A sequence $s(n)$ of integers is MC-finite if for every $m \in \mathbb{N}^+$ the sequence $s^m(n) = s(n) \bmod{m}$ is ultimately periodic. We discuss various ways of proving and disproving MC-finiteness. Our examples are mostly taken from…

A semiring $S$ which is a union of rings is called completely regular, if moreover, it is orthodox then $S$ is called an orthoring. Here we study the orthorings $S$ such that $E^+(S)$ is a band semiring. Every band semiring is a spined…

We study maximal sublattices of finite semidistributive lattices via their complements. We focus on the conjecture that such complements are always intervals, which is known to be true for bounded lattices. Since the class of…

A fundamental theorem of linear algebra asserts that every basis for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ has $n$ elements. In this expository note we present a theorem of W. G. Leavitt describing one way in which this invariant basis number…

Let $L$ denote a finite lattice with at least two points and let $A$ denote the incidence algebra of $L$. We prove that $L$ is distributive if and only if $A$ is an Auslander regular ring, which gives a homological characterisation of…

For any semiring, the concept of k-congruences is introduced, criteria for k-congruences are established, it is proved that there is an inclusion-preserving bijection between k-congruences and k-ideals, and an equivalent condition for the…

For a modular lattice $L$ of finite length, we prove that the distributivity of $L$ is a sufficient condition while its 2-distributivity is a necessary condition that those sublattices of $L$ that are closed under taking relative…

We study lattices in free abelian groups of infinite rank that are invariant under the action of the infinite symmetric group, with emphasis on finiteness of their equivariant bases. Our framework provides a new method for proving…

Many problems in optimization theory are strongly nonlinear in the traditional sense but possess a hidden linear structure over suitable idempotent semirings. After an overview of `Idempotent Mathematics' with an emphasis on matrix theory,…

The book is devoted to investigation of arithmetic of the matrix rings over certain classes of commutative finitely generated principal ideals domains. We mainly concentrate on constructing of the matrix factorization theory. We reveal a…

In this article, we define the concept of an $S$-$k$-irreducible ideal and $S$-$k$-maximal ideal in a commutative semiring. We also establish several results concerning $S$-$k$-primary ideals and prove the existence theorem and the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field of order $q$. In this article, we study $\det S$ for certain types of subsets $S$ in the ring $M_2(\mathbb F_q)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb F_q$. For $i\in \mathbb{F}_q$,…

We show that if the ground set of a matroid can be partitioned into $k\ge 2$ bases, then for any given subset $S$ of the ground set, there is a partition into $k$ bases such that the sizes of the intersections of the bases with $S$ may…

We investigate different notions of linear independence and of matrix rank that are relevant for max-plus or tropical semirings. The factor rank and tropical rank have already received attention, we compare them with the ranks defined in…

We prove an identity for five arguments, valid in the lattice of natural numbers with gcd and lcm as lattice operations. More generally, this identity characterizes arbitrary distributive lattices. Fixing three of the five arguments, we…

We consider the scattering matrices of massive quantum field theories with no bound states and a global $O(N)$ symmetry in two spacetime dimensions. In particular we explore the space of two-to-two S-matrices of particles of mass $m$…

Exactly integrable systems connected to semisimple algebras of second rank with an arbitrary choice of grading are presented in explicit form. General solutions of these systems are expressed in terms of matrix elements of two fundamental…

In this paper we deal with the following problem: how does the structure of a finite semigroup $S$ depend on the probability that two elements selected at random from $S$, with replacement, define the same inner right translation of $S$. We…

In this paper, a question due to Heckenberger, Shareshian and Welker on racks in [7] is positively answered. A rack is a set together with a selfdistributive bijective binary operation. We show that the lattice of subracks of every finite…
