The Dezert-Smarandache theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning is based on the premise that some elements θi of a frame Θ have a non-empty intersection. These elements are called exhaustive. In number theory, this property is observed only in non-Archimedean number systems, for example, in the ring Zp of p-adic integers, in the field Q of hyperrational numbers, in the field R of hyperreal...

we provide fuzzy quasi-metric versions of a fixed point theorem ofgregori and sapena for fuzzy contractive mappings in g-complete fuzzy metricspaces and apply the results to obtain fixed points for contractive mappingsin the domain of words.

Let B be a quaternion algebra over number field K : Assume that B satisfies the Eichler condition (i.e., there is at least one archimedean place which is unramified in B). Let O be an order in a quadratic extension L of K: The Eichler orders of B which admit an embedding of O are determined. This is a generalization of Chinburg and Friedman’s embedding theorem for maximal orders. r 2004 Elsevie...

We prove that the interval topology of an Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebra E is Hausdorff whenever the set of all atoms of E is almost orthogonal. In such a case E is order continuous. If moreover E is complete then order convergence of nets of elements of E is topological and hence it coincides with convergence in the order topology and this topology is compact Hausdorff compatible wi...

An archimedean vector lattice A might have the following properties: (1) the sigma property (σ): For each {an}n∈N ⊆ A there are {λn}n∈N ⊆ (0,∞) and a ∈ A with λnan ≤ a for each n; (2) order convergence and relative uniform convergence are equivalent, denoted (OC⇒ RUC): if an ↓ 0 then an → 0 r.u. The conjunction of these two is called strongly Egoroff. We consider vector lattices of the formD(X)...
