An element in a ring $R$ is called clear if it is the sum of unit-regular element and unit. An associative ring is clear if every its element is clear. In this paper we defined clear rings and extended many results to wider class. Finally,…

Much work has been done on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, namely $\tau$-factorization. There has also been substantial progress made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. This…

A pair $(C, D)$ of group codes over group algebra $R[G]$ is called a linear complementary pair (LCP) if $C \oplus D =R[G]$, where $R$ is a finite principal ideal ring, and $G$ is a finite group. We provide a necessary and sufficient…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $g(t) \in R[t]$ a monic polynomial. The commutative ring of polynomials $f(C_g)$ in the companion matrix $C_g$ of $g(t)$, where $f(t)\in R[t]$, is called the Companion Ring of $g(t)$. Special instances…

In this article we introduce the study of the number of pairs of non-comparable elements in a distributive lattice $\L$. We give several tight lower and upper bounds for the number and give as an application the lattices precisely for which…

It is well known that not every summability property for non linear operators leads to a factorization theorem. In this paper we undertake a detailed study of factorization schemes for summing linear and nonlinear operators. Our aim is to…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…

The van der Laan-Padovan sequence $P_n ~ (n=0, 1, \ldots)$ is defined by $P_0=1, P_1=P_2=0$, and $P_{n+3}=P_{n+1}+P_n$ for $n=0, 1, \ldots$. We determine all pairs $(P_m, P_n)$ satisfying $P_m^b=2^{g_1} 3^{g_2} 5^{g_3} 7^{g_4} P_n^a$ for…

In this paper we show that if $I$ is an ideal of a commutative semigroup $C$ such that the separator $SepI$ of $I$ is not empty then the factor semigroup $S=C/P_I$ ($P_I$ is the principal congruence on $C$ defined by $I$) satisfies…
