypergroupoid. We will see that the constructed hypergroupoid is always an $H_v$-group. We will investigate some conditions on a degree hypergroupoid to have a hypergroup. Further, we study the degree hypergroupoid associated with Cartesian product of hypergraphs. Finally, the fundamental relation and complete parts of a degree hypergroupoid are studied.
