The cardinality of the minimal generating set of a module M i.e g(M) plays a very important role in the study of QTAG-Modules. Fuchs [1] mentioned the importance of upper and lower basic subgroups of primary groups. A need was felt to generalize these concepts for modules. An upper basic submodule B of a QTAG-Module M reveals much more information about the structure of M . We find that each ba...

primary-like and weakly primary-like submodules are two new generalizations of primary ideals from rings to modules. in fact, the class of primary-like submodules of a module lie between primary submodules and weakly primary-like submodules properly.  in this note, we show that these three classes coincide when their elements are submodules of a multiplication module and satisfy the primeful pr...

The notion of the square submodule of a module M over an arbitrary commutative ring R, which is denoted by RM, was introduced by Aghdam and Najafizadeh in [3]. In fact, RM is the R−submodule of M generated by the images of all bilinear maps on M. Furthermore, given a submodule N of an R−module M, we say that M is nil modulo N if μ(M×M) ≤ N for all bilinear maps μ on M. The main question about t...

Suppose that is an innnite set and k is a natural number. Let ] k denote the set of all k-subsets of and let F be a eld. In this paper we study the FSym(()-submodule structure of the permutation module F] k. Using the representation theory of nite symmetric groups, we show that every submodule of F] k can be written as an intersection of kernels of certain FSym(()-homomorphisms F] k ?! F] l for...

Submodule construction is the problem of finding a new submodule which, together with a given submodule, provides a behavior that conforms to a given desired global behavior. A new formulation of this problem and its solution in first-order logic is presented, and it is shown how the known solutions to this problem in the context of various communication paradigms and specification formalisms c...

An R-module A is called GF-regular if, for each a ∈ A and r ∈ R, there exist t ∈ R and a positive integer n such that r(n)tr(n)a = r(n)a. We proved that each unitary R-module A contains a unique maximal GF-regular submodule, which we denoted by M GF(A). Furthermore, the radical properties of A are investigated; we proved that if A is an R-module and K is a submodule of A, then MGF(K) = K∩M GF(A...

Top-down design methodology is one of the widely used approaches to the design of complex concurrent systems. In this approach, the speciication of a system is decomposed into a set of submodules whose concurrent behavior is equivalent to that of the system speciication. The following problem is of particular importance when using this methodology: given the speciication of a system and some of...

In a finite-dimensional vector space, every subspace is finite-dimensional and the dimension of a subspace is at most the dimension of the whole space. Unfortunately, the naive analogue of this for modules and submodules is wrong: (1) A submodule of a finitely generated module need not be finitely generated. (2) Even if a submodule of a finitely generated module is finitely generated, the minim...
