Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Increasing attention is being paid to the numerous applications of algebra in both combinatorics and theoretical computer science. The scope of this research is quite heterogeneous, even if in the last years’ various studies contributed to the introduction of innovative approaches and led to the attempt of providing a more unifying and axiomatic paradigm of investigation and, moreover, yielded some generalizations of methodologies applicable to a priori unrelated research fields.

In this Special Issue, we want to outline a broad research field where algebra may be applied (without being limited) to various scopes, such as Rough Set Theory, Fuzzy Set Theory, Graph Theory, Algebraic Combinatorics, Automata Theory and so on. Moreover, works on computational algebra or on other related applications are welcome. We invite high-quality original research papers, as well as survey papers related to the topic of this Special Issue.

The aims of the present Special Issue consist of:

  • Bringing together researchers and experts in different research areas;
  • Fostering the sharing of different approaches of analysis;
  • Promoting a profitable exchange of ideas;
  • Developing new emerging research areas.

Prof. Dr. Federico G. Infusino

Let A be a prime *-algebra. A product defined as UV=UV+VU for any U,VA, is called a bi-skew Jordan product. A map ξ:AA, defined as ξpnU1,U2,,Un=k=1npnU1,U2,...,Uk1,ξ(Uk),Uk+1,,Un for all U1,U2,...,UnA, is called a non-linear bi-skew Jordan n-derivation. In this article, it is shown that ξ is an additive ∗-derivation. Full article

In the given study, we intended to gain familiarity with the idea of fuzzy Hom–Lie subalgebras (ideals) of Hom–Lie algebras. It primarily seeks to study a few of their properties. This research investigates the relationship between fuzzy Hom–Lie subalgebras (ideals) and Hom–Lie subalgebras (ideals). Additionally, this study constructs new fuzzy Hom–Lie subalgebras based on the direct sum of a finite number of existing ones. Finally, the properties of fuzzy Hom–Lie subalgebras and fuzzy Hom–Lie ideals are examined in the context of the morphisms of Hom–Lie algebras. Full article

Group actions are a valuable tool for investigating the symmetry and automorphism features of rings. The concept of fuzzy ideals in rings has been expanded with the introduction of fuzzy primary, weak primary, and semiprimary ideals. This paper explores the existence of fuzzy ideals that are semiprimary but neither weak primary nor primary. Furthermore, it defines a group action on a fuzzy ideal and examines the properties of fuzzy ideals and their level cuts under this group action. In fact, it aims to investigate the relationship between fuzzy semiprimary ideals and the radical of fuzzy ideals under group action. Additionally, it includes the results related to the radical of fuzzy ideals and fuzzy G-semiprimary ideals. Moreover, the preservation of the image and inverse image of a fuzzy G-semiprimary ideal of a ring R under certain conditions is also studied. It delves into the algebraic nature of fuzzy ideals and the radical under G-homomorphism of fuzzy ideals. Full article

The question is still open as to whether there exist infinitely many Fermat primes or infinitely many composite Fermat numbers. The same question concerning Mersenne numbers is also unanswered. Extending some recent results of Megrelishvili and the author, we characterize the Fermat primes and the Mersenne primes in terms of the topological minimality of some matrix groups. This is achieved by showing, among other things, that if F is a subfield of a local field of characteristic 2, then the special upper triangular group ST+(n,F) is minimal precisely when the special linear group SL(n,F) is. We provide criteria for the minimality (and total minimality) of SL(n,F) and ST+(n,F), where F is a subfield of C. Let Fπ and Fc be the set of Fermat primes and the set of composite Fermat numbers, respectively. As our main result, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent for A{Fπ,Fc}: A is finite; FnASL(Fn1,Q(i)) is minimal, where Q(i) is the Gaussian rational field; and FnAST+(Fn1,Q(i)) is minimal. Similarly, denote by Mπ and Mc the set of Mersenne primes and the set of composite Mersenne numbers, respectively, and let B{Mπ,Mc}. Then the following conditions are equivalent: B is finite; MpBSL(Mp+1,Q(i)) is minimal; and MpBST+(Mp+1,Q(i)) is minimal. Full article

Presently, there is a method based on Power Geometry that allows one to find asymptotic forms and asymptotic expansions of solutions to different kinds of non-linear equations near their singularities. The method contains three algorithms: (1) Reducing the equation to its normal form, (2) separating truncated equations, and (3) power transformations of coordinates. Here, we describe the method for the simplest case, a single algebraic equation, and apply it to an algebraic variety, as described by an algebraic equation of order 12 in three variables. The variety was considered in study of Einstein’s metrics and has several singular points and singular curves. Near some of them, we compute a local parametric expansion of the variety. Full article

Let p3 be any prime. In this paper, we compute symbol-pair distance of all γ-constacyclic codes of length 3ps over the finite commutative chain ring R=Fpm+uFpm, where γ is a unit of R which is not a cube in Fpm. We give the necessary and sufficient condition for a symbol-pair γ-constacyclic code to be an MDS symbol-pair code. Using that, we provide all MDS symbol-pair γ-constacyclic codes of length 3ps over R. Some examples of the symbol-pair distance of γ-constacyclic codes of length 3ps over R are provided. Full article

In this paper, we explore Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 4 for the function σ0(n), counting the positive divisors of n. We consider relations of the form σ08(αn+β)+r0(mod4), with (α,β)N2 and r{1,3,5,7}. In this context, some conjectures are made and some Ramanujan-type congruences involving overpartitions are obtained. Full article
