A hybrid structure is a mapping defined by integrating a soft set and a fuzzy set. Therefore, the concept of hybrid structures is an abstraction of soft sets and fuzzy sets. As a result, we can apply soft (resp., fuzzy) ideals in ordered semigroups to the hybrid structure settings. In the present paper, we introduce the notion of hybridinterior ideals and hybrid -ideals in ordered semigroups. We characterize hybrid -interior ideals and hybrid -ideals in ordered semigroups by using the product of hybrid structures. Moreover, we provide a connection between -interior (resp., -) ideals and hybrid -interior (resp., -) ideals in ordered semigroups.
KEYWORDShybrid n-interior ideal; hybrid (m, n)-ideal; product; ordered semigroup (2; 2)he notion of ordered semigroups is a generalization of semigroups. It is an algebraic structure of type comprising a semigroup and a partially ordered set with the compatible property.Ordered semigroups were widely studied by many researchers [1−3] . An essential role in studying ordered semigroups is the notion of ideals, a set with some properties. There are various ideals in ordered semigroups defined to investigate some algebraic properties. For instance, Kehayopulu [4] illustrated that an ordered semigroup contains no proper bi-ideals if it is right and left simple, and vice versa. In 1999, Kehayopulu [5] showed that in some particular classes of ordered semigroups, intra-regular and regular, the notions of interior ideals and ideals coincide. The notion of -ideals [6] was defined as a generalization of bi-ideals in ordered semigroups by Sanborisoot and Changphas. A particular class of ordered semigroups was also characterized by -ideals. Tiprachot et al. [7] introduced the notion of -interior ideals as a generalization of interior ideals. The authors characterized many classes of ordered semigroups by combining -ideals and -interior ideals.Fuzzy set theory was introduced by Zadeh [8] in 1965. This notion is a generalization of crisp sets. Fuzzy sets can be applied to study in many branches: engineering, mathematics, and decision-making. Since fuzzy sets can deal with uncertain data, the concept is used to examine various real-world situations. For this reason, we can see that decision-making theory has been investigated using fuzzy sets in terms of
