ABSTRACT:In this paper we generalize the construction of a bicrossproduct Hopf algebra from a factorization of a finite group X into a subgroup G and a subsemigroup H. In addition, we show that these bicrossproduct Hopf algebras are self-dual as Hopf algebras whenever they correspond to factor-reversing automorphisms of X.
KEYWORDS:Self duality; bicrossproducts Hopf algebras
