Defect Prevention: Use of Simple Statistical Tools (Quality and Reliability)

Since the beginning, the Hyperstructure Theory and particu- larly the Hypergroup Theory, had applications to several domains. Marty, who introduced hypergroups in 1934, applied them to groups, algebraic functions and rational fractions. New applications to groups were also found among others by Eaton, Ore, Krasner, Utumi, Drbohlav, Harrison, Roth, Mockor, Sureau and Haddad. Connections with other subjects of classical pure Mathematics have been determined and studied: * Fields by Krasner, Stratigopoulos and Massouros Ch. * Lattices by Mittas, Comer, Konstantinidou, Serafimidis, Leoreanu and Calugareanu * Rings by Nakano, Kemprasit, Yuwaree * Quasigroups and Groupoids by Koskas, Corsini, Kepka, Drbohlav, Nemec * Semigroups by Kepka, Drbohlav, Nemec, Yuwaree, Kempra- sit, Punkla, Leoreanu * Ordered Structures by Prenowitz, Corsini, Chvalina IX x * Combinatorics by Comer, Tallini, Migliorato, De Salvo, Scafati, Gionfriddo, Scorzoni * Vector Spaces by Mittas * Topology by Mittas , Konstantinidou * Ternary Algebras by Bandelt and Hedlikova.
