Abstract

Let EE be an effect algebra and ESE_S be the set of all sharp elements of EE. EE is said to be sharply dominating if for each aEa\in E there exists a smallest element a^Es\widehat{a}\in E_s such that aa^a\leq \widehat{a}. In 2002, Professors Gudder and Greechie proved that each σ\sigma-sequential effect algebra is sharply dominating. In 2005, Professor Gudder presented 25 open problems in International Journal of Theoretical Physics, Vol. 44, 2199-2205, the 3th problem asked: Is each sequential effect algebra sharply dominating? Now, we construct an example to answer the problem negatively.
