‎We present a characterization of Arens regular semigroup algebras‎ ‎$ell^1(S)$‎, ‎for a large class of semigroups‎. ‎Mainly‎, ‎we show that‎ ‎if the set of idempotents of an inverse semigroup $S$ is finite‎, ‎then $ell^1(S)$ is Arens regular if and only if $S$ is finite‎.

Generally, in any human field, a Smarandache Structure on a set A means a weak structure W on A such that there exists a proper subset B of A which is embedded with a strong structure S. In [9], Kandasamy studied the concept of Smarandache groupoids, subgroupoids, ideal of groupoids, seminormal subgroupoids, Smarandache Bol groupoids, and strong Bol groupoids and obtained many interesting resul...

Semiheaps are ternary generalisations of involuted semigroups. The first kind of semiheaps studied were heaps, which correspond closely to groups. We apply the radical theory of varieties of idempotent algebras to varieties of idempotent semiheaps. The class of heaps is shown to be a radical class, as are two larger classes having no involuted semigroup counterparts. Radical decompositions of v...

We consider the action of a semigroup S on a standard space E. An orbit coupling of two probability measures on E is a coupling of these measures giving the largest possible weight to the event that the orbits of the two coordinates meet each other. We establish the existence of such orbit couplings for a large class of semigroups S. We also discuss some applications.

A semigroup S is called surjective if S 2 = S. The aim of this paper is to prove that p n-sequences of nite surjective semigroups are eventually strictly increasing, except in few well known cases, when they are bounded. Also, some further types of nite semigroups, obtained by means of subdirect products, are shown to have the same property.

The Stokes semigroup on a bounded domain is an analytic semigroup on spaces of bounded functions as was recently shown by the authors based on an a priori L∞-estimate for solutions to the linear Stokes equations. In this paper, we extend our approach to exterior domains and prove that the Stokes semigroup is uniquely extendable to an analytic semigroup on spaces of bounded functions.

We examine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroup of an m-tuple of points on a smooth, projective, absolutely irreducible curve X over a finite field IF. A criteria is given for determining a minimal subset of semigroup elements which generate such a semigroup where 2 ≤ m ≤| IF |. For all 2 ≤ m ≤ q + 1, we determine the Weierstrass semigroup of any m-tuple of collinear IFq2 -rational points...

In this paper, we prove that the numerical-semigroup-gap counting problem is #NP-complete as a main theorem. A numerical semigroup is an additive semigroup over the set of all nonnegative integers. A gap of a numerical semigroup is defined as a positive integer that does not belong to the numerical semigroup. The computation of gaps of numerical semigroups has been actively studied from the 19t...

A class of differential Riccati equations (DREs) is considered whereby the evolution of any solution can be identified with the propagation of a value function of a corresponding optimal control problem arising in L2-gain analysis. By exploiting the semigroup properties inherited from the attendant dynamic programming principle, a max-plus primal space fundamental solution semigroup of max-plus...

A subset of an abelian semigroup is called an asymptotic basis for the semigroup if every element of the semigroup with at most finitely many exceptions can be represented as the sum of two distinct elements of the basis. The representation function of the basis counts the number of representations of an element of the semigroup as the sum of two distinct elements of the basis. Suppose there is...
