Abstract

The hypergroups H of type U on the right can be classified in termsof the family P1={1xxınH}, where 1ınH isthe right scalar identity. If the size of H is 5, then P1 canassume only 6 possible values, three of which have been studied inthe first part of the paper. In this paper, we completelydescribe other two of the remaining possible cases:a)~P1={{1},{2,3},{4},{5}};b)~Extra close brace or missing open brace.In these cases, P1 is a partition of H and the equivalencerelation associated to it is a regular equivalence on H.We find that, apart of isomorphisms, there are exactly 41hypergroups in case~a), and 56 hypergroup in case~b).
