Characterizations of fuzzy ideals of a pseudo-BCK algebra are established. Conditions for a fuzzy set to be a fuzzy ideal are given. Given a fuzzy set μ, the least fuzzy ideal containing μ is constructed. The homomorphic properties of fuzzy ideals of a pseudoBCK algebra are provided. Finally, characterizations of Noetherian pseudo-BCK algebras and Artinian pseudo-BCK algebras via fuzzy ideals a...

Based on the Buşneag’s model ([2, 3, 4]), the notion of pseudovaluations (valuations) on a BE-algebra is introduced, and a pseudometric is induced by a pseudo-valuation on BE-algebras. Related properties are investigated, and conditions for a real-valued function on a BE-algebra to be a pseudo-valuation are discussed. Using the notion of (pseudo) valuation, we show that the binary operation in ...

The goal of this paper is to describe, in as much detail as possible, the structure of the algebra of differential invariants of a Lie pseudo-group. Under the assumption of local freeness of the prolonged pseudo-group action, we develop algorithms for locating a finite generating set of differential invariants, establishing the recurrence relations for the differentiated invariants, and fixing ...

Swine producers in the United States who are looking for lower cost structures in which to raise pigs have increasingly turned to so-called hoop barns or hooped shelters as facilities in which to house grow-finish swine. Hoop barns have been rapidly adopted. For example, by 2001, Iowa farmers had erected more than 2,100 hoop barns for finishing pigs. Hoop barns can be used successfully to finis...

In this paper, for any non-empty subset C of a pseudo BCI-algebra X, the concept of p-closure of C, denoted by C(pc), is introduced and some related properties are investigated. Applying this concept, a characterization of the minimal elements of X is given. It is proved that C(pc) is the least closed pseudo BCI-ideal of X containing C and K(X) for any ideal C of X...

The conjugacy problem for the pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of a compact surface is studied. To each pseudo-Anosov automorphism φ, we assign an AF -algebra Aφ (an operator algebra). It is proved that the assignment is functorial, i.e. every φ, conjugate to φ, maps to an AF algebra Aφ′ , which is stably isomorphic to Aφ. The new invariants of the conjugacy of the pseudo-Anosov automorphisms are ob...

Let $f : A rightarrow B$ be a ring homomorphism and $J$ an ideal of $B$. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the amalgamated algebra along an ideal $Abowtie^fJ$ to be $J$-Noetherian. Then we give a characterization for pseudo-irreducible ideals of $Abowtie^fJ$, in special cases.
