Abstract
In this note we define the notions of q-ideals and a-ideals in BCI-algebras. We give several characterizations and the extensive theorems about q-ideals and a-ideals. We show that a non-empty subset of a BCI-algebra is a-ideal if and only if it is both q-ideal and p-ideal. Finally, we give four characterizations of associative BCI-algebras by a-ideals and eight characterizations of quasi-associative BCI-algebras by q-ideals.
