Abstract: In this paper, first, we answer affirmatively an open problem which was presented in 2005 by professor Gudder on the sub-sequential effect algebras. That is, we prove that if $(E,0,1,oplus,circ)$ is a sequential effect algebra and $A$ is a commutative subset of $E$, then the sub-sequential effect algebra $$ generated by $A$ is also commutative. Next, we also study the following uniqueness problem: If $na=nb=c$ for some positive integer $ngeq2$, then under what conditions $a=b$ hold? We prove that if $c$ is a sharp element of $E$ and $a|b$, then $a=b$. We give also two examples to show that neither of the above two conditions can be discarded.

Review text

\textit{S. Gudder} [Int. J. Theor. Phys. 44, No.~12, 2199--2206 (2005; Zbl 1110.81014)] put a question if the subalgebra of a sequential effect algebra generated by a commutative subset is itself commutative. Using standard algebraic constructions, the authors demonstrate in the paper under review that the answer to the question is positive. Another theorem says that, in a sequential effect algebra, the equality \(na=nb=c\) with \(n\geq 2\) implies that \(a=b\) whenever \(a\) and \(b\) commute and \(c\) is sharp. It is shown by examples that neither of the three assumptions in the latter theorem can be discarded.
