Abstract

A sequential effect algebra (E,0,1,,)(E,0,1, \oplus, \circ) is an effect algebra on which a sequential product \circ with certain physics properties is defined, in particular, sequential effect algebra is an important model for studying quantum measurement theory. In 2005, Gudder asked the following problem: If a,b(E,0,1,,)a, b\in (E,0,1,\oplus, \circ) and aba\bot b and ababa\circ b\bot a\circ b, is it the case that 2(ab)a2b22(a\circ b)\leq a^2\oplus b^2 ? In this paper, we construct an example to answer the problem negatively.
