Clifford semifields

Mridul K. Sen, Sunil K. Maity, Kar-Ping Shum (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

It is well known that a semigroup S is a Clifford semigroup if and only if S is a strong semilattice of groups. We have recently extended this important result from semigroups to semirings by showing that a semiring S is a Clifford semiring if and only if S is a strong distributive lattice of skew-rings. In this paper, we introduce the notions of Clifford semidomain and Clifford semifield. Some structure theorems for these semirings are obtained.

Completely positive matrices over Boolean algebras and their CP-rank

Preeti Mohindru (2015)

Special Matrices

Drew, Johnson and Loewy conjectured that for n ≥ 4, the CP-rank of every n × n completely positive real matrix is at most [n2/4]. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for n × n completely positive matrices over Boolean algebras (finite or infinite). In addition,we formulate various CP-rank inequalities of completely positive matrices over special semirings using semiring homomorphisms.
