Abstract

Let (G,)(G,*) and (G,)(G',\cdot) be groupoids. A bijection f:GGf: G \rightarrow G' is called a half-isomorphism if f(xy){f(x)f(y),f(y)f(x)}f(x*y)\in\{f(x)\cdot f(y),f(y)\cdot f(x)\}, for any x,yG x, y \in G. A half-isomorphism of a groupoid onto itself is a half-automorphism. A half-isomorphism ff is called special if f1f^{-1} is also a half-isomorphism. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of special half-isomorphisms on groupoids and quasigroups are obtained. Furthermore, some examples of non-special half-automorphisms for loops of infinite order are provided.
