Abstract

 

In this paper, some characterizations of minimal and maximal bi-ideals of ordered ternary semigroups were given. Moreover, the results of minimal and maximal bi-ideals of ordered ternary semigroups to ordered n-ary semigroups were generalized.

 

Key words: Bi-ideals, minimal bi-ideals, maximal bi-ideals, ordered ternary semigroups, ordered n-ary semigroups.
