Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ be an ideal of $A$ and $sigma$ be a semi-prime operation, different from the identity map on the set of all ideals of $A$. Results of Essan proved that the sets of associated prime ideals of $sigma(I^n)$, which denoted by $Ass(A/sigma(I^n))$, stabilize to $A_{sigma}(I)$. We give some properties of the sets $S^{sigma}_{n}(I)=Ass(A/sigma(I^n))setminus A_{sigma}(I...
