Let SH denote the homothety class generated by a convex set S ⊂ R: SH = {a + λS | a ∈ R, λ > 0}. We determine conditions for the Minkowski sum BH + CH or the Minkowski difference BH ∼ CH of homothety classes BH and CH generated by closed convex sets B,C ⊂ R to lie in a homothety class generated by a closed convex set (more generally, in the union of countably many homothety classes generated by...

If X is an n-element set, we call a family G ⊂ PX a k-generator for X if every x ⊂ X can be expressed as a union of at most k disjoint sets in G. Frein, Lévêque and Sebő [10] conjectured that for n > 2k, the smallest k-generators for X are obtained by taking a partition of X into classes of sizes as equal as possible, and taking the union of the power-sets of the classes. We prove this conjectu...

let $r$ be an associative ring and let $m$ be a left $r$-module.let $spec_{r}(m)$ be the collection of all prime submodules of $m$ (equipped with classical zariski topology). there is a conjecture which says that every irreducible closed subset of $spec_{r}(m)$ has a generic point. in this article we give an affirmative answer to this conjecture and show that if $m$ has a noetherian spectrum, t...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new classes of soft closed sets like soft regular generalized b-closed sets in soft topological spaces (briefly soft rgb-closed set) Moreover, soft rg-closed, soft gpr-closed, soft gb-closed, soft gsp-closed, soft g$alpha$-closed, soft g$alpha$b-closed, and soft sgb-closed sets in soft topological spaces are introduced in this paper and w...

The direct sum of two term rewriting systems is the union of systems having disjoint sets of function symbols. It is shown that the direct sum of two term rewriting systems is not terminating, even if these systems are both terminating. Keyword: Term rewriting system, termination Introduction A term rewriting system R is a set of rewriting rules M → N , where M and N are terms [1, 3, 5]. The di...

Let $R$ be an associative ring and let $M$ be a left $R$-module.Let $Spec_{R}(M)$ be the collection of all prime submodules of $M$ (equipped with classical Zariski topology). There is a conjecture which says that every irreducible closed subset of $Spec_{R}(M)$ has a generic point. In this article we give an affirmative answer to this conjecture and show that if $M$ has a Noetherian spectrum, t...

Let K be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic p, let N ∈ N, let Φ : Gm −→ Gm be a self-map defined over K, let V ⊂ Gm be a curve defined over K, and let α ∈ Gm(K). We show that the set S = {n ∈ N : Φn(α) ∈ V } is a union of finitely many arithmetic progressions, along with a finite set and finitely many p-arithmetic sequences, which are sets of the form {a+ bpkn : n ∈ N} for so...
