Last lecture we covered matroid intersection, and defined matroid union. In this lecture we review the definitions of matroid intersection, and then show that the matroid intersection polytope is TDI. This is Chapter 41 in Schrijver’s book. Next we review matroid union, and show that unlike matroid intersection, the union of two matroids is again a matroid. This material is largely contained in...

This paper focuses on the relationship between an $L$-subset and the system of level-elements induced by it, where the underlying lattice $L$ is a complete residuated lattice and the domain set of $L$-subset is an $L$-partially ordered set $(X,P)$. Firstly, we obtain the sufficient and necessary condition that an $L$-subset is represented by its system of level-elements. Then, a new representat...

The minimal prime decomposition for semiprime ideals is defined and studied on z-ideals of C(X). The necessary and sufficient condition for existence of the minimal prime decomposition of a z-ideal / is given, when / satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) / is an intersection of maximal ideals. (ii) I is an intersection of O , s, when X is basically disconnected. (iii) I=O , when x X h...

the class of ads modules with the sip (briefly‎, ‎$sa$-modules) is studied‎. ‎various conditions for a module to be $sa$-module are given‎. ‎it is proved that for a quasi-continuous module $m$‎, ‎$m$ is a uc-module if and only if $m$ is an $sa$-module‎. ‎also‎, ‎it is proved that the direct sum of two $sa$-modules as $r$-modules is an $sa$-module when $r$ is the sum of the annihilators of these...
