A well-known theorem which goes back to R. E. Johnson [4], asserts that if R is a ring then Q(R), its maximal ring of quotients is regular (in the sense of v. Neumann) if and only if the singular ideal of R vanishes. In the theory of semigroups a natural question is therefore the following: Do there exist properties which characterize those semigroups whose maximal semigroups of quotients are regular? Partial answers to this question have been given in [3], [7] and [8]. In this paper we completely solve the commutative case, i.e. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a commutative semigroup S in order that Q(S), the maximal semigroup of quotients, is regular. These conditions reflect very closely the property of being semiprime, which in the theory of commutative rings characterizes those rings which have a regular ring of quotients.

AbstractThis paper deals with the solvability of systems of linear operator equations in a linear space. Namely, the paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the operators under which certain kinds of systems of operator equations are solvable.

Let denote the contracted semigroup ring of the ompletely 0-simple semigroup D over the ring R. The Rees structure theory of completely 0-simple semigroups is used to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions that have zero radical (Theorem 3.8). By using Amitsur's construction of the upper π-radical [1], we are able to treat the Jacobson, Baer (prime), Levitzki (locally nilpotent) and possibly the nil radicals simultaneously. Our results generalize a theorem of Munn [6] on semigroup algebras of finite 0-simple semigroups.

AbstractLet Σ be a commutative semigroup of continuous endomorphisms of the r-dimensional torus. Generalizing a result of Furstenberg dealing with the circle group, necessary and sufficient conditions are given here for Σ to possess the following property: Any Σ-minimal set consists of torsion elements. Semigroups not having this property are shown to admit minimal sets of positive Hausdorff dimension.

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative semigroup in order that it should have a maximal homomorphic image of one of the following types: (1) groups, (2) semigroups which are unions of groups and (3) pseudoinvertible semigroups, i. e. semigroups having the property that some power of each element lies in a subgroup of the semigroup.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

The study of the differential-algebraic boundary value problems, traditional for the Kiev school of nonlinear oscillations, founded by academicians M.M. Krylov, M.M. Bogolyubov, Yu.A. Mitropolsky and A.M. Samoilenko. It was founded in the 19th century in the works of G. Kirchhoff and K. Weierstrass and developed in the 20th century by M.M. Luzin, F.R. Gantmacher, A.M. Tikhonov, A. Rutkas, Yu.D. Shlapac, S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, O.A. Boichuk, V.P. Yacovets, C.W. Gear and others. In the works of S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko and V.P. Yakovets were obtained sufficient conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form and the structure of the general solution of the degenerate linear system was obtained. Assuming that the conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form were satisfied, O.A.~Boichuk obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and constructed a generalized Green operator of this problem. Based on this, later O.A. Boichuk and O.O. Pokutnyi obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problem, the linear part of which is a Noetherian differential algebraic boundary value problem. Thus, out of the scope of the research, the cases of dependence of the desired solution on an arbitrary continuous function were left, which are typical for the linear differential-algebraic system. Our article is devoted to the study of just such a case. The article uses the original necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and the construction of the generalized Green operator of this problem, constructed by S.M. Chuiko. Based on this, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary value problem were obtained. A typical feature of the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear and weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary-value problem is its dependence on the means of fixing of the arbitrary continuous function. An improved classification and a convergent iterative scheme for finding approximations to the solutions of weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problems was constructed in the article.
