In the last few years many results have appeared which deal with questions of how various algebraic properties of the symmetric elements of a ring with involution, or the subring they generate, affect the structure of the whole ring. If the ring has an identity, similar questions may be posed by making assumptions about the symmetric units or subgroup they generate. Little seems to be known about the special units which exist in rings with involution, although several questions of importance have existed for some time. For example, given a simple ring with appropriate additional assumptions, is the unitary group essentially simple? Also, what can be said about the structure of subspaces invariant under conjugation by all unitary or symmetric units (see [7])?

A theorem of Marshall Osborn [15] states that a simple ring with involution of characteristic not 2 in which every non-zero symmetric element is invertible must be a division ring or the 2 × 2 matrices over a field. This result has been generalized in several directions. IfRis semi-simple and every symmetric element (or skew, or trace) is invertible or nilpotent, thenRmust be a division ring, the 2 × 2 matrices over a field, or the direct sum of a division ring and its opposite [6; 8; 13; 16].

We study several algebraic properties of dual covariance and weighted dual covariance sets in rings with involution andC*-algebras. Moreover, we show that the weighted dual covariance set, seen as a multivalued map, has some kind of continuity. Also, we prove weighed dual covariance set invariant under the bijection multiplicative*-functions.

Let R be a simple ring, of characteristic not 2, having an involution *. Let 5 = ﹛x G R|x* = x﹜ and K = ﹛x £ R|x* = — x﹜ be the set of symmetric and skew elements, respectively, of R.In [1] we discuss the structure of S as a Jordan ring and K as a Lie ring. In [2] we considered cross-over submodules, namely additive subgroups U ⊂ K, V ⊂ S such that

This paper proves the sandwich classification conjecture for subgroups of an even dimensional hyperbolic unitary group [Formula: see text] which are normalized by the elementary subgroup [Formula: see text], under the condition that R is a quasi-finite ring with involution, i.e., a direct limit of module finite rings with involution, and [Formula: see text].

SummaryThe mathematical basis of Zelen’s suggestion [4] of pre randomizing patients in a clinical trial and then asking them for their consent is investigated. The first problem is to estimate the therapy and selection effects. In the simple prerandomized design (PRD) this is possible without any problems. Similar observations have been made by Anbar [1] and McHugh [3]. However, for the double PRD additional assumptions are needed in order to render therapy and selection effects estimable. The second problem is to determine the distribution of the statistics. It has to be taken into consideration that the sample sizes are random variables in the PRDs. This is why the distribution of the statistics can only be determined asymptotically, even under the assumption of normal distribution. The behaviour of the statistics for small samples is investigated by means of simulations, where the statistics considered in the present paper are compared with the statistics suggested by Ihm [2]. It turns out that the statistics suggested in [2] may lead to anticonservative decisions, whereas the “canonical statistics” suggested by Zelen [4] and considered in the present paper keep the level quite well or may lead to slightly conservative decisions, if there are considerable selection effects.

Abstract In this paper, we apply the concept of fuzzy sets to Novikov algebras, and introduce the concepts of L-fuzzy ideals and L-fuzzy subalgebras. We get a sufficient and neccessary condition such that an L-fuzzy subspace is an L-fuzzy ideal. Moreover, we show that the quotient algebra A/μ of the L-fuzzy ideal μ is isomorphic to the algebra A/Aμ of the non-fuzzy ideal Aμ. Finally, we discuss the algebraic properties of surjective homomorphic image and preimage of an L-fuzzy ideal.

AbstractWe revisit the linear Cournot model with uncertain demand that is studied in Lagerlöf (2006. “Equilibrium Uniqueness in a Cournot Model with Demand Uncertainty.” The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics 6, no. 1. (Topics), Article 19: 1–6.) and provide sufficient conditions for equilibrium uniqueness that complement the existing results. We show that if the distribution of the demand intercept has the decreasing mean residual demand (DMRD) or the increasing generalized failure rate (IGFR) property, then uniqueness of equilibrium is guaranteed. The DMRD condition implies log-concavity of the expected profits per unit of output without additional assumptions on the existence or the shape of the density of the demand intercept and, hence, answers in the affirmative the conjecture of Lagerlöf (2006. “Equilibrium Uniqueness in a Cournot Model with Demand Uncertainty.” The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics 6, no. 1. (Topics), Article 19: 1–6.) that such conditions may not be necessary.

Abstract In this paper we consider several constructions which from a given 𝐵-product *𝐵 lead to another one . We shall be interested in finding what algebraic properties of the ring 𝑅𝐵 = 〈𝐶ℕ, +, *𝐵〉 are shared also by the ring . In particular, for some constructions the rings 𝑅𝐵 and will be isomorphic and therefore have the same algebraic properties.
