Let S be a locally compact topological foundation semigroup with identity and Ma(S) be its semigroup algebra. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have abounded approximate identity in closed codimension one ideals of the semigroup algebra $M_a(S)$ of a locally compact topological foundationsemigroup with identity.

This paper studies, with techniques of Abstract Algebraic Logic, the effects of putting a bound on the cardinality of the set of side formulas in the Deduction Theorem, viewed as a Gentzen-style rule, and of adding additional assumptions inside the formulas present in Modus Ponens, viewed as a Hilbert-style rule. As a result, a denumerable collection of new Gentzen systems and two new sententia...

Let ~ C be a category whose objects are semigroups with topology and morphisms are closed semigroup relations, in particular, continuous homomorphisms. An object X of the category ~ C is called ~ C-closed if for each morphism Φ ⊂ X×Y in the category ~ C the image Φ(X) = {y ∈ Y : ∃x ∈ X (x, y) ∈ Φ} is closed in Y. In the paper we survey existing and new results on topological groups, which are ~...

We initiate the study of interval-valued fuzzy quasi-ideal of a semigroup. In Section 2, we list some basic definitions in the later sections. In Section 3, we investigate interval-valued fuzzy subsemigroups and in Section 4, we define intervalvalued fuzzy quasi-ideals and establish some of their basic properties. In Section 5, we obtain characterizations of regular and intraregular semigroups ...

It has been well known that the band of idempotents of a naturally ordered orthodox semigroup satisfying the “strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition” forms a normal band. In the literature, the naturally ordered orthodox semigroups satisfying the strong Dubreil-Jacotin condition were first considered by Blyth and Almeida Santos in 1992. Based on the name “epigroup” in the paper of Blyth and Almeida S...

We introduce the notion of ideals in implicative semigroups, and then state the characterizations of the ideals. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 20M12, 06F05, 06A06, 06A12.

The syntactic semigroup problem is to decide whether a given finite semigroup is syntactic or not. This work investigates the syntactic semigroup problem for both the semigroup reducts of A(Bn), the affine nearsemiring over a Brandt semigroup Bn. It is ascertained that both the semigroup reducts of A(Bn) are syntactic semigroups.

In this paper we establish a characterization of abelian compact Hausdorff semigroups with unique idempotent and ideal retraction property. We also introduce a function algebra on a semitopological semigroup whose associated semigroup compactification is universal withrespect to these properties.

The main aim of this work is to introduce and study the notions ideal direct product d-algebras, d-ideal sub-direct edge positive implicative d-algebras investigate their characterizations.
