Abstract

The notions of 𝒩-subalgebras and 𝒩-closed ideals in BCH-algebras are introduced, and the relation between 𝒩-subalgebras and 𝒩-closed ideals is considered. Characterizations of 𝒩-subalgebras and 𝒩-closed ideals are provided. Using special subsets, 𝒩-subalgebras and 𝒩-closed ideals are constructed. A condition for an 𝒩-subalgebra to be an 𝒩-closed ideal is discussed. Given an 𝒩-structure, the greatest 𝒩-closed ideal which is contained in the 𝒩-structure is established.
