Abstract
Given a set ${\Omega}$ and the notion of bipolar valued fuzzy sets, the concept of a bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroup in semigroups is introduced, and related properties are investigated. Using bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups, bipolar fuzzy sub-semigroups are constructed. Conversely, bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are established by using bipolar fuzzy sub-semigroups. A characterizations of a bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroup is provided, and normal bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are discussed. How the homomorphic images and inverse images of bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups become bipolar ${\Omega}$-fuzzy sub-semigroups are considered.
