We define weakly positive tensors and study the relations among essentially positive tensors, weakly positive tensors, and primitive tensors. In particular, an explicit linear convergence rate of the Liu-Zhou-Ibrahim(LZI) algorithm for finding the largest eigenvalue of an irreducible nonnegative tensor, is established for weakly positive tensors. Numerical results are given to demonstrate linea...

We investigate antihomomorphic images and pre images of semiprime, strongly primary, irreducible and strongly irreducible fuzzy ideals of a ring. We also prove that: For a surjective anti-homomorphism f : R → R, if every fuzzy ideal of R is f -invariant and has a fuzzy primary (respectively, strongly primary) decomposition in R, then every fuzzy ideal of R has a fuzzy primary (respectively, str...

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.

The relation between facets of Rees cones of clutters and irreducible b-vertex covers is examined. Let G be a simple graph and let Ic(G) be its ideal of vertex covers. We give a graph theoretical description of the irreducible bvertex covers of G, i.e., we describe the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of Ic(G). As an application we recover an explicit description of the edge cone...

A characteristic set theory for partial difference polynomial systems is proposed. We introduce the concept of coherent and regular ascending chains and prove that a partial difference ascending chain is the characteristic set of its saturation ideal if and only if it is coherent and regular. This gives a method to decide whether a polynomial belongs to the saturation ideal of an ascending chai...

We study linear free divisors, that is, free divisors arising as discriminants in prehomogeneous vector spaces, and in particular in quiver representation spaces. We give a characterization of the prehomogeneous vector spaces containing such linear free divisors. For reductive linear free divisors, we prove that the numbers of geometric and representation theoretic irreducible components coinci...

In this paper, we first introduce the concepts of weakly prime and weakly quasi-prime fuzzy left ideals of an ordered semigroup S. Furthermore, we give some characterizations of weakly prime and weakly quasi-prime fuzzy left ideals of an ordered semigroup S by the ordered fuzzy points and fuzzy subsets of S. Keywords—Ordered semigroup; ordered fuzzy point; weakly prime fuzzy left ideal; weakly ...
