1. Introduction
The notion of a
K-algebra
was first introduced by Dar and Akram [
1] in 2003 and published in 2005. A
K-algebra is an algebra built on a group
by adjoining an induced binary operation ⊙ on
G, which is attached to an abstract
K-algebra
. This system is, in general, non-commutative and non-associative with a right identity
e, if
is non-commutative. For a given group
G, the
K-algebra is proper if
G is not an elementary abelian two-group. Thus, a
K-algebra is abelian, and being non-abelian purely depends on the base group G. In 2004, Dar and Akram [
2] further renamed a
K-algebra on a group
G as a
-algebra due to its structural basis
G. The
-algebras have been characterized by their left and right mappings in [
2] when the group is abelian. The
K-algebras have also been characterized by their left and right mappings in [
3] when the group is non-abelian. In 2007, Dar and Akram [
4] also studied
K-homomorphisms of
K-algebras.
Logic is an essential tool for giving applications in mathematics and computer science, and it is also a technique for laying a foundation. Non-classical logic takes advantage of the classical logic to handle information with various facts of uncertainty, including the fuzziness and randomness. In particular, non-classical logic has become a formal and useful tool for computer science to deal with fuzzy information and uncertain in formation. Among all kinds of uncertainties, the incomparability is the most important one that is frequently encountered in our daily lives. Fuzzy set theory, a generalization of classical set theory introduced by Zadeh [
5], has drawn the attention of many researchers who have extended the fuzzy sets to intuitionistic fuzzy sets [
6], interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets [
6], and so on, which are also applied to some decision-making process. On the other hand, Molodtsov [
7] initiated the concept of soft set theory as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties. In soft set theory, the problem of setting the membership function does not arise, which makes the theory easily applied to many different fields, including game theory, operations research, Riemann integration and Perron integration. In 1998, Smarandache [
8] proposed the idea of neutrosophic sets. He mingled tricomponent logic, non-standard analysis and philosophy. It is a branch of philosophy that studies the origin, nature and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. For convenient and advantageous usage of neutrosophic sets in science and engineering, Wang et al. [
9] proposed the single-valued neutrosophic sets, whose three independent components have values in the standard unit interval.
Garg and Nancy [
10,
11,
12] developed a hybrid aggregation operator by using the two instances of the neutrosophic sets, single-valued neutrosophic sets and interval-valued neutrosophic sets. They introduced the concept of some new linguistic prioritized aggregation operators to deal with uncertainty in linguistic terms. To aggregate single-valued neutrosophic information, they developed some new operators to resolve the multi-criteria decision-making problems such as the Muirhead mean, the single-valued neutrosophic prioritized Muirhead mean and the single-valued neutrosophic prioritized Muirhead dual. Maji in [
13] initiated the concept of neutrosophic soft sets. Certain notions of fuzzy
K-algebras have been studied in [
14,
15,
16,
17,
18]. Recently, Akram et al. [
19,
20] introduced single-valued neutrosophic
K-algebras and single-valued neutrosophic topological
K-algebras. In this paper, we introduce the notion of single-valued neutrosophic soft
K-algebras and investigate some of their properties. We establish the notion of
-single-valued neutrosophic soft
K-algebras and describe some of their related properties. We also illustrate the concepts with numerical examples. The remaining research article is arranged as follows.
Section 2 consists of some basic definitions related to
K-algebras and single-valued neutrosophic soft sets. In
Section 3, the notion of single-valued neutrosophic soft
K-algebras is proposed. To have a generalized viewpoint of single-valued neutrosophic soft
K-algebras,
Section 4 poses the concept of
-single-valued neutrosophic
K-algebras with some examples. Finally, some concluding remarks are given in
Section 5.
