RESIDUAL OF IDEALS OF AN L-RING

The concept of right (left) quotient (or residual) of an ideal η by anideal ν of an L-subring μ of a ring R is introduced. The right (left) quotients areshown to be ideals of μ . It is proved that the right quotient [η :r ν ] of an idealη by an ideal ν of an L-subring μ is the largest ideal of μ such that[η :r ν ]ν ⊆ η . Most of the results pertaining to the notion of quotients(or residual) of an ideal of ordinary rings are extended to L-ideal theory ofL-subrings.
