1. Introduction
The exploration of symmetry is a foundational and captivating topic that unites various disciplines in contemporary mathematics. Algebraic structures provide valuable tools in pure mathematics for understanding the symmetries of geometric objects. For instance, in ring theory, homomorphisms are essential functions that preserve the ring operation. These functions are crucial for studying the symmetries within the context of ring theory. Additionally, the theory of groups, another significant algebraic structure, offers a comprehensive framework for exploring symmetry. Using group theory, various types of symmetries can be examined and analysed. As a result, group theory has become widely employed as an algebraic tool for understanding and characterizing symmetries in diverse contexts. Semirings play an important role in computer science as well as in mathematics. It is advantageous to characterise a ring’s properties using modules over the ring. Consequently, semimodules over semirings are common as a generalisation of modules over rings (see [
1,
2,
3,
4]).
In 1965, Zadeh [
5] pioneered the notion of fuzzy sets and their characteristics; since then, a wide range of fields involving uncertainty have made extensive use of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, including robotics, machine learning, computer engineering, control theory, business administration, and operational science. However, it has been noted that some situations are still not covered by fuzzy sets, so the idea of interval-valued fuzzy sets was developed in order to capture those situations. While fuzzy set theory is incredibly effective at managing uncertainties resulting from an element’s vagueness within a set, it is unable to capture all types of uncertainties found in various real-world physical problems, such as those involving incomplete information.
In [
6], Altassan et al. defined the concept of a
-fuzzy set,
-fuzzy subring, and
-fuzzy ideal, where they also looked into various fundamental outcomes of this phenomenon. Furthermore, they developed a quotient ring with respect to this specific fuzzy ideal analogue to the classical quotient ring and proposed the idea of a
-fuzzy coset. They also established a
-fuzzy homomorphism between a
-fuzzy subring of the quotient ring and a
-fuzzy subring of this ring, and they proved some additional basic theorems of
-fuzzy homomorphism for these particular fuzzy subrings. Additionally, they described
-fuzzy homomorphism and
-fuzzy isomorphism. Numerous authors have investigated fuzzy logic in a number of different structures (see [
7,
8,
9]).
In [
10], Atanassov created intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS), a further generalisation of the fuzzy set. Each element in IFS has a non-membership grade attached to it in addition to a membership grade. Additionally, the total of these two grades cannot be greater than or equal to unity. When there is insufficient data available to define imprecision using traditional fuzzy sets, the idea of IFS can be seen as a suitable or alternative approach.
To address the ubiquitous uncertainty, Smarandache [
11] proposed neutrosophic sets. In addition to fuzzy sets, they also generalise intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The three characteristics of neutrosophic sets are truth
membership functions, falsity
, and indeterminacy
. These sets can be used to address the complexities brought about by ambiguous information in a wide range of applications. A neutrosophic set can distinguish between absolute and relative membership functions. Smarandache used these sets for non-traditional analyses such as control theory, decision-making theory, sports decisions (winning/defeating/tie), etc.
In [
12], Khan et al. investigated several characteristics of the
-neutrosophic
-subsemigroup as well as the neutrosophic
-subsemigroup in a semigroup. In [
13], B. Elavarasan et al. investigated various properties of neutrosophic
-ideals in semigroups. In [
14], Muhiuddin et al. defined neutrosophic
-ideals and neutrosophic
-interior ideals in ordered semigroups and studied their properties. They also used neutrosophic
-ideals and neutrosophic
-interior ideals to describe ordered semigroups.
In [
15], Karaaslan obtained some information pertaining to the determinant and adjoint of the interval-valued neutrosophic matrices by defining the determinant and adjoint of interval-valued neutrosophic (IVN) matrices based on the permanent function. In [
16], Jun et al. introduced the notion of neutrosophic quadruple BCK/BCI-numbers and studied neutrosophic quadruple BCK/BCI-algebras. In [
17], Muhiuddin et al. continued this work by coming up with the idea of implicative neutrosophic quadruple BCK-algebras and looking into some of their properties. In [
18], Nagarajan et al. described a way to find the correlation coefficient of neutrosophic sets, which tells us how strong the connections are between variables based on neutrosophic sets. They also talked about the multiple regression method in the context of neutrosophic sets.
In this paper, we investigate neutrosophic structures in semiring modules, the concept of neutrosophic -subsemimodules, and neutrosophic -ideals over semirings, and establish their various properties. In addition, we investigate the concept of neutrosophic right -pure ideals in semirings and the relations between neutrosophic -pure ideals and neutrosophic -submodules in semirings. Moreover, we obtain equivalent statements for a semiring that is fully idempotent.
2. Preliminary Definitions of Semirings
In this section, we summarize the preliminary definitions of semirings that are required later in this paper.

Obviously, a ring is a semiring, where each element has an additive inverse. A module over a ring is a vector space over a field generalisation where the corresponding scalars are components of a ring that were selected at random (with identity) and the elements of the modules and rings are multiplied (on the right and/or on the left).

A left -semimodule can be defined in a similar manner. It is obvious that each semiring is a right (left) semimodule over itself.
Hereafter, a semiring can be represented by , denotes a right -semimodule over , and the power set of a set can be expressed as .
Definition 3 ([
1])
. Let be a right -semimodule and . Then is termed as a subsemimodule of if and and . Naturally, has evolved into its own -module, with the same addition and scalar multiplication as . Clearly, a ring is a semiring, so a left module over a ring is a left semimodule over .
Definition 4. Let If of is a subsemimodule, then is termed as a right (left) ideal of
If of is both a right and a left ideal, then it is described as an ideal of .

If each element of satisfies , then is described as an idempotent semiring.
