Abstract

In the article, we study parastrophic-orthogonal ternary quasigroups: namely, group isotopes which have 3 and 4 distinct parastrophes. The necessary and sufficient conditions for ternary medial quasigroups with 3 and 4 distinct parastrophes to be totally parastrophic-orthogonal are proved. The conditions under which these quasigroups are strongly parastrophic-orthogonal are described. Thus, some methods of constructing orthogonal and strongly orthogonal ternary quasigroups are obtained.
