The purpose of this paper is to outline a new approach to the classii-cation of nitely generated indecomposable modules over certain kinds of pullback rings. If R is the pullback of two hereditary noetherian serial rings over a common semi{simple artinian ring, then this classiication can be divided into the classiica-tion of indecomposable artinian modules and those modules over the coordinate...

A new characteristic property of von Neumann regular rings is proposed in terms of annihilators of elements. An ELT fully idempotent ring is a regular ring whose simple left (or right) modules are either injective or projective. Artinian rings are characterized in terms of Noetherian rings. Strongly regular rings and rings whose two-sided ideals are generated by central idempotents are characte...

We study the stable attractors of a class of continuous dynamical systems that may be idealized as networks of Boolean elements, with the goal of determining which Boolean attractors, if any, are good approximations of the attractors of generic continuous systems. We investigate the dynamics in simple rings and rings with one additional self-input. An analysis of switching characteristics and p...
