Abstract
The concept of almost interior -hyperideals (-hyperideals) in ordered -semihypergroups is a generalization of the concept of interior -hyperideals (-hyperideals). In this study, the connections between -hyperideals and -hyperideals in ordered -semihypergroups were presented. Also, we define the notion of --hyperfilters of ordered -semihypergroups and provide useful results on it. Moreover, we use the weak pseudoorders to construct quotient ordered -semihypergroups by using ordered regular equivalence relations. These concepts lead us to a new research direction in ordered -semihypergroups.
1. Introduction
The concept of hyperstructure was first introduced in 1934 by Marty [1] at the 8th Congress of Scandinavian Mathematicians. Moreover, the hyperrings were introduced after the hyperfields, by Krasner [2], for solving some problems in valuation of fields. From the early attempts [1, 2] to recent studies, hyperstructure theory has been used in diverse branches of mathematics [3, 4], physics [5, 6], chemistry [7], biology [8, 9], etc. In [5], Davvaz et al. showed that the leptons and gauge bosons along with the interactions between their members construct a weak algebraic hyperstructure (-structure). Some applications of hyperstructure theory in mathematics, cryptography, codes, and other fields can be found in [10]. In [3], Jun studied algebraic and geometric aspects of Krasner hyperrings in detail. In 2018, Omidi and Davvaz [11] introduced and studied the notion of ordered regular equivalence relations in ordered semihyperrings.
Semihypergroups are as important in algebraic hyperstructures as the semigroups in algebraic structures. Recently, Daengsaen et al. [12] studied minimal and maximal hyperideals of n-ary semihypergroups. Ordered semihypergroups were introduced by Heidari and Davvaz [13] as a generalization of the ordered semigroups. In 2015, Davvaz et al. [14] presented a connection between ordered semihypergroups and ordered semigroups by using pseudoorder. In 2016, Gu and Tang [15] studied an open problem for ordered semihypergroups and established a partial solution. Next, Tang et al. [16] studied the further properties of ordered regular equivalence relations in ordered semihypergroups. Moreover, the authors gave a complete answer of the open problem given by Davvaz et al. in [14].
As a generalization of a semihypergroup, Anvariyeh et al. [17], in 2010, introduced the notion of -semihypergroups and discussed the -hyperideals of -semihypergroups. In [18], the concept of (fuzzy) -hyperideals of involution -semihypergroups was investigated. Recently, fuzzy set theory has been well developed in the framework of ordered -semihypergroup theory [19]. In 2020, Rao et al. [20] introduced and studied the concept of relative bi-(int-)-hyperideals in ordered -semihypergroups. The beauty of relative bi-(int-)-hyperideals is that instead of involving all the elements of the ordered -semihypergroup , we deal with the elements belonging to the nonempty subsets of . The concept of -ideals of semigroups was introduced by Grosek and Satko [21] and was further investigated in [22]. In [23], Suebsung et al. studied -hyperideals in semihypergroups.
Hyperfilter theory in ordered hyperstructures has been investigated by many mathematicians. In 2015, Tang et al. [24] studied (fuzzy) hyperfilters in ordered semihypergroups. In 2018, Omidi et al. [25] applied the hyperfilter theory to ordered -semihypergroups and obtained some results in this respect. In 2019, Bouaziz and Yaqoob [26] investigated some properties of rough hyperfilters in po-LA-semihypergroups. The notion of -hyperideals was introduced in various ordered hyperstructures and had been studied by many authors, for instance, Mahboob et al. [27], Omidi and Davvaz [28], and many others.
Motivated by the work of Kaopusek et al. [29] and Mahboob and Khan [30], we applied the concepts of almost interior ideals and -hyperfilters to ordered -semihypergroups. In Section 2, we give the preliminary concepts concerning ordered -semihypergroups and -hyperideals. In Section 3, the notion of almost interior -hyperideals (briefly, -hyperideal) is given. In addition, some properties of -hyperfilters in ordered -semihypergroups have been proven. Finally, we conclude in Section 4 with some arising examples. Theory of -hyperideals and -hyperfilters is useful to explore new results associated with ordered -semihypergroups.
2. Preliminaries

The notion of -semihypergroups has been introduced by Anvariyeh et al. [17] in 2010. In this section, we present some notions related to (ordered) -semihypergroup theory.

If and are nonempty subsets of , thenLet be an equivalence relation on an ordered -semihypergroup . If and are nonempty subsets of , then(1).(2).(3) and and .(4) and .(5).A relation on an ordered -semihypergroup is called a pseudoorder [25] on if (1) ; (2) and imply for all ; (3) implies and for all and .

This means that is an -hyperideal of , which is a contradiction. This completes the proof.
In the following, as a continuation of the previous study [25], the authors discuss -hyperfilter in ordered -semihypergroups. The -hyperfilter of ordered -semihypergroups is defined as follows.
Definition 5. A sub -semihypergroup of an ordered -semihypergroup is called a left -hyperfilter (resp. right -hyperfilter) of if(1)For all and (resp. ).(2)For all and .Here, are positive integers. Note that if is both a left -hyperfilter and a right -hyperfilter of , then is called an -hyperfilter of .

So, . Therefore, is an -hyperfilter of . Let be a sub -semihypergroup (resp. nonempty subset) of an ordered -semihypergroup . Then, is called an -hyperideal (resp. generalized -hyperideal) [34] of if (1) and (2) . Moreover, an -hyperideal of an ordered -semihypergroup is said to be completely prime if for each and such that , then or . An ordered -semihypergroup is called -regular if for every there exist and such that .

If , then . Since is completely prime, we get or , which is a contradiction. Thus, and so is a sub -semihypergroup of . Now, let , , and . Let or . Without any loss of generality, we assume that . Since is -regular, we get . Then,Since is commutative and is an -hyperideal of , we haveIt implies that , which is a contradiction. Thus, and . Next, let and . If , then, since is an -hyperideal of , we get , a contradiction. So, , and thus is an -hyperfilter of .
4. Construction of Ordered -Semihypergroups
In this section, we consider some ordered -semihypergroups, where we define an ordered regular equivalence relation such that the quotient is an ordered -semihypergroup. More exactly, starting with an ordered -semihypergroup and using , we can construct an ordered -semihypergroup structure on the quotient set.
Example 3. LetDefine the hyperoperation and (partial) order relation on as follows:Then, is an ordered -semihypergroup. We give the covering relation asThe figure of is shown in Figure 3.
