Partial groupoids
Abbreviation: Pargoid
Definition
A \emph{partial groupoid} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot\rangle$, where
$\cdot$ is a \emph{partial binary operation}, i.e., $\cdot: A\times A\to A+\{*\}$.
Remark: The domain of definition of $\cdot$ is Dom$(\cdot)=\{\langle x,y\rangle\in A^2 \mid x\cdot y\ne *\}$
Morphisms
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be partial groupoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: if $x\cdot y\ne *$ then $h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$
Examples
Example 1: The empty partial binary operation on any set $A$ gives a partial groupoid.
