Software generators can adapt components to changes in the architectures in which the components operate. The idea is to keep the architecture description separate and let the software generator mix it with speciications of each component. Adaptation is done by regeneration: when the architecture changes, the components are regenerated. A software component will usually be written with a partic...

A ring $R$ with identity is called ``clean'' if $~$for every element $ain R$, there exist an idempotent $e$ and a unit $u$ in $R$ such that $a=u+e$. Let $C(R)$ denote the center of a ring $R$ and $g(x)$ be a polynomial in $C(R)[x]$. An element $rin R$ is called ``g(x)-clean'' if $r=u+s$ where $g(s)=0$ and $u$ is a unit of $R$ and, $R$ is $g(x)$-clean if every element is $g(x)$-clean. In this pa...

In this article we study Steffensen method to solve nonlinear matrix equation $X+A^T X^{(-1)}A=Q$, when $A$ is a normal matrix. We establish some conditions that generate a sequence of positive denite matrices which converges to solution of this equation.
