RESULTS ON N-ABSORBING IDEALS OF COMMUTATIVE RINGS by Alison Elaine Becker The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Dr. Allen Bell Let R be a commutative ring with 1 6= 0. In his paper On 2-absorbing ideals of commutative rings, Ayman Badawi introduces a generalization of prime ideals called 2-absorbing ideals, and this idea is further generalized in a paper by Ander...

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [20] in 1965, several researchers have been working on the generalization of the fuzzification. In 1986, Atanassov [2] introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. For more details on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we refer to [2-4]. Fuzzy sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets but the converse is not necessarily true [18]. Kim and Jun [7, 8] int...

In [4] B. M. Schein considered systems of the form ( ; o; n),where is a set of functions closed under the composition "o" of functions (and hence ( ; o) is a function semigroup) and the set theoretic subtraction "n" (and hence is a subtraction algebra in the sense of [1]). He proved that every subtraction semigroup is isomorphic to a di erence semigroup of invertible functions. B. Zelinka [5] d...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $m$ be a finitely generated unital $r$-module. in this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $m$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. then some properties of fitting ideals of...

This article grew out of recent work of Dykema, Figiel, Weiss, and Wodzicki (Commutator structure of operator ideals) which inter alia characterizes commutator ideals in terms of arithmetic means. In this paper we study ideals that are arithmetically mean (am) stable, am-closed, am-open, soft-edged and soft-complemented. We show that many of the ideals in the literature possess such properties....

This paper is devoted to the foldness theory of implicative ideals in BCK-algebras. We use the fuzzy point concept to give some characterizations of fuzzy n-fold implicative ideals and establish some relationships with various n-fold ideals. We also construct some algorithms for studying the foldness of implicative ideals in BCK-algebras. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 13A15, 8A...

Let I be any index set. We consider the Banach algebra Ce + l(I) with the Hadamard product, and prove that its Bass and topological stable ranks are both equal to 1. We also characterize divisors, maximal ideals, closed ideals and closed principal ideals. For I = N we also characterize all prime z-ideals in this Banach algebra.

In this paper, a new approach to LA-semigroup theory is proposed by obtaining significant characterizations of regular, intra-regular, completely regular, weakly regular and quasi-regular LA-semigroups via soft intersection left (right, two-sided) ideals, (generalized) bi-ideals, interior ideals, quasi-ideals of LA-semigroups.
