In this paper, first, we answer affirmatively an open problem which was presented in 2005 by professor Gudder on the sub-sequential effect algebras. That is, we prove that if $(E,0,1, \oplus, \circ)$ is a sequential effect algebra and $A$…

Let $E$ be an effect algebra and $E_S$ be the set of all sharp elements of $E$. $E$ is said to be sharply dominating if for each $a\in E$ there exists a smallest element $\widehat{a}\in E_s$ such that $a\leq \widehat{a}$. In 2002,…

We say that a C*-algebra X has the approximate n-th root property (n\geq 2) if for every a\in X with ||a||\leq 1 and every \epsilon>0 there exits b\in X such that ||b||\leq 1 and ||a-b^n||<\epsilon. Some properties of commutative and…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

Square root is a useful tool to study the properties of (ordered) algebraic structures. In this article, we are going to employ this tool to study hoop algebras. To do so, we define square root and make the first attempt to explore the…

A sequential effect algebra $(E,0,1, \oplus, \circ)$ 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…

Suppose that we are given a formal power series of many variables with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) and we want to compute its $n$-th (multiplicative) root. As can be expected coefficients of the root have to satisfy a…

A commutative order in a quaternion algebra is called selective if it is embeds into some, but not all, the maximal orders in the algebra. It is known that a given quadratic order over a number field can be selective in at most one…

An iterative square root of a function $f$ is a function $g$ such that $g(g(\cdot))=f(\cdot)$. We obtain new characterizations for detecting the non-existence of such square roots for self-maps on arbitrary sets. This is used to prove that…

We investigate finite effect algebras and their classification. We show that an effect algebra with $n$ elements has at least $n-2$ and at most $(n-1)(n-2)/2$ nontrivial defined sums. We characterize finite effect algebras with these…

A sequential effect algebra (SEA) is an effect algebra on which a sequential product is defined. We present examples of effect algebras that admit a unique, many and no sequential product. Some general theorems concerning unique sequential…

Finding the $n$-th positive square number is easy, as it is simply $n^2$. But how do we find the complementary sequence, i.e., the $n$-th positive non-square number? For this case there is an explicit formula. However, for general…

Previously we observed that newforms obey a strict bias towards root number $+1$ in squarefree levels: at least half of the newforms in $S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ with root number $+1$ for $N$ squarefree, and it is strictly more than half outside…

A synaptic algebra is a common generalization of several ordered algebraic structures based on algebras of self-adjoint operators, including the self-adjoint part of an AW*-algebra. In this paper we prove that a synaptic algebra A has the…

The aim of this paper is to show that there can be either only one or uncountably many contexts in any spectral effect algebra, answering a question posed in [S. Gudder, Convex and Sequential Effect Algebras, (2018), arXiv:1802.01265]. We…

We give two elementary proofs, at a level understandable by students with only pre-calculus knowledge of Algebra, of the well known fact that an irreducible irrational n-th root of a positive rational number cannot be solution of a…

A quantum effect is an operator on a complex Hilbert space $H$ that satisfies $0\leq A\leq I$. We denote the set of all quantum effects by ${\cal E}(H)$. In this paper we prove, Theorem 4.3, on the theory of sequential product on ${\cal…

In this note, we study the problem of existence of sequences of consecutive 1's in the periodic part of the continued fractions expansions of square roots of primes. We prove unconditionally that, for a given $N\gg 1$, there are at least…

By some extremely simple arguments, we point out the following: (i) If n is the least positive k-th power non-residue modulo a positive integer m, then the greatest number of consecutive k-th power residues mod m is smaller than m/n. (ii)…

The subject matter of this work is quadratic and cubic polynomial functions with integer coefficients;and all of whose roots are integers. The material of this work is directed primarily at educators,students,and teachers of…
