A generalization of identities in groupoids by functions

Abstract

<abstract><p>In this paper, we introduce the notions of a left and a right idenfunction in a groupoid by using suitable functions, and we apply this concept to several algebraic structures. Especially, we discuss its role in linear groupoids over a field. We show that, given an invertible function $ \varphi $, there exists a groupoid such that $ \varphi $ is a right idenfunction. The notion of a right pseudo semigroup will be discussed in linear groupoids. The notion of an inversal is a generalization of an inverse element, and it will be discussed with idenfunctions in linear groupoids over a field.</p></abstract>
