Groupoid Factorizations in the Semigroup of Binary Systems

Abstract

Let $(X,\bullet )$ be a groupoid (binary algebra) and $Bin(X\dot{)}$ denote the collection of all groupoids defined on $X$. We introduce two methods of factorization for this binary system under the binary groupoid product \textquotedblleft $\diamond$\textquotedblright\ in the semigroup $\left(Bin\left(X\right),\diamond \right)$. We conclude that a strong non-idempotent groupoid can be represented as a product of its \textit{% similar-} and \textit{signature-} derived factors. Moreover, we show that a groupoid with the orientation property is a product of its \textit{orient-} and \textit{skew-} factors. These unique factorizations can be useful for various applications in other areas of study. Application to algebras such as $B/BCH/BCI/BCK/BH/BI/d$-algebra are widely given throughout this paper.
