1. Introduction
The notion of Krasner hyperring goes back to Kasner’s paper [
1] in 1983. Krasner hyperrings are generalizations of rings in which the addition is multivalued. Several books on hyperstructure theory have been published [
2,
3]. A multiring [
4] is a ring with multivalued addition. The study of hypergroups was first undertaken by Marty (1934) in [
5].
The study of ordered semihypergroups was started in [
6,
7,
8,
9] when the authors investigated constructions of this kind of hyperstructures using pseudo-orders and regular relations. The systematic study and comprehensive presentation of ordered semi-hypergroups began with the work of Heidari and Davvaz in [
6]. Moreover, in [
7], Davvaz et al. investigated pseudo-orders and strongly regular relations. Later, regular relations of ordered semi-hyper-groups appeared in the work of Gu and Tang [
8]. Recently, Tang et al. [
9] worked on weak pseudo-orders. Later on, Qiang et al. [
10] defined the concept of the weak pseudo-orders in ordered semi-hyperrings and investigated quotient ordered semi-hyperrings.
The theory of derivation is one of the most fascinating research areas in rings and hyperrings. The first step in this direction was taken by Posner [
11] in 1957 and Asokkumar [
12] in 2013. Despite the short time since 2013, this topic has attracted considerable attention from many authors. Differential hyperrings introduced by Kamali Ardekani and Davvaz (2015) in [
13] became one of the most interesting notions in the study of hyperrings. Rao et al. [
14] generalized the notion of derivations on ordered semihyperrings. The concept of
m-
k-hyper-ideals in ordered semi-hyperrings was defined in [
14]. Kou et al. continued the work on derivations on ordered semi-hyperrings [
15] and various constructions of ordered hyper-structures are found in [
15,
16]. The study of semi-derivations in hyperrings began with the work of Yilmaz and Yazarli in [
17]. The concept of derivations is used in coding theory [
18,
19].
Derivations on hyperrings can tell us about the structure of the hyperrings. We formally define the derivation of hyperrings, similar to what we define in number theory. This feature is based on the characteristic of the derivative of the Leibniz product rule of functions, which is defined based on the hyper-operation of hyper-addition and multiplication; that is, two hyper-operations are needed. Based on the derivation of the hyperrings, we can define some features of hyperrings.
Derivations can be useful in determining whether a ring is commutative [
20,
21]. Clearly, a ring
R is commutative if and only if every inner derivation
on it is zero. In [
22], Chvalina and Chvalinov
gave a construction of hyper-structures determined by quasi-orders defined by means of derivation operators on differential rings. They introduced a hyper-operation ∗ on a differential ring
R such that
is a hyper-group. In [
14], Rao et al. proved that if
d is a homo-derivation of an ordered semihyperring
R, then
is a
k-hyper-ideal of
R. Hyperrings with derivations has been studied by Kamali Ardekani and Davvaz in [
13], especially the relationships between derivations and the structure of hyperrings. Motivated by the above works on derivations, we study hyper-ideals of an ordered hyperring with the help of derivations.
Definition 1 ([
2]).
Let be the family of all non-empty subsets of . A mapping is called a (binary) hyper-operation on R. A hyper-operation ⊕ is called symmetric if for all . If and , thenNow, is called a semihyper-group if for every in R, A semihyper-group is called a hyper-group if for every , . Indeed, hyper-groups characterize the symmetry of hyper-operations.
Definition 2. A tuple is a Krasner hyperring [1,3] if - (1)
is a canonical hyper-group [23], i.e., for all in R, (i) , (ii) , (iii) there exists such that , (iv) for all x in R, there exists a unique element in R, such that (we shall write for , and we call it the inverse of x), (v) is reversible, i.e., implies that and ; - (2)
is a semigroup and for all x in R;
- (3)
The multiplication ⊙ is distributive with respect to the hyper-addition ⊕.
For all , we have
In addition, we have
.
For all in a hyperring R, we will denote the commutator sets
- (i)
;
- (ii)
.
This study tries to consider the derivations based on homomorphisms and investigates some results based on and . In this connection, several properties of (i) and (ii) are investigated. In this research, we succeeded in studying the concepts of strong derivations and homo-derivations of ordered hyperrings. In addition, the concepts of and are defined, and some results for these concepts with their complete proofs are investigated.
2. Special Kinds of Derivations in Ordered Hyperrings
Let us review some definitions and concepts on (ordered) hyperrings from [
3,
15,
24], which we apply in what follows.
Definition 3. We let R and ≤ be the Krasner hyperring and the (partial) order (reflexive, anti-symmetric, and transitive) relation, respectively. An ordered hyperring is compatible with ⊕ and ⊙, i.e., for all in R, Here, means for any there exists such that .
If , then
We denote the center of R by

In addition,
R is a
2-torsion-free ordered hyperring if
In the following, we clarify the concept of strong derivations as an expansion of derivations by some examples.
Definition 5. A derivation of an ordered hyperring is a function such that for all in R,
