Abstract

The associated graphs of BCK/BCI-algebras will be studied. To do so, the notions of ( 𝑙 -prime) quasi-ideals and zero divisors are first introduced and related properties are investigated. The concept of associative graph of a BCK/BCI-algebra is introduced, and several examples are displayed.
