A Sharp Bound for the Minimal Number of Generators of Perfect Height Two Ideals.
1. Introduction. In this note we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral domain to be a principal ideal domain. Curiously, these conditions are similar to those that characterize Euclidean domains. In Section 2 we establish notation, discuss related results and prove our theorem. Finally, in Section 3 we give two nontrivial applications to real quadratic number fields.
The aim of this note is to give an alternative proof of uniqueness for the decomposition of a finitely generated torsion module over a P.I.D. (= principal ideal domain) as a direct sum of indecomposable submodules.Our proof tries to mimic as far as we can the standard procedures used when dealing with vector spaces.For the sake of completeness we also include a proof of the existence theorem.
We give a short proof of a counterexample (due to Daigle and Freudenburg) to Hilbert's fourteenth problem in dimension five.
In Computer Algebra, Subresultant Theory provides a powerful method to construct algorithms solving problems for polynomials in one variable in an optimal way. So, using this method we can compute the greatest common divisor of two polynomials in one variable with integer coefficients avoiding the exponential growth of the coefficients that will appear if we use the Euclidean Algorithm.In this note, generalizing a forgotten construction appearing in [Hab], we extend the Subresultant Theory to the...
We survey counterexamples to Hilbert’s Fourteenth Problem, beginning with those of Nagata in the late 1950s, and including recent counterexamples in low dimension constructed with locally nilpotent derivations. Historical framework and pertinent references are provided. We also include 8 important open questions.
A module for conflict detection in A-SMGCS is presented. It supervises the operations that the ground controller has to perform. It doesn?t depend on the topology of the terminal area. The system guarantees the safety of the proposed situation, that is, the impossibility that a conflict arises among aircrafts (and also road vehicles) obeying the signaling. We suppose that the terminal area has stop bars (or semaphores) controlling all intersections and accesses between runways, taxiways, exits,...
