Maximal ideals in near-rings and semigroups


Henry E. Heatherly
Ralph P. Tucci

Abstract

This paper gives conditions that guarantee that a
near-ring or a semi-group has maximal right, left, or two-sided ideals.
Stronger results are obtained for those semigroups
which are adjoint semigroups
of rings. Examples are given which illustrate and delimit the theory developed.
