On locally <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-convex <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>*-algebras

We endow any proper A-convex H*-algebra (E, τ) with a locally pre-C*-topology. The latter is equivalent to that introduced by the pre C*-norm given by Ptàk function when (E, τ) is a Q-algebra. We also prove that the algebra of complex numbers is the unique proper locally A-convex H*-algebra which is barrelled and Q-algebra.      

Localization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">LM</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>-algebras

The aim of this paper is to define the localization LM _n -algebra of an LM _n —algebra L with respect to a topology F on L; in Section 5 we prove that the maximal LM _n -algebra of fractions (defined in [3]) and the LM _n -algebra of fractions relative to an Λ—closed system (defined in Section 2) are LM _n -algebras of localization.     

Implicative hyper <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-algebras

In this note we first define the notions of (weak, strong) implicative hyper K-algebras. Then we show by examples that these notions are different. After that we state and prove some theorems which determine the relationship between these notions and (weak) hyper K-ideals. Also we obtain some relations between these notions and (weak) implicative hyper K-ideals. Finally, we study the implicative hyper K-algebras of order 3, in particular we obtain a relationship between the positive implicative hyper K-algebras and (weak, strong) implicative hyper K-algebras under a simple condition.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Ideals in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Regular Semirings

In this paper, we introduce p-ideals in semirings. A new form of regularity, which is compatible with p-ideals, is defined. Our aim is to explore the possibilities of establishing an ideal theory in semirings, going alongside the existing literature of semiring theory.AMS Subject Classification (2000): Primary 16Y60     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-mixed intersection bodies

In this paper the author first introduce a new concept of L _p -dual mixed volumes of star bodies which extends the classical dual mixed volumes. Moreover, we extend the notions of L _p intersection body to L _p -mixed intersection body. Inequalities for L _p -dual mixed volumes of L _p -mixed intersection bodies are established and the results established here provide new estimates for these type of inequalities.

Ultra LI-ideals in lattice implication algebras

We define an ultra LI-ideal of a lattice implication algebra and give equivalent conditions for an LI-ideal to be ultra. We show that every subset of a lattice implication algebra which has the finite additive property can be extended to an ultra LI-ideal.     

The flatness properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-poset <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis>) and Rees factor <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-posets

Let S be a pomonoid and I a proper right ideal of S. In a previous paper, using the amalgamated coproduct A(I) of two copies of _S S over I, we were able to solve one of the problems posed in S. Bulman-Fleming et al. (Commun. Algebra 34:1291–1317, 2006). In the present paper, we investigate further flatness properties of A(I). We also solve another problem stated in the paper cited above. Namely, we determine the condition under which Rees factor S-posets have property (P _w ). Research supported by nwnu-kjcxgc-03-18.     

Approximations for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">GI</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">GI</Emphasis> type call center

In this paper, we propose approximations to compute the steady-state performance measures of the M/GI/N+GI queue receiving Poisson arrivals with N identical servers, and general service and abandonment-time distributions. The approximations are based on scaling a single server M/GI/1+GI queue. For problems involving deterministic and exponential abandon times distributions, we suggest a practical way to compute the waiting time distributions and their moments using the Laplace transform of the workload density function. Our first contribution is numerically computing the workload density function in the M/GI/1+GI queue when the abandon times follow general distributions different from the deterministic and exponential distributions. Then we compute the waiting time distributions and their moments. Next, we scale-up the M/GI/1+GI queue giving rise to our approximations to capture the behavior of the multi-server system. We conduct extensive numerical experiments to test the speed and performance of the approximations, which prove the accuracy of their predictions.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis>*-convergence of double sequences

The idea of I-convergence was introduced by Kostyrko et al (2001) and also independently by Nuray and Ruckle (2000) (who called it generalized statistical convergence) as a generalization of statistical convergence (Fast (1951), Schoenberg(1959)). For the last few years, study of these convergences of sequences has become one of the most active areas of research in classical Analysis. In 2003 Muresaleen and Edely introduced the concept of statistical convergence of double sequences. In this paper we consider the notions of I and I*-convergence of double sequences in real line as well as in general metric spaces. We primarily study the inter-relationship between these two types of convergence and then investigate the category and porosity position of bounded I and I*-convergent double sequences.

Radicals and <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis>-modules

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an l-prime l-ideal and that of a right l-semiprime l-ideal. We prove that our definitions coincide with the definitions of M. A. Shatalova in the case of two-sided l-ideals. Our main results are the following ones. The radical of an l-ring can be represented as the intersection of the right l-ideals for each of which the following condition holds: the quotient ring by the maximal l-ideal contained in the given right l-ideal is semisimple. The hypernilpotent radical of an l-ring can be represented as the intersection of the right l-semiprime ideals satisfying the same condition.
