Abstract
In this paper we discuss the structure of -semihypergroups. We prove some basic results and present several examples of -semihypergroups. Also, we obtain some properties of regular and strongly regular relations on a -semihypergroup and construct a -semigroup from a -semihypergroup by using the notion of fundamental relation.
