Abstract
In this paper, as a further generalization of m-polar fuzziness subalgebras, we present the conception of an m-polar -fuzzy subalgebra in BCK/BCI-algebras and discuss some interesting properties of it. We define an m-polar -fuzzy subalgebras and explore some of its significant attributes. Certain features of m-polar -fuzzy subalgebras are established.
1. Introduction
In 1966, Imai and Iséki created two algebraic structures known as ‘BCK/BCI algebras’ [Citation1,Citation2]. Since then, the concept and the generalizations have been researched in a variety of ways. Some classifications of BCK/BCI-algebras are considered in [Citation3–6]. The theory of fuzzy sets, which was initiated by Zadeh in his pioneering paper [Citation7] in 1965, was applied by many researchers to discuss the phenomena of uncertainty and vagueness in real life problems. In 1994, Zhang [Citation8] gave a remarkable generalization of Zadeh's fuzzy set and presented the bipolar fuzzy sets. The various features of bipolar information in algebraic structures are considered in [Citation9–12]. To deal with multi information in the fuzzy set theory, Chen et al. [Citation13] gave the notation of multi polar valued function and constructed m-polar fuzzy (m-) sets. After the introduction of m- sets by Chen et al., m- set theory has become an active area of research in various fields such as lie algebras [Citation14,Citation15], ordered semihypergroups [Citation16], subgroups [Citation17], BCK/BCI-algebras [Citation18–20]. For more studies related to BCK and BCI algebraic structures, see [Citation21].
Fuzzy groups were introduced in 1971 due to Rosenfeld [Citation22] while Bhakat and Das worked on fuzzy group of type based on point fuzzy set in groups [Citation23]. Jun, Muhiuddin and Al-Roqi worked on fuzzy subalgebra of type based on point fuzzy set in BCK/BCI-algebras [Citation24–26]. In this side, Ibrara et al. [Citation27], Dudek et al. [Citation28] and Narayanan et al. [Citation29] extended [Citation23] to semigroups, hemirings and near-rings, respectively. Al-Masarwah and Ahmad [Citation30] worked on subalgebras of type based on m- points in BCK/BCI-algebras. Also, they worked on fuzzy ideals of type based on point m- in [Citation31]. In [Citation32], Ma et al. presented the idea of -fuzzy ideals in BCI-algebras. In [Citation33], Jana and Pal presented fuzzy soft BCI-algebras. Zulfiqar and Shabir [Citation34], worked on fuzzy sub-commutative ideals of type based on point fuzzy set in BCI-algebras. In Γ-hyperrings, Zhan [Citation35] presented -fuzzy soft Γ-hyperideals while Zulfiqar worked on fuzzy fantastic ideal of type based on point fuzzy set in BCH–algebras [Citation36].
Inspired by previous works in this direction, in this paper, we combine the m- sets with BCK/BCI-subalgebras to broaden application fields of theory of fuzzy sets and provide more ways to study fuzzy algebras. We present a new kind of generalized m- subalgebras of a BCK/BCI-algebra called, an m-polar -fuzzy subalgebra. We present some interesting properties of an m-polar -fuzzy subalgebra. Next, we define the notion of m-polar -fuzzy subalgebras and investigate some related properties. Finally, some characterization theorems of m-polar -fuzzy subalgebras are established.

5. Conclusions
In this study, we present a new sort of generalized m- subalgebras of ℧ called, an m-polar -fuzzy subalgebra and examined some of its features. We also defined and analyzed the notion of m- s. Finally, we demonstrated some characterizations of m- s.
We hope that the research in this area can be expanded, and some of the results in this study have already laid the groundwork for further investigation into the further development of m- BCK/BCI-algebras and their applications in other branches of algebra. In the future, our proposed structure could be used in a variety of areas, such as semihypergroups, lattice implication algebras, UP-algebras, and so on.
