Abstract:
We first explain the historical and logical relations of hyperstructures
introduced by M. Krasner and R. Rota, and generalized by T.
Vougiouklis. Then, with our new algorithm based on our previous results
on hypergroups and Hv-groups of order 2, 3 and 4, we enumerate
hyperrings and Hv-rings.
More precisely, we found 63 hyperrings of
order 2, 875 Hv-rings of order 2
and 33,277,642 hyperrings of order
3. Finally, in this new context, we study a new connection between
groups and hypergroups via the notion of duality.
