1. [10 points] Determine whether the following statements are true or false (you have to include proofs/counterexamples): (a) Let R be an integral domain, F – a free R-module of finite rank, and M – a torsion R-module. Then there is no injective homomorphism from F to M . Solution: True. Suppose there was an injective homomorpism φ : F → M . Then let N = φ(F ); N is a submodule of M , and there...

In previous research we extended the submodule construction techniques to cover a more expressive and compact behavioral model that handles data through parameterized interactions, state variables, and simple transition guards. The model was based on extended Input/Output Automata, and the algorithm on the Chaos concept. In this paper we generalize these extensions and improve the submodule con...

We introduce an extension of the derivatives of rational expressions to expressions denoting formal power series over partially commuting variables. The expressions are purely noncommutative, however they denote partially commuting power series. The derivations (which are so-called φ-derivations) are shown to satisfy the commutation relations. Our main result states that for every so-called rig...

In this article, we formalize some basic facts of Z-module. In the first section, we discuss the rank of submodule of Z-module and its properties. Especially, we formally prove that the rank of any Z-module is equal to or more than that of its submodules, and vice versa, there exists a submodule with any given rank that satisfies the above condition. In the next section, we mention basic facts ...

Let $N$ be a submodule of a module $M$ and a minimal primary decomposition of $N$ is known‎. ‎A formula to compute Baer's lower nilradical of $N$ is given‎. ‎The relations between classical prime submodules and their nilradicals are investigated‎. ‎Some situations in which semiprime submodules can be written as finite intersection of classical prime submodule are stated‎.

Abstract Transparency and perfect absorption are two contradictory terms; a absorber never permits waves to transmit through. However, this statement only remains true in the linear regime, where nonlinearity has been omitted physical system like is not affected by incoming waves. Here we experimentally demonstrate an intriguing self-induced transparency effect perfectly absorbing optical micro...
