On the \(n^*\)-complete hypergroups (Q1808787)

The authors introduce the class of \(n^*\)-complete hypergroups which is a generalization of the well known class of \(n\)-complete hypergroups. The difference is that in \(n^*\)-complete hypergroups the fundamental relation \(\beta^*\) is used instead of the \(\beta\) relation. A hypergroup is a group iff it is \(1^*\)-complete. The paper focuses on the \(2^*\)-complete hypergroups where several results are obtained. The paper concludes with a connection with hypergroups and associated hypergraphs.
