Special dual like numbers and lattices (Q2918653)

A theory of special dual like numbers is presented. Every special dual like number \(x\) is written in the form \(x=a+b\,g\), where \((a,b)\in \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\) and the new element \(g\) is idempotent, i.e. \(g^2=g\). The main properties of such numbers and many examples are included in Chapter 2. A generalization of special dual like numbers called higher dimensional special dual like numbers are introduced in Chapter 3. The next chapter is devoted to the dual like neutrosophic numbers in which the pair \((a,b)\) belongs to \(\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}\), \(\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}\) or \(\mathbb{Z}_{n}\times\mathbb{Z}_{n}\). Other generalizations of special dual like numbers called mixed dual numbers are considered in Chapter 5. More exactly, mixed dual numbers are constructed by the use of dual numbers and special dual like numbers. Some remarks about possible applications of such kind of numbers are discussed in Chapter 6. The text concludes with a list of unsolved problems. The book is intended to mathematicians whose research interests are in the area of algebraic structures.
