Abstract
Let X and A be weak Hopf algebras in the sense of Li (Citation1998). As in the case of Hopf algebras (Majid, Citation1990), a weak bicrossed coproduct X∞ R A is constructed by means of good regular R-matrices of the weak Hopf algebras X and A. Using this, we provide a new framework of obtaining singular solutions of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation by constructing weak quasitriangular structures over X∞ R A when both X and A admit a weak quasitriangular structure. Finally, two explicit examples are given.
