In this paper, all rings are associative with identity and all modules are unital left modules unless otherwise specified. Let R be a ring and M a module. N ≤M will mean N is a submodule of M. A submodule E of M is called essential in M (notation E ≤e M) if E∩A = 0 for any nonzero submodule A of M. Dually, a submodule S of M is called small in M (notation S M) if M = S+T for any proper submodul...

In this paper we introduce the notions of G∗L-module and G∗L-module whichare two proper generalizations of δ-lifting modules. We give some characteriza tions and properties of these modules. We show that a G∗L-module decomposesinto a semisimple submodule M1 and a submodule M2 of M such that every non-zero submodule of M2 contains a non-zero δ-cosingular submodule.

In this paper we focus on a special class of commutative local‎ ‎rings called SPAP-rings and study the relationship between this‎ ‎class and other classes of rings‎. ‎We characterize the structure of‎ ‎modules and especially‎, ‎the prime submodules of free modules over‎ ‎an SPAP-ring and derive some basic properties‎. ‎Then we answer the‎ ‎question of Lam and Reyes about strongly Oka ideals fam...

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let M be a torsion free R-module. Several characterizations of distributive modules are investigated. Indeed, among other equivalent conditions, we prove that M is distributive if and only if any primal submodule of M is irreducible, and, if and only if each submodule of M can be represented as an intersection of irreducible isolated components. MSC...

In this paper, we introduce the notions of intuitionistic fuzzy prime (resp. strongly prime and semiprime) bi-ideals of a semigroup. By using these ideas we characterize those semigroups for which each intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is semiprime and strongly prime. Key words: Intuitionistic fuzzy set; intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal; intuitionistic fuzzy prime (resp. strongly prime and semiprime) ...

In this paper, we present new incremental algorithms for maintaining data structures that represent all connectivity cuts of size one in directed graphs (digraphs), and the strongly connected components that result by the removal of each of those cuts. We give a conditional lower bound that provides evidence that our algorithms may be tight up to a sub-polynomial factors. As an additional resul...

In this paper we give very sharp bounds for the distance between regularity and strong regularity. The solution of this problem uses a general matrix analogue [18] of the Perron-Frobenius Theory. This theory has been graded as a challenge problem for future research by the International Linear Algebra Society [7]. An interval matrix [A] ∈ IIMn(IR) is called regular, if every A ∈ [A] is nonsingu...

in this paper we investigate decompositions of submodules in modules over a proufer domain into intersections of quasi-primary and classical quasi-primary submodules. in particular, existence and uniqueness of quasi-primary decompositions in modules over a proufer domain of finite character are proved. proufer domain; primary submodule; quasi-primary submodule; classical quasi-primary; decomposi...
