Upper bounds for the length of non-associative algebras (Q2333388)

Let \(A\) be a unital finite dimensional non-associative algebra and \(S\) a finite set of elements of \(A\). Suppose that \(L(S^i)\) is a span of all products of \(i\) elements from \(S\). Assuming that the unit element belongs to \(S\) we can suppose that \(L(S^i)\) is an increasing family of subspaces in \(A\). Let \(S\) be a generating set of the algebra \(A\). Then there exists a minimal positive integer \(i=l(S)\) such that \(L(S^i)=A\). The topic of the paper is to consider the length of \(A\) which is defined as \(\sup_Sl(S)\). If \(\dim A=n>2\) then \(l(A)\le 2^{n-2}\). There is found an upper bound of the length of \(A\) in the case of locally complex algebra in terms of Fibonacci numbers.
