A pseudo-addition in BL-algebras is a binary operation that is associative and non commutative. The aim of this paper is to use the notion of pseudo-addition to study the notion of ideal and fuzzy ideal as a natural generalization of that of ideal and fuzzy ideal in MV-algebras. Using a pseudo-addition, we characterize fuzzy ideals and also obtain a concrete description of the fuzzy ideals gene...

Our goal is to establish an efficient decomposition of an ideal A of a commutative ring R as an intersection of primal ideals. We prove the existence of a canonical primal decomposition: A = ⋂ P∈XA A(P ), where the A(P ) are isolated components of A that are primal ideals having distinct and incomparable adjoint primes P . For this purpose we define the set Ass(A) of associated primes of the id...

It is proved that the commutator subgroup of the fundamental group of the complement of any plane affine irreducible Hurwitz curve (respectively, any plane affine irreducible pseudoholomorphic curve) is finitely presented. It is shown that there exists a pseudo-holomorphic curve (a Hurwitz curve) in CP whose fundamental group of the complement is not Hopfian and, respectively, this group is not...

Solution: The ring F [x] of polynomials with coefficients in a field F is a P.I.D. Each prime ideal is generated by a monic, irreducible polynomial. Assume there are only a finite number of prime ideals generated by the polynomials f1, . . . , fn and let f(x) = 1+f1(x) · · · fn(x). No fi divides f , hence f is also irreducible. This contradicts the assumption that all the prime ideals were gene...

A universal algebra is simple if and only if it has more than one element and there are no proper homomorphisms defined upon it. In this note we study a related notion : an algebra is pseudo-simple if and only if it has more than one element and is isomorphic to all its proper (i.e., non-one-element) homomorphic images. The two concepts simplicity and pseudo-simplicity are examples of concepts ...

Characterizations of fuzzy ideals of a pseudo-BCK algebra are established. Conditions for a fuzzy set to be a fuzzy ideal are given. Given a fuzzy set μ, the least fuzzy ideal containing μ is constructed. The homomorphic properties of fuzzy ideals of a pseudoBCK algebra are provided. Finally, characterizations of Noetherian pseudo-BCK algebras and Artinian pseudo-BCK algebras via fuzzy ideals a...

The pseudo-SU(3) model is extended to explicitly include the spin and protonneutron degrees of freedom. A general formalism for evaluating matrix elements of one-body and two-body tensor operators within this framework is presented. The pairing interaction, which couples different irreducible representations of SU(3), is expressed in terms of pseudo-space tensors and a general result is given f...

In the study of double-loop computer networks, the diagrams known as L-shapes arise as a graphical representation of an optimal routing for every graph’s node. The description of these diagrams provides an efficient method for computing the diameter and the average minimum distance of the corresponding graphs. We extend these diagrams to multiloop computer networks. For each Cayley digraph with...

A left almost semigroup (LA-semigroup) or an Abel-Grassmann’s groupoid (AG-groupoid) is investigated in several papers. In this paper we have discussed ideals in LA-semigroups. Specifically, we have shown that every ideal in an LA-semigroup S with left identity e is prime if and only if it is idempotent and the set of ideals of S is totally ordered under inclusion. We have shown that an ideal o...
