Algebraic properties of Indigenous semirings

In this paper, we introduce Indigenous semirings and show that they are examples of information algebras. We also attribute a graph to them and discuss their diameters, girths, and clique numbers. On the other hand, we prove that the Zariski topology of any Indigenous semiring is the Sierpiński space. Next, we investigate their algebraic properties (including ideal theory). In the last section, we characterize units and idempotent elements of formal power series over Indigenous semirings.

Classical semirings

In this paper, we investigate semirings whose elements are either units or zero-divisors (nilpotents) with many examples. While comparing these semirings with their counterparts in ring theory, we observe that their behavior is different in many cases.

On Hardy's Apology Numbers

Twelve well known `Recreational' numbers are generalized and classified in three generalized types Hardy, Dudeney, and Wells. A novel proof method to limit the search for the numbers is exemplified for each of the types. Combinatorial operators are defined to ease programming the search.
