Solutions of the BiHom-Yang-Baxter equation

In this paper we extend the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) into the setting of BiHom-structures and the BiHom-Yang-Baxter equation (BHYBE) is introduced. Two methods for constructing solutions of the BHYBE are discussed, one from Hopf algebras and the other from BiHom-Lie algebras. Finally, as an application, we show that a solution of the BHYBE can generate a representation of the braid group.
