In this paper we consider the problem of determining when an algebra of formal power series over a commutative ring R is the homomorphic image of a reduced incidence algebra P(R, ∽). The question of when two such algebras are isomorphic is answered in Section 8 of [1]. A slight generalization of their notion of full binomial type is introduced here.Section 1 contains background material together writh a summary of the results of [1]. In Section 2 we present the desired characterization, and to conclude an application appears in Section 3. In Section 3 the tools of Section 2 are used to derive an equation of R. W. Robinson and R. P. Stanley which counts labelled, acyclic digraphs.

In this paper, for R a commutative ring, with identity, of characteristic p, we look at the group G(R) of formal power series with coefficients in R, of the formand the group operation being substitution. The results obtained give the exponent of the quotient groups Gn(R) of this group, n∈ℕ.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity. R[[x]] denotes the ring of formal power series, in which we consider the composition ○, defined by f(x)○g(x)=f(g(x)). This operation is well defined in the subring R+[[x]] of formal power series of positive order. The algebra= 〈R+[[x]], ○〉 is learly a semigroup, which is not commutative for ∣R∣>1. In this paper we consider all those commutative subsemigroups of , which consist of power series of all positive orders, which are called ‘permutable chains’.

In this paper we are concerned with the group of formal power series of the form,the coefficients being elements of a commutative ring R and the group operation being substitution. Little seems to be known of the properties of groups of this type, except in special cases, although groups of formal power series in several variables with complex coefficients have been investigated from a different point of view by Bochner and Martin (1, chap. I) and Gotô (2).

It is well known that a polynomial [Formula: see text] over a commutative ring [Formula: see text] with identity is a zero-divisor in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] has a non-zero annihilator in the base ring, where [Formula: see text] is the polynomial ring with indeterminate [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. But this result fails in non-commutative rings and in the case of formal power series ring. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining some annihilator properties of the formal power series ring [Formula: see text] over an associative non-commutative ring [Formula: see text]. We investigate relations between power series-wise McCoy property and other standard ring-theoretic properties. In this context, we consider right zip rings, right strongly [Formula: see text] rings and rings with right Property [Formula: see text]. We give a generalization (in the case of non-commutative ring) of a classical results related to the annihilator of formal power series rings over the commutative Noetherian rings. We also give a partial answer, in the case of formal power series ring, to the question posed in [1 Question, p. 16].

Let A be a commutative ring with unit. We characterize when A is nonnil-Noetherian in terms of the quotient ring A/ Nil(A) and in terms of the power series ring A[[X]].

Almkvist proved that for a commutative ring A the characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism α : P → P of a finitely generated projective A-module determines (P, α) up to extensions. For a non-commutative ring A the generalized characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism of an endomorphism α : P → P of a finitely generated projective A-module is defined to be the Whitehead torsion [1 − xα] ∈ K1(A[[x]]), which is an equivalence class of formal power series with constant coefficient 1.The paper gives an example of a non-commutative ring A and an endomorphism α : P → P for which the generalized characteristic polynomial does not determine (P, α) up to extensions. The phenomenon is traced back to the non-injectivity of the natural map [sum ]−1A[x] → A[[x]] where [sum ]−1A[x] is the Cohn localization of A[x] inverting the set [sum ] of matrices in A[x] sent to an invertible matrix by A[x] → A;x [map ] 0.

We discuss the determination of the radius of the total graph of a commutative ring R in the case when this graph is connected. Typical extensions such as polynomial rings, formal power series, idealization of the R-module M and relations between the total graph of the ring R and its extensions are also dealt with.
