The book presents an updated study of hypergroups, being structured on 12 chapters in starting with the presentation of the basic notions in the domain: semihypergroups, hypergroups, classes of subhypergroups, types of homomorphisms, but also key notions: canonical hypergroups, join spaces and complete hypergroups. A detailed study is dedicated to the connections between hypergroups and binary relations, starting from connections established by Rosenberg and Corsini. Various types of binary relations are highlighted, in particular equivalence relations and the corresponding quotient structures, which enjoy certain properties: commutativity, cyclicity, solvability.A special attention is paid to the fundamental beta relationship, which leads to a group quotient structure. In the finite case, the number of non-isomorphic Rosenberg hypergroups of small orders is mentioned. Also, the study of hypergroups associated with relations is extended to the case of hypergroups associated to n-ary relations. Then follows an applied excursion of hypergroups in important chapters in mathematics: lattices, Pawlak approximation, hypergraphs, topology, with various properties, characterizations, varied and interesting examples. The bibliography presented is an updated one in the field, followed by an index of the notions presented in the book, useful in its study.

Hyperstructures represent a natural extension of classical algebraic structures. They were introduced in 1934 by the French mathematician Marty. Since then, hundreds of papers published on this subject. This book is devoted to the study of weak hyperstructures with natural examples. It begins with some basic results, which represent the most general algebraic context, in which reality can be modelled. There are also applications in natural science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics).The authors of the book are experts and well known on this theory. Most results on weak hyperstructures are collected in this book. The overall strength of the book is in its presentation and introduction to some of the results, methods and ideas about weak hyperstructures.
