We study the problem of when the collection of the recession cones of a polyhedral complex forms also a complex. We exhibit an example showing that this is no always the case. We also show that if the support of the given polyhedral complex satisfies a Minkowski-Weyl type condition, then the answer is positive. As a consequence, we obtain a classification theorem for proper toric schemes over a...

Let M2 be the semigroup of linear endomorphisms of a plane. We show that the space of idempotents in M2 is a hyperboloid of one sheet, the set of semigroup-theoretic inverses of a nonzero singular element in M2 is a hyperbolic paraboloid, and the set of nilpotent elements in M2 is a right circular cone. This is the story of the rediscovery of classical three-dimensional geometry, especially the...

We define the length of a semigroup presentation and related ideas. Theoretical results and bounds are presented, gained while investigating the lengths of groups defined by semigroup presentations. Minimal length semigroup presentations are obtained in certain cases. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20F05, 20M05

Let S be a finite semigroup. In this paper we introduce the functions φs : S ∗ → S, first defined by Rhodes, given by φs([a1, a2, . . . , an]) = [sa1, sa1a2, . . . , sa1a2 · · · an]. We show that if S is a finite aperiodic semigroup, then the semigroup generated by the functions {φs}s∈S is finite and aperiodic.

For strongly continuous semigroups on a Hilbert space, we present a short proof of the fact that the left-inverse of a left-invertible semigroup can be chosen to be a semigroup as well. Furthermore, we show that this semigroup need not to be unique.

In this paper we have introduced fuzzy quasi-ideal and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals in LA-semigroup. We have proved some results related to fuzzy quasi-ideals and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals of an LA-semigroup. Further we characterize an intra-regular LA-semigroup by the properties of their fuzzy ideals.

We propose an authentication scheme where forgery (a.k.a. impersonation) seems infeasible without finding the prover’s long-term private key. The latter is equivalent to solving the conjugacy search problem in the platform (noncommutative) semigroup, i.e., to recovering X from X−1AX and A. The platform semigroup that we suggest here is the semigroup of n×n matrices over truncated multivariable ...

and Applied Analysis 3 It is an interesting problem to extend the above results to a strongly continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings and a strongly continuous semigroup of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. Let S be a strongly continuous semigroup of nonexpansive self-mappings. In 1998 Shioji and Takahashi 11 introduced, in Hilbert space, the implicit iteration

Let G be a semigroup of rational functions of degree at least two where the semigroup operation is composition of functions. We prove that the largest open subset of the Riemann sphere on which the semigroup G is normal and is completely invariant under each element of G, can have only 0, 1, 2, or infinitely many components.
