In [9], Dawson and the second author asked whether or not a Banach function algebra with dense invertible group can have a proper Shilov boundary. We give an example of a uniform algebra showing that this can happen, and investigate the properties of such algebras. We make some remarks on the topological stable rank of commutative, unital Banach algebras. In particular, we prove that tsr(A) ≥ t...

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Communicated by (Name) The article analyzes similarity of closed polygonal curves in Frechet metric, which is stronger than the well-known Hausdorff metric and therefore is more appropriate in some applications. An algorithm that determines whether the Frechet distance between two closed polygonal curves with m and n vertices is less than a given ...

For distributive double p-algebras, a close connection is established between being congruence coherent and congruence regular. Every congruence regular distributive double p-algebra is congruence coherent. Even though every congruence coherent distributive double p-algebra that has either a non-empty core or finite range is congruence regular, an example is given that is congruence coherent bu...

In this paper we define the concepts of co-medial algebra and regular algebra and we will show that for a regular co-medial algebra (A, f , g), there exist a commutative semigroup (A,+), such that the operations f , g have the linear representation on (A,+). As a consequence of above result, we have the linear representation of an n−ary medial groupoid with an regular element, which was obtaine...
