We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the preservation of finite products by a reflection of a variety of universal algebras into an idempotent subvariety. It is also shown that simple and semi-left-exact reflections into subvarieties of universal algebras are the same. It then follows that a reflection of a variety of universal algebras into an idempotent subvariety has stable units...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ an $R$-module. A submodule $N$ of is called d-submodule $($resp., fd-submodule$)$ if $\ann_R(m)\subseteq \ann_R(m')$ $\ann_R(F)\subseteq \ann_R(m'))$ for some $m\in N$ finite subset $F\subseteq N)$ $m'\in M$ implies that N.$ Many examples, characterizations, properties these submodules are given. Moreover, we use them to characterize modules satisfying Prop...

SUMMARY We present a tool called MRSD (Metabolic Route Search and Design) to search and design routes based on the weighted compound transform diagraph. The search submodule returns routes between a source and product compound within seconds in the network of one or multiple organisms based on data from KEGG. The design submodule designs a route from an appointed compound in an interactive mode...

A new submodule clustering method via sparse and lowrank representation for multi-way data is proposed in this paper. Instead of reshaping multi-way data into vectors, this method maintains their natural orders to preserve data intrinsic structures, e.g., image data kept as matrices. To implement clustering, the multi-way data, viewed as tensors, are represented by the proposed tensor sparse an...

This paper is a very brief introduction to idempotent mathematics and related topics. It appears as an introductory paper in the volume Idempotent Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (G. L. Litvinov and V. P. Maslov, eds; AMS Contemporary Mathematics Proceedings Series, 2005) [73]. This paper is a very brief introduction, without exact theorems and proofs, to the Maslov dequantization and idem...

In this paper we establish a characterization of abelian compact Hausdorff semigroups with unique idempotent and ideal retraction property. We also introduce a function algebra on a semitopological semigroup whose associated semigroup compactification is universal withrespect to these properties.

We study idempotent analogs of topological tensor products in the sense of A. Grothendieck. The basic concepts and results are simulated on the algebraic level. This is one of a series of papers on idempotent functional analysis.

In this paper we characterize those hemirings for which each k-ideal is idempotent. We also characterize those hemirings for which each fuzzy k-ideal is idempotent. The space of prime k-ideals (fuzzy k-prime k-ideals) is topologized.
