1 Introduction

Steinfeld [1ndash3] introduced the notion of a quasi-ideal forsemigroups and rings Since then this notion has been thesubject of great attention of many researchers and conse-quently a series of interesting results have been published byextending the notion of quasi-ideals to Γ-semigroupsordered semigroups ternary semigroups semirings Γ-semi-rings regular rings near-rings and many other differentalgebraic structures [4ndash15]

It is a widely known fact that the notion of a one-sidedideal of rings and semigroups is a generalization of the notionof an ideal of rings and semigroups and the notion of a quasi-ideal of semigroups and rings is a generalization of a one-sided ideal of semigroups and rings In fact the concept ofordered semigroups and Γ-semigroups is a generalization ofsemigroups Also the ordered Γ-semigroup is a generalizationof Γ-semigroups So the concept of ordered quasi-ideals ofordered semigroups is a generalization of the concept ofquasi-ideals of semigroups In the same way the notion ofan ordered quasi-ideal of ordered semigroups is a general-ization of a one-sided ordered ideal of ordered semigroupsDue to these motivating facts it is naturally significant togeneralize the results of semigroups to Γ-semigroups and ofΓ-semigroups to ordered Γ-semigroups

In 1998 the concept of an ordered quasi-ideal in orderedsemigroups was introduced by Kehayopulu [16] He stud-ied theory of ordered semigroups based on ordered idealsanalogous to the theory of semigroups based on idealsThe concept of po-Γ-semigroup was introduced by Kwonand Lee in 1996 [17] and since then it has been studiedby several authors [18ndash22]Our purpose in this paper is toexamine many important classical results of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals in ordered Γ-semigroups and then to characterizethe regular ordered Γ-semigroups through ordered quasi-Γ-ideals ordered bi-Γ-ideals and ordered one-sided Γ-ideals

2 Preliminaries

We note here some basic definitions and results that arerelevant for our subsequent results

Let 119878 and Γ be two nonempty sets Then 119878 is called a Γ-semigroup if 119878 satisfies (119886120574119887)120583119888 = 119886120574(119887120583119888) for all 119886 119887 119888 isin 119878

and 120574 120583 isin Γ A nonempty subset 119873 of a Γ-semigroup 119878 iscalled a sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878 if 119886120572119887 isin 119873 for all 119886 119887 isin 119873 and120572 isin Γ For any nonempty subsets 119860 119861 of 119878 119860Γ119861 = 119886120572119887

119886 isin 119860 119887 isin 119861 and 120572 isin Γ We also denote 119886Γ119861 119860Γ119887 and119886Γ119887 respectively by 119886Γ119861 119860Γ119887 and 119886Γ119887 Many classicalresults of semigroups have been generalized and extendedto Γ-semigroups [23ndash25] By an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878

2 Algebra

(also called po-Γ-semigroups) wemean an ordered set (119878 le)at the same time a Γ-semigroup satisfying the following con-ditions

Throughout this paper 119878 will stand for an ordered Γ-semigroup unless otherwise stated An ordered Γ-semigroup119878 is called regular if for each 119904 isin 119878 and for each 120572 120573 isin Γ thereexists 119886 isin 119878 such that 119904 le 119904120572119886120573119904 Equivalent definitions ofregular ordered Γ-semigroup are as follows (i) 119860 sube (119860Γ119878Γ119860]

for each119860 sube 119878 and (ii) 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] for each 119904 isin 119878 Let (119878 le) bean ordered Γ-semigroup and119873 a sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878 then(119873 le) is an ordered Γ-semigroup Let119860 be a nonempty subsetof119873 Then similarly to [26] we write (119860]

119873= 119899 isin 119873 119899 le 119886

for some 119886 isin 119860 and 119860 cup 119886 = 119860 cup 119886 We also write (119860]119873

by simply (119860] if 119873 = 119878 (see [27]) A nonempty subset 119868 ofan ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is called an ordered right-Γ-ideal(left-Γ-ideal) of 119878 if 119868Γ119878 sube 119868(119878Γ119868 sube 119868) and for any 119909 isin 119868(119909] sube 119868 119868 is called an ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 if it is both a leftand a right Γ-ideals of 119878 Also for any 119904 isin 119878 we have that (119878Γ119904]is an ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 and (119904Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal of 119878 [18] A nonempty subset 119876 of 119878 is called an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 if (i) (119876Γ119878] cap (119878Γ119876] sube 119876 and (ii) (119876] sube 119876A sub-Γ-semigroup 119861 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is calledan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 if 119861Γ119878Γ119861 sube 119861 and for any 119909 isin 119861(119909] sube 119861

Let119883 be a nonempty subset of 119878Then the least right (left)ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119883 is given by 119877(119883) = (119883 cup

119883Γ119878](119871(119883) = (119878Γ119883 cup 119883]) If 119883 = 119904 119904 isin 119878 we write 119877119904and 119871119904 respectively by 119877(119904) and 119871(119904) and 119877(119904) = (119904 cup 119904Γ119878]119871(119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] and the ideal generated by 119904 isin 119878 is given by119868(119904) = (119904 cup 119878Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878 cup 119878Γ119904Γ119878] Also the least quasi-Γ-ideal of119878 containing 119883 is denoted by 119876(119883) Moreover we willl needsome notations as follows (i)119873

119876= 119876 119876 = 0 where 119876 sube 119878

and (119876] sube 119876 (ii) 119877119868is a set of ordered right Γ-ideals of 119878

(iii) 119871119868is a set of ordered left Γ-ideals of 119878 and (iv) 119868

119879is a

two-sided Γ-ideal of 119878Now for any two elements 119876

1 1198762isin 119873119876 we define an

operation lowast in119873119876as follows

1198761lowast Γ lowast 119876

2= (1198761Γ1198762] (2)

Further let 119873 be a sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878 Then we caneasily observe here the following (see [16 18 21 28ndash30])

(i) 119860 sube (119860]119873sube (119860] = ((119860]] for 119860 sube 119873

(ii) for 119860 sube 119873 and 119861 sube 119873 we have (119860 cup 119861] = (119860] cup (119861](iii) for 119860 sube 119873 and 119861 sube 119873 we have (119860 cap 119861] sube (119860] cap (119861](iv) for 119886 and 119887 isin 119873 with 119886 le 119887 we have (119886Γ119873] sube (119887Γ119873]

119860 cup 119861 are also ideals of 119878(viii) for any 119904 isin 119878 (119878Γ119904Γ119878] is an ideal of 119878

3 Ordered Γ-Semigroups and OrderedQuasi-Γ-Ideals

In this section we study some classical properties of theordered Γ-semigroup 119878 We start with the following lemma

Lemma 1 Let 119878 be an ordered Γ-semigroup Then

(i) (119873119876 lowast sube) is an ordered Γ-semigroup

(ii) (119871119868 lowast sube) (119877

119868 lowast sube) and (119868

119879 lowast sube) are sub-Γ-semi-

groups of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Proof (i) Suppose 119875 119876 119877 isin 119873119876 Since 119875Γ119876 isin (119875Γ119876] we

obtain ((119875Γ119876)Γ119877] sube ((119875Γ119876]Γ119877] Next we have (119875 lowast Γ lowast 119876) lowastΓlowast119877 = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] by using (119875lowastΓlowast119876)lowastΓlowast119877 = (119875Γ119876]lowastΓlowast119877 =

((119875Γ119876]Γ119877] sube ((119875Γ119876)Γ119877] = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] In a similar way wecan show that 119875 lowast Γ lowast (119876 lowast Γ lowast 119877) = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] and therefore(119875 lowast Γ lowast 119876) lowast Γ lowast 119877 = 119875 lowast Γ lowast (119876 lowast Γ lowast 119877) Hence (119873

119876 lowast) is

a Γ-semigroup Suppose 119875 sube 119876 Then 119875 lowast Γ lowast 119877 = (119875Γ119876] sube

(119876Γ119877] = 119876lowastΓlowast119877 and119877lowastΓlowast119875 = (119877Γ119875] sube (119877Γ119876] = 119877lowastΓlowast119876Hence (119873

119876 lowast sube) is an ordered Γ-semigroup

(ii) We have that 119871119868 119877119868 and 119868

119879are nonempty subsets of

119873119876 Suppose 119871

1 1198712isin 119871119868 Then obviously we have (119871

1lowast Γ lowast

1198712] = ((119871

1Γ1198712]] = (119871

1Γ1198712] Moreover using

119878Γ (1198711lowast Γ lowast 119871

2) = 119878Γ (119871

1Γ1198712]

sube (119878Γ (1198711Γ1198712]]

sube ((119878Γ1198711) Γ1198712]

sube (1198711Γ1198712]

= 1198711lowast Γ lowast 119871

we infer that1198711lowastΓlowast119871

2is a left Γ-ideal of 119878 that is119871

1lowastΓlowast119871

2isin

119871119868 Thus (119871

119868 lowast sube) is a sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

119876 lowast sube)

Dually we can prove that (119877119868 lowast sube) is a sub-Γ-semigroup

of (119873119876 lowast sube) Since 119868

119879= 119871119868cap 119877119868 it follows that (119868

119879 lowast sube) is a

sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Let 119876119868= 119876 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then

obviously we have 119871119868cup 119877119868sube 119876119868sube 119873119876 This implies that

every one-sided Γ-ideal of an ordered Γ-semigroup is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Thus the class of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of 119878 is ageneralization of the class of one-sided ordered Γ-ideals of 119878

Lemma 2 Each ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Proof Proof is straightforward In fact we have119876Γ119876 sube 119876Γ119878cap

119878Γ119876 sube (119876Γ119878] cap (119878Γ119876] sube 119876

Lemma 3 For every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 and an orderedleft Γ-ideal 119871 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 119877 cap 119871 is an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof As 119877Γ119871 sube 119878Γ119871 sube 119871 and 119877Γ119871 sube 119877Γ119878 sube 119877 we obtain119877Γ119871 sube 119877 cap 119871 so 119877 cap 119871 = 0 Now the fact that 119877 cap 119871 is anordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 follows from the following

(i) (119877 cap 119871] sube (119877] cap (119871] sube 119877 cap 119871

Algebra 3

(ii) ((119877cap119871)Γ119878]cap(119878Γ(119877cap119871)] sube (119877Γ119878]cap(119878Γ119871] sube (119877]cap(119871] sube119877 cap 119871

Lemma 4 Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then oneobtains 119876 = 119871(119876) cap 119877(119876) = (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878]

Proof The following relation

119876 sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] is obvious (4)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] Then119886 le 119887 or 119886 le 119909120572119906 and 119886 le V120573119910 for some 119887 119906 V isin 119876 119909 119910 isin 119878and 120572 120573 isin Γ As119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 the formercase implies that 119886 isin (119876] sube 119876 and the latter case implies that119886 isin (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube 119876 Therefore (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] =

119876

We recall here that if 119883 is a nonempty subset of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 then we write the least quasi-ideal of119878 containing119883 by 119876(119883) If119883 = 119886 we write 119876(119886) by 119876(119886)

Theorem 5 Suppose 119878 is an ordered Γ-semigroup Then onehas the following

(i) for every 119904 isin 119878 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup

119904Γ119878](ii) let 0 =119883 sube 119878 119876(119883) = 119871(119883) cap 119877(119883) = (119878Γ119883 cup 119883] cap

(119883 cup 119883Γ119878]

Proof of (i) Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Using Lemma 3 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) is aquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119904 therefore 119876(119904) sube 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)and by Lemma 4 we obtain

119871 (119904) cap 119877 (119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup 119904Γ119878]

sube (119878Γ119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904)] cap (119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904) Γ119878]

= 119876 (119904)

(5)

Hence 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)

Proof of (ii) Its proof can be given as (i)

The notion of a bi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroups is a gener-alization of the notion of a quasi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroupsSimilarly the class of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups is a particular case of the class of ordered bi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups This is what we have shownin the following result

Theorem 6 Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 and 119876 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 then 119876is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof Since 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 and 119876 sube 119868 weobtain

119876Γ119876 sube 119876Γ119878Γ119868

Therefore

119876Γ119878Γ119876 sube (119868 cap (119868Γ119876]) cap (119868 cap (119876Γ119868])

Hence applying these facts together with Lemma 2 we haveshown that 119876 is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lemma 7 Let 119878 be an ordered Γ-semigroup Then the orderedsub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

119876 lowast) generated by (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) is

in the following form

⟨119871119868cup 119877119868⟩ = 119871

Theorem 8 Let 119878 be an ordered Γ-semigroupThen the follow-ing assertions on 119878 are equivalent

(i) 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup(ii) For every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right

Γ-ideal 119877 one has

(119877Γ119871] = 119877 cap 119871 (10)

(iii) For every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 and ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878

(1) (119877Γ119877] = 119877(2) (119871Γ119871] = 119871(3) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) (119871119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) are ordered idempotent Γ-semi-

groups and (119876119868 lowast) is the sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

semigroup (119873119876 lowast)

(vi) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 is given by 119876 =

(119876Γ119878Γ119876](vii) (119876

119868 lowast sube) is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of the ordered

Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Proof (i) rArr (ii) Suppose 119877 and 119871 are ordered right and leftΓ-ideals of 119878 respectively then we have

(119877Γ119871] sube 119877 cap 119871 (11)

Let 119878 be regular we need to prove only that 119877 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119871]Suppose 119886 isin 119877cap119871 Since 119878 is regular we obtain 119886 le 119886120572119909120573119886 forsome 119909 isin 119878 and 120572 120573 isin Γ and so 119886 isin 119877 and 119909120572119886 isin 119871 therefore119886120572119909120573119886 isin 119877Γ119871 Therefore 119886 isin (119877Γ119871] and thus 119877cap119871 sube (119877Γ119871]

(ii) rArr (iii) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 thatfollows directly from Lemma 3 and the condition (ii) As theordered two-sided Γ-ideal of 119878 is generated by 119877 = (119877cup 119878Γ119877]the condition (ii) implies that

119877 = 119877 cap (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] = (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]]

therefore (119877Γ119877] sube (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] = 119877(12)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119877Γ(119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] Then 119886 le 119903120572119887 for119903 isin 119877 and 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] From 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] we have119887 le 119888 where 119888 = 119903

10158401015840 for some 119904 isin 119878 and11990310158401015840isin 119877 Therefore 119886 le 119903120572119888 = 119903120572119903

10158401015840isin 119877Γ119877 for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ thus 119886 isin (119877Γ119877]

Thus 119877 sube (119877Γ119877] so that (119877Γ119877] = 119877 Similarly we can provethat (119871Γ119871] = 119871 dually

(iii) rArr (iv)The conditions (1) (2) in (iii) and Lemma 7show that (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) are idempotent Γ-semigroups

respectively Applying (iii) (3) we obtain 119877119868lowast Γ lowast 119871

119868sube 119876119868

therefore ⟨119871119868cup 119877119868⟩ sube 119876

119868in (119873119876 lowast)

Conversely suppose 119876 isin 119876119868 Then (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] is the

ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 generated by 119876 The condition (iii)(2) implies that

119876 sube (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] = ((119876 cup 119878Γ119876] Γ (119876 cup 119878Γ119876]]

(13)

We can dually prove that 119876 sube (119876Γ119878] Therefore usingthese facts and Lemma 4 it follows that

(a) 119876 sube (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] = 119876

(14)

Therefore for 119876 isin 119876119868 we have 119876 = (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] and the

condition (iii) (3) together with (a) implies that

(b) (119877Γ119871] = (119878Γ (119877Γ119871]] cap ((119877Γ119871] Γ119878]

(15)

Moreover by the assertion (iii) (2) we have 119878 = (119878Γ119878] and

(119878Γ119876] = ((119878Γ119876]2]

= ((119878Γ119876] Γ (119878Γ119876]] = ((119878Γ119876] Γ ((119878Γ119878] Γ119876]]

Therefore (119878Γ119876] = (119878Γ((119876Γ119878]Γ(119878Γ119876]]] Dually we canprove that

From these facts (a) and (b) we obtain

sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] = 119876

(21)

and therefore 119876 = (119876Γ119878Γ119876](vi) rArr (vii) It is straightforward(vii) rArr (i) For every 119904 isin 119878 usingTheorem 5 119877(119904) cap 119871(119904)

is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119904 By (vii) thereexists 119876 isin 119876

119878so that

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904) sube (119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)) lowast Γ lowast 119876 lowast Γ lowast (119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904))

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

(22)

Hence 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup

Lemma 9 Every two-sided ordered Γ-ideal 119868 of a regularordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Proof Suppose 119894 isin 119868 As 119878 is regular there exists 119904 isin 119878 so thatfor 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin Γ we have

119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894120574119904120575119894 = 119894120572 (119904120573119894120574119904) 120575119894 (23)

As 119904120572119894120573119904 isin 119878Γ119868Γ119878 sube 119868 we observe that 119894 isin (119894Γ119868Γ119894]119868

Theorem10 Suppose 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroupThenthe following statements are true

(i) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 can be expressed asfollows

119876 = 119877 cap 119871 = (119877Γ119871] (24)

where 119877 and 119871 are respectively the ordered right andleft Γ-ideals of 119878 generated by 119876

(ii) Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then (119876Γ119876] =(119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(iii) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of any ordered two sided-Γ-ideal of 119878 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(v) For every 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868and 119877

1 1198772isin 119877119868 one obtains

1198711cap 1198712sube (1198711Γ1198712]

1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772]

(25)

Proof Because 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup then byLemma 4 and Theorem 8 the statement (i) is done Since(119876Γ119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876] is always true we need to show that(119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876] We have that (119876Γ119876] is also an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 by Theorem 8 Moreover we have thefollowing equation

(119876Γ119876] = (119876Γ119876Γ119878Γ119876Γ119876]

= (119876Γ (119876Γ119878Γ119876) Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(26)

Suppose 1198761is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then (119878Γ119876

1] is

an ordered left Γ-ideal and (1198761Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal

of 119878 ApplyingTheorem 8 we obtain

(119878Γ1198761] cap (119876

1Γ119878] = ((119876

1Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876

1]]

sube (1198761Γ119878Γ1198761] sube (119876

1] sube 1198761

(27)

Therefore 1198761is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 and 119861 is anordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119868 By the relation (iii) and Lemma 9 119861 isan ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 therefore usingTheorem 6 119861 isan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Also from the relation (iii) againwe obtain 119861 as an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lastly suppose 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868 Because 119878 is regular and

1198711cap 1198712is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 using Theorem 8

we obtain

1198711cap 1198712= ((119871

1cap 1198712) Γ119878Γ (119871

1cap 1198712)]

sube (1198711Γ (119878Γ119871

2)] sube (119871

1Γ1198712]

(28)

Dually we can prove that 1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772] for all 119877

1198772isin 119877119868

Theorem 11 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 one has

119861 cap 119868 cap 119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] (29)

6 Algebra

Proof Let 119878 be regularThen for any 119886 isin 119861cap119868cap119876 there exists119904 isin 119878 such that

119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574119904120575 (119886120572119904120573119886)

= (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574 (119904120572119886120573119904) 120575119886 isin (119861Γ119861) Γ (119878Γ119868Γ119878) Γ119876

sube 119861Γ119868Γ119876

(30)

Hence 119886 isin (119861Γ119868Γ119876] where 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin ΓConversely let 119861cap 119868 cap119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] for every ordered bi-

Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Let 119861(119904) and 119876(119904) be theordered bi-Γ-ideal and ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 generatedby 119904 respectively So we have the following

119904 isin 119861 (119904) cap 119868 (119904) cap 119876 (119904)

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup (119878Γ119904 cap 119904Γ119878)]]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]] sube (119904Γ119878Γ119904]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)

Throughout this paper 119878 will stand for an ordered Γ-semigroup unless otherwise stated An ordered Γ-semigroup119878 is called regular if for each 119904 isin 119878 and for each 120572 120573 isin Γ thereexists 119886 isin 119878 such that 119904 le 119904120572119886120573119904 Equivalent definitions ofregular ordered Γ-semigroup are as follows (i) 119860 sube (119860Γ119878Γ119860]

by simply (119860] if 119873 = 119878 (see [27]) A nonempty subset 119868 ofan ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is called an ordered right-Γ-ideal(left-Γ-ideal) of 119878 if 119868Γ119878 sube 119868(119878Γ119868 sube 119868) and for any 119909 isin 119868(119909] sube 119868 119868 is called an ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 if it is both a leftand a right Γ-ideals of 119878 Also for any 119904 isin 119878 we have that (119878Γ119904]is an ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 and (119904Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal of 119878 [18] A nonempty subset 119876 of 119878 is called an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 if (i) (119876Γ119878] cap (119878Γ119876] sube 119876 and (ii) (119876] sube 119876A sub-Γ-semigroup 119861 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is calledan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 if 119861Γ119878Γ119861 sube 119861 and for any 119909 isin 119861(119909] sube 119861

Let119883 be a nonempty subset of 119878Then the least right (left)ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119883 is given by 119877(119883) = (119883 cup

3 Ordered Γ-Semigroups and OrderedQuasi-Γ-Ideals

In this section we study some classical properties of theordered Γ-semigroup 119878 We start with the following lemma

Lemma 1 Let 119878 be an ordered Γ-semigroup Then

(i) (119873119876 lowast sube) is an ordered Γ-semigroup

(ii) (119871119868 lowast sube) (119877

119868 lowast sube) and (119868

119879 lowast sube) are sub-Γ-semi-

groups of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Proof (i) Suppose 119875 119876 119877 isin 119873119876 Since 119875Γ119876 isin (119875Γ119876] we

obtain ((119875Γ119876)Γ119877] sube ((119875Γ119876]Γ119877] Next we have (119875 lowast Γ lowast 119876) lowastΓlowast119877 = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] by using (119875lowastΓlowast119876)lowastΓlowast119877 = (119875Γ119876]lowastΓlowast119877 =

((119875Γ119876]Γ119877] sube ((119875Γ119876)Γ119877] = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] In a similar way wecan show that 119875 lowast Γ lowast (119876 lowast Γ lowast 119877) = (119875Γ119876Γ119877] and therefore(119875 lowast Γ lowast 119876) lowast Γ lowast 119877 = 119875 lowast Γ lowast (119876 lowast Γ lowast 119877) Hence (119873

119876 lowast) is

a Γ-semigroup Suppose 119875 sube 119876 Then 119875 lowast Γ lowast 119877 = (119875Γ119876] sube

(119876Γ119877] = 119876lowastΓlowast119877 and119877lowastΓlowast119875 = (119877Γ119875] sube (119877Γ119876] = 119877lowastΓlowast119876Hence (119873

119876 lowast sube) is an ordered Γ-semigroup

(ii) We have that 119871119868 119877119868 and 119868

119879are nonempty subsets of

119873119876 Suppose 119871

1 1198712isin 119871119868 Then obviously we have (119871

1lowast Γ lowast

1198712] = ((119871

1Γ1198712]] = (119871

1Γ1198712] Moreover using

119878Γ (1198711lowast Γ lowast 119871

2) = 119878Γ (119871

1Γ1198712]

sube (119878Γ (1198711Γ1198712]]

sube ((119878Γ1198711) Γ1198712]

sube (1198711Γ1198712]

= 1198711lowast Γ lowast 119871

(3)

we infer that1198711lowastΓlowast119871

2is a left Γ-ideal of 119878 that is119871

1lowastΓlowast119871

2isin

119871119868 Thus (119871

119868 lowast sube) is a sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

119876 lowast sube)

Dually we can prove that (119877119868 lowast sube) is a sub-Γ-semigroup

of (119873119876 lowast sube) Since 119868

119879= 119871119868cap 119877119868 it follows that (119868

119879 lowast sube) is a

sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Let 119876119868= 119876 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then

obviously we have 119871119868cup 119877119868sube 119876119868sube 119873119876 This implies that

every one-sided Γ-ideal of an ordered Γ-semigroup is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Thus the class of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of 119878 is ageneralization of the class of one-sided ordered Γ-ideals of 119878

Lemma 2 Each ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Proof Proof is straightforward In fact we have119876Γ119876 sube 119876Γ119878cap

119878Γ119876 sube (119876Γ119878] cap (119878Γ119876] sube 119876

Lemma 3 For every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 and an orderedleft Γ-ideal 119871 of an ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 119877 cap 119871 is an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof As 119877Γ119871 sube 119878Γ119871 sube 119871 and 119877Γ119871 sube 119877Γ119878 sube 119877 we obtain119877Γ119871 sube 119877 cap 119871 so 119877 cap 119871 = 0 Now the fact that 119877 cap 119871 is anordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 follows from the following

(i) (119877 cap 119871] sube (119877] cap (119871] sube 119877 cap 119871

Algebra 3

(ii) ((119877cap119871)Γ119878]cap(119878Γ(119877cap119871)] sube (119877Γ119878]cap(119878Γ119871] sube (119877]cap(119871] sube119877 cap 119871

Lemma 4 Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then oneobtains 119876 = 119871(119876) cap 119877(119876) = (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878]

Proof The following relation

119876 sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] is obvious (4)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] Then119886 le 119887 or 119886 le 119909120572119906 and 119886 le V120573119910 for some 119887 119906 V isin 119876 119909 119910 isin 119878and 120572 120573 isin Γ As119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 the formercase implies that 119886 isin (119876] sube 119876 and the latter case implies that119886 isin (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube 119876 Therefore (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] =

119876

We recall here that if 119883 is a nonempty subset of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 then we write the least quasi-ideal of119878 containing119883 by 119876(119883) If119883 = 119886 we write 119876(119886) by 119876(119886)

Theorem 5 Suppose 119878 is an ordered Γ-semigroup Then onehas the following

(i) for every 119904 isin 119878 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup

119904Γ119878](ii) let 0 =119883 sube 119878 119876(119883) = 119871(119883) cap 119877(119883) = (119878Γ119883 cup 119883] cap

(119883 cup 119883Γ119878]

Proof of (i) Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Using Lemma 3 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) is aquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119904 therefore 119876(119904) sube 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)and by Lemma 4 we obtain

119871 (119904) cap 119877 (119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup 119904Γ119878]

sube (119878Γ119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904)] cap (119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904) Γ119878]

= 119876 (119904)

(5)

Hence 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)

Proof of (ii) Its proof can be given as (i)

The notion of a bi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroups is a gener-alization of the notion of a quasi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroupsSimilarly the class of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups is a particular case of the class of ordered bi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups This is what we have shownin the following result

Theorem 6 Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 and 119876 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 then 119876is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof Since 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 and 119876 sube 119868 weobtain

119876Γ119876 sube 119876Γ119878Γ119868

= 119876Γ (119878Γ119868) sube 119876Γ119868

sube (119868Γ119878] sube (119868] sube 119868

(6)

and 119902 isin (119876] rArrThere exists 1199021isin 119876 sube 119868 such that 119902 le 119902

1rArr

119902 isin (119868] = 119868 and 119902 isin (119876] rArr 119902 isin 119868 cap (119876] = (119876]119868sube 119876

Therefore

119876Γ119878Γ119876 sube (119868 cap (119868Γ119876]) cap (119868 cap (119876Γ119868])

(7)

Hence applying these facts together with Lemma 2 we haveshown that 119876 is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof (i) rArr (ii) Suppose 119877 and 119871 are ordered right and leftΓ-ideals of 119878 respectively then we have

(119877Γ119871] sube 119877 cap 119871 (11)

Let 119878 be regular we need to prove only that 119877 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119871]Suppose 119886 isin 119877cap119871 Since 119878 is regular we obtain 119886 le 119886120572119909120573119886 forsome 119909 isin 119878 and 120572 120573 isin Γ and so 119886 isin 119877 and 119909120572119886 isin 119871 therefore119886120572119909120573119886 isin 119877Γ119871 Therefore 119886 isin (119877Γ119871] and thus 119877cap119871 sube (119877Γ119871]

(ii) rArr (iii) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 thatfollows directly from Lemma 3 and the condition (ii) As theordered two-sided Γ-ideal of 119878 is generated by 119877 = (119877cup 119878Γ119877]the condition (ii) implies that

119877 = 119877 cap (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] = (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]]

therefore (119877Γ119877] sube (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] = 119877(12)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119877Γ(119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] Then 119886 le 119903120572119887 for119903 isin 119877 and 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] From 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] we have119887 le 119888 where 119888 = 119903

10158401015840isin 119877Γ119877 for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ thus 119886 isin (119877Γ119877]

Thus 119877 sube (119877Γ119877] so that (119877Γ119877] = 119877 Similarly we can provethat (119871Γ119871] = 119871 dually

(iii) rArr (iv)The conditions (1) (2) in (iii) and Lemma 7show that (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

respectively Applying (iii) (3) we obtain 119877119868lowast Γ lowast 119871

Conversely suppose 119876 isin 119876119868 Then (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] is the

ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 generated by 119876 The condition (iii)(2) implies that

119876 sube (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] = ((119876 cup 119878Γ119876] Γ (119876 cup 119878Γ119876]]

(13)

We can dually prove that 119876 sube (119876Γ119878] Therefore usingthese facts and Lemma 4 it follows that

(14)

Therefore for 119876 isin 119876119868 we have 119876 = (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] and the

condition (iii) (3) together with (a) implies that

(15)

Moreover by the assertion (iii) (2) we have 119878 = (119878Γ119878] and

(119878Γ119876] = ((119878Γ119876]2]

Therefore (119878Γ119876] = (119878Γ((119876Γ119878]Γ(119878Γ119876]]] Dually we canprove that

From these facts (a) and (b) we obtain

Hence 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup

Lemma 9 Every two-sided ordered Γ-ideal 119868 of a regularordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Theorem10 Suppose 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroupThenthe following statements are true

(i) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 can be expressed asfollows

where 119877 and 119871 are respectively the ordered right andleft Γ-ideals of 119878 generated by 119876

(iii) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of any ordered two sided-Γ-ideal of 119878 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof Because 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup then byLemma 4 and Theorem 8 the statement (i) is done Since(119876Γ119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876] is always true we need to show that(119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876] We have that (119876Γ119876] is also an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 by Theorem 8 Moreover we have thefollowing equation

Suppose 1198761is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then (119878Γ119876

an ordered left Γ-ideal and (1198761Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal

of 119878 ApplyingTheorem 8 we obtain

Therefore 1198761is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 and 119861 is anordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119868 By the relation (iii) and Lemma 9 119861 isan ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 therefore usingTheorem 6 119861 isan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Also from the relation (iii) againwe obtain 119861 as an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lastly suppose 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868 Because 119878 is regular and

1198711cap 1198712is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 using Theorem 8

we obtain

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup (119878Γ119904 cap 119904Γ119878)]]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)

Lemma 4 Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then oneobtains 119876 = 119871(119876) cap 119877(119876) = (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878]

Proof The following relation

119876 sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] is obvious (4)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] Then119886 le 119887 or 119886 le 119909120572119906 and 119886 le V120573119910 for some 119887 119906 V isin 119876 119909 119910 isin 119878and 120572 120573 isin Γ As119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 the formercase implies that 119886 isin (119876] sube 119876 and the latter case implies that119886 isin (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube 119876 Therefore (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] =

119876

We recall here that if 119883 is a nonempty subset of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 then we write the least quasi-ideal of119878 containing119883 by 119876(119883) If119883 = 119886 we write 119876(119886) by 119876(119886)

Theorem 5 Suppose 119878 is an ordered Γ-semigroup Then onehas the following

(i) for every 119904 isin 119878 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup

119904Γ119878](ii) let 0 =119883 sube 119878 119876(119883) = 119871(119883) cap 119877(119883) = (119878Γ119883 cup 119883] cap

(119883 cup 119883Γ119878]

Proof of (i) Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Using Lemma 3 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904) is aquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119904 therefore 119876(119904) sube 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)and by Lemma 4 we obtain

119871 (119904) cap 119877 (119904) = (119878Γ119904 cup 119904] cap (119904 cup 119904Γ119878]

sube (119878Γ119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904)] cap (119876 (119904) cup 119876 (119904) Γ119878]

= 119876 (119904)

(5)

Hence 119876(119904) = 119871(119904) cap 119877(119904)

Proof of (ii) Its proof can be given as (i)

The notion of a bi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroups is a gener-alization of the notion of a quasi-Γ-ideal of Γ-semigroupsSimilarly the class of ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups is a particular case of the class of ordered bi-Γ-ideals of ordered Γ-semigroups This is what we have shownin the following result

Theorem 6 Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of anordered Γ-semigroup 119878 and 119876 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 then 119876is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof Since 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 and 119876 sube 119868 weobtain

119876Γ119876 sube 119876Γ119878Γ119868

119902 isin (119868] = 119868 and 119902 isin (119876] rArr 119902 isin 119868 cap (119876] = (119876]119868sube 119876

Therefore

119876Γ119878Γ119876 sube (119868 cap (119868Γ119876]) cap (119868 cap (119876Γ119868])

(7)

Hence applying these facts together with Lemma 2 we haveshown that 119876 is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878

4 Regular Ordered Γ-Semigroups andOrdered Quasi-Γ-Ideals

In this section we use the concept of ordered quasi-Γ-idealsto characterize regular ordered Γ-semigroups

Lemma 7 Let 119878 be an ordered Γ-semigroup Then the orderedsub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

119876 lowast) generated by (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) is

in the following form

⟨119871119868cup 119877119868⟩ = 119871

Proof (i) rArr (ii) Suppose 119877 and 119871 are ordered right and leftΓ-ideals of 119878 respectively then we have

(119877Γ119871] sube 119877 cap 119871 (11)

Let 119878 be regular we need to prove only that 119877 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119871]Suppose 119886 isin 119877cap119871 Since 119878 is regular we obtain 119886 le 119886120572119909120573119886 forsome 119909 isin 119878 and 120572 120573 isin Γ and so 119886 isin 119877 and 119909120572119886 isin 119871 therefore119886120572119909120573119886 isin 119877Γ119871 Therefore 119886 isin (119877Γ119871] and thus 119877cap119871 sube (119877Γ119871]

(ii) rArr (iii) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 thatfollows directly from Lemma 3 and the condition (ii) As theordered two-sided Γ-ideal of 119878 is generated by 119877 = (119877cup 119878Γ119877]the condition (ii) implies that

119877 = 119877 cap (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] = (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]]

therefore (119877Γ119877] sube (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] = 119877(12)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119877Γ(119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] Then 119886 le 119903120572119887 for119903 isin 119877 and 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] From 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] we have119887 le 119888 where 119888 = 119903

10158401015840isin 119877Γ119877 for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ thus 119886 isin (119877Γ119877]

Thus 119877 sube (119877Γ119877] so that (119877Γ119877] = 119877 Similarly we can provethat (119871Γ119871] = 119871 dually

(iii) rArr (iv)The conditions (1) (2) in (iii) and Lemma 7show that (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

respectively Applying (iii) (3) we obtain 119877119868lowast Γ lowast 119871

therefore ⟨119871119868cup 119877119868⟩ sube 119876

119868in (119873119876 lowast)

Conversely suppose 119876 isin 119876119868 Then (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] is the

ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 generated by 119876 The condition (iii)(2) implies that

119876 sube (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] = ((119876 cup 119878Γ119876] Γ (119876 cup 119878Γ119876]]

(13)

We can dually prove that 119876 sube (119876Γ119878] Therefore usingthese facts and Lemma 4 it follows that

(a) 119876 sube (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] = 119876

(14)

Therefore for 119876 isin 119876119868 we have 119876 = (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] and the

condition (iii) (3) together with (a) implies that

(15)

Moreover by the assertion (iii) (2) we have 119878 = (119878Γ119878] and

(119878Γ119876] = ((119878Γ119876]2]

Therefore (119878Γ119876] = (119878Γ((119876Γ119878]Γ(119878Γ119876]]] Dually we canprove that

From these facts (a) and (b) we obtain

Hence 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup

Lemma 9 Every two-sided ordered Γ-ideal 119868 of a regularordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Theorem10 Suppose 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroupThenthe following statements are true

(i) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 can be expressed asfollows

119876 = 119877 cap 119871 = (119877Γ119871] (24)

where 119877 and 119871 are respectively the ordered right andleft Γ-ideals of 119878 generated by 119876

(ii) Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then (119876Γ119876] =(119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(iii) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of any ordered two sided-Γ-ideal of 119878 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Proof Because 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup then byLemma 4 and Theorem 8 the statement (i) is done Since(119876Γ119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876] is always true we need to show that(119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876] We have that (119876Γ119876] is also an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 by Theorem 8 Moreover we have thefollowing equation

Suppose 1198761is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then (119878Γ119876

an ordered left Γ-ideal and (1198761Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal

of 119878 ApplyingTheorem 8 we obtain

Therefore 1198761is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 and 119861 is anordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119868 By the relation (iii) and Lemma 9 119861 isan ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 therefore usingTheorem 6 119861 isan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Also from the relation (iii) againwe obtain 119861 as an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lastly suppose 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868 Because 119878 is regular and

1198711cap 1198712is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 using Theorem 8

we obtain

119904 isin 119861 (119904) cap 119868 (119904) cap 119876 (119904)

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)

(i) 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup(ii) For every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right

Γ-ideal 119877 one has

(119877Γ119871] = 119877 cap 119871 (10)

(iii) For every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 and ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878

(1) (119877Γ119877] = 119877(2) (119871Γ119871] = 119871(3) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) (119871119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) are ordered idempotent Γ-semi-

groups and (119876119868 lowast) is the sub-Γ-semigroup of (119873

119876 lowast)

generated by (119871119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast)

(v) (119876119868 lowast) is a regular ordered sub-Γ-semigroup of the Γ-

semigroup (119873119876 lowast)

(vi) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 is given by 119876 =

(119876Γ119878Γ119876](vii) (119876

119868 lowast sube) is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of the ordered

Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast sube)

Proof (i) rArr (ii) Suppose 119877 and 119871 are ordered right and leftΓ-ideals of 119878 respectively then we have

(119877Γ119871] sube 119877 cap 119871 (11)

Let 119878 be regular we need to prove only that 119877 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119871]Suppose 119886 isin 119877cap119871 Since 119878 is regular we obtain 119886 le 119886120572119909120573119886 forsome 119909 isin 119878 and 120572 120573 isin Γ and so 119886 isin 119877 and 119909120572119886 isin 119871 therefore119886120572119909120573119886 isin 119877Γ119871 Therefore 119886 isin (119877Γ119871] and thus 119877cap119871 sube (119877Γ119871]

(ii) rArr (iii) (119877Γ119871] is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 thatfollows directly from Lemma 3 and the condition (ii) As theordered two-sided Γ-ideal of 119878 is generated by 119877 = (119877cup 119878Γ119877]the condition (ii) implies that

119877 = 119877 cap (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] = (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]]

therefore (119877Γ119877] sube (119877Γ (119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] = 119877(12)

Conversely suppose 119886 isin (119877Γ(119877 cup 119878Γ119877]] Then 119886 le 119903120572119887 for119903 isin 119877 and 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] From 119887 isin (119877 cup 119878Γ119877] we have119887 le 119888 where 119888 = 119903

1015840isin 119877 or 119888 = 119904120572119903

10158401015840 for some 119904 isin 119878 and11990310158401015840isin 119877 Therefore 119886 le 119903120572119888 = 119903120572119903

1015840isin 119877Γ119877 or 119886 le 119903120572119888 =

119903120572(11990412057311990310158401015840) = (119903120572119904)120574119903

10158401015840isin 119877Γ119877 for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ thus 119886 isin (119877Γ119877]

Thus 119877 sube (119877Γ119877] so that (119877Γ119877] = 119877 Similarly we can provethat (119871Γ119871] = 119871 dually

(iii) rArr (iv)The conditions (1) (2) in (iii) and Lemma 7show that (119871

119868 lowast) and (119877

119868 lowast) are idempotent Γ-semigroups

respectively Applying (iii) (3) we obtain 119877119868lowast Γ lowast 119871

119868sube 119876119868

therefore ⟨119871119868cup 119877119868⟩ sube 119876

119868in (119873119876 lowast)

Conversely suppose 119876 isin 119876119868 Then (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] is the

ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878 generated by 119876 The condition (iii)(2) implies that

119876 sube (119876 cup 119878Γ119876] = ((119876 cup 119878Γ119876] Γ (119876 cup 119878Γ119876]]

sube (119876Γ119876 cup 119878Γ119876Γ119876 cup 119876Γ119878Γ119876

cup (119878Γ119876) Γ (119878Γ119876)] sube (119878Γ119876]

(13)

We can dually prove that 119876 sube (119876Γ119878] Therefore usingthese facts and Lemma 4 it follows that

(a) 119876 sube (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] sube (119878Γ119876 cup 119876] cap (119876 cup 119876Γ119878] = 119876

(14)

Therefore for 119876 isin 119876119868 we have 119876 = (119878Γ119876] cap (119876Γ119878] and the

condition (iii) (3) together with (a) implies that

(b) (119877Γ119871] = (119878Γ (119877Γ119871]] cap ((119877Γ119871] Γ119878]

(15)

Moreover by the assertion (iii) (2) we have 119878 = (119878Γ119878] and

(119878Γ119876] = ((119878Γ119876]2]

= ((119878Γ119876] Γ (119878Γ119876]] = ((119878Γ119876] Γ ((119878Γ119878] Γ119876]]

sube (119878Γ119876Γ119878Γ119878Γ119876] sube (119878Γ (119876Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876]]

sube (119878Γ119876]

(16)

Therefore (119878Γ119876] = (119878Γ((119876Γ119878]Γ(119878Γ119876]]] Dually we canprove that

(119876Γ119878] = (((119876Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876]] Γ119878] (17)

From these facts (a) and (b) we obtain

(c) 119876 = (119876Γ119878] cap (119878Γ119876]

= (((119876Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876]] Γ119878] cap (119878Γ ((119876Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876]]]

(iv) rArr (iii) It is a consequence of Lemma 7(iii) rArr (v) By (iii) rArr (iv) we have (b) and (c) Sup-

pose 1198761 1198762are two ordered quasi-Γ-ideals of 119878 Then

(119878Γ(1198761Γ1198762] cup (119876

1Γ1198762]] is the least ordered left Γ-ideal of 119878

containing (1198761Γ1198762] Then the condition (iii) (2) implies that

By Theorem 5 (ii) (1198761Γ1198762] = (119878Γ(119876

therefore 1198761lowast Γ lowast 119876

119868 Thus (119876

is a regular sub Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast)

(v) rArr (vi) Suppose 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878Applying the condition (iv) there is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal1198761of 119878 so that by Lemma 4

and therefore 119876 = (119876Γ119878Γ119876](vi) rArr (vii) It is straightforward(vii) rArr (i) For every 119904 isin 119878 usingTheorem 5 119877(119904) cap 119871(119904)

Hence 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup

Lemma 9 Every two-sided ordered Γ-ideal 119868 of a regularordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Proof Suppose 119894 isin 119868 As 119878 is regular there exists 119904 isin 119878 so thatfor 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin Γ we have

119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894120574119904120575119894 = 119894120572 (119904120573119894120574119904) 120575119894 (23)

As 119904120572119894120573119904 isin 119878Γ119868Γ119878 sube 119868 we observe that 119894 isin (119894Γ119868Γ119894]119868

Theorem10 Suppose 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroupThenthe following statements are true

(i) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 can be expressed asfollows

119876 = 119877 cap 119871 = (119877Γ119871] (24)

where 119877 and 119871 are respectively the ordered right andleft Γ-ideals of 119878 generated by 119876

(ii) Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then (119876Γ119876] =(119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(iii) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of any ordered two sided-Γ-ideal of 119878 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(v) For every 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868and 119877

1 1198772isin 119877119868 one obtains

1198711cap 1198712sube (1198711Γ1198712]

1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772]

(25)

Proof Because 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup then byLemma 4 and Theorem 8 the statement (i) is done Since(119876Γ119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876] is always true we need to show that(119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876] We have that (119876Γ119876] is also an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 by Theorem 8 Moreover we have thefollowing equation

(119876Γ119876] = (119876Γ119876Γ119878Γ119876Γ119876]

= (119876Γ (119876Γ119878Γ119876) Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(26)

Suppose 1198761is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then (119878Γ119876

1] is

an ordered left Γ-ideal and (1198761Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal

of 119878 ApplyingTheorem 8 we obtain

(119878Γ1198761] cap (119876

1Γ119878] = ((119876

1Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876

1]]

sube (1198761Γ119878Γ1198761] sube (119876

1] sube 1198761

(27)

Therefore 1198761is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 and 119861 is anordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119868 By the relation (iii) and Lemma 9 119861 isan ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 therefore usingTheorem 6 119861 isan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Also from the relation (iii) againwe obtain 119861 as an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lastly suppose 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868 Because 119878 is regular and

1198711cap 1198712is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 using Theorem 8

we obtain

1198711cap 1198712= ((119871

Dually we can prove that 1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772] for all 119877

1198772isin 119877119868

Theorem 11 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 one has

Proof Let 119878 be regularThen for any 119886 isin 119861cap119868cap119876 there exists119904 isin 119878 such that

119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574119904120575 (119886120572119904120573119886)

= (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574 (119904120572119886120573119904) 120575119886 isin (119861Γ119861) Γ (119878Γ119868Γ119878) Γ119876

sube 119861Γ119868Γ119876

(30)

Hence 119886 isin (119861Γ119868Γ119876] where 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin ΓConversely let 119861cap 119868 cap119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] for every ordered bi-

Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Let 119861(119904) and 119876(119904) be theordered bi-Γ-ideal and ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 generatedby 119904 respectively So we have the following

119904 isin 119861 (119904) cap 119868 (119904) cap 119876 (119904)

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup (119878Γ119904 cap 119904Γ119878)]]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)

By Theorem 5 (ii) (1198761Γ1198762] = (119878Γ(119876

therefore 1198761lowast Γ lowast 119876

semigroup of (119873119876 lowast) For every 119876 isin 119876

119868 by (c) we obtain

119876 = ((119876Γ119878]Γ(119878Γ119876]] sube (119876Γ119878Γ119878Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119878Γ119876] sube 119876 and so119876 = (119876Γ119878Γ119876] = 119876lowastΓlowast119878lowastΓlowast119876 where 119878 isin 119876

119868 Thus (119876

is a regular sub Γ-semigroup of (119873119876 lowast)

(v) rArr (vi) Suppose 119876 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878Applying the condition (iv) there is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal1198761of 119878 so that by Lemma 4

(21)

and therefore 119876 = (119876Γ119878Γ119876](vi) rArr (vii) It is straightforward(vii) rArr (i) For every 119904 isin 119878 usingTheorem 5 119877(119904) cap 119871(119904)

is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 containing 119904 By (vii) thereexists 119876 isin 119876

119878so that

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904) sube (119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)) lowast Γ lowast 119876 lowast Γ lowast (119877 (119904) cap 119871 (119904))

(22)

Hence 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup

Lemma 9 Every two-sided ordered Γ-ideal 119868 of a regularordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is a regular sub-Γ-semigroup of 119878

Proof Suppose 119894 isin 119868 As 119878 is regular there exists 119904 isin 119878 so thatfor 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin Γ we have

119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894 le 119894120572119904120573119894120574119904120575119894 = 119894120572 (119904120573119894120574119904) 120575119894 (23)

As 119904120572119894120573119904 isin 119878Γ119868Γ119878 sube 119868 we observe that 119894 isin (119894Γ119868Γ119894]119868

Theorem10 Suppose 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroupThenthe following statements are true

(i) Every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 can be expressed asfollows

119876 = 119877 cap 119871 = (119877Γ119871] (24)

where 119877 and 119871 are respectively the ordered right andleft Γ-ideals of 119878 generated by 119876

(ii) Let 119876 be an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 then (119876Γ119876] =(119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(iii) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(iv) Every ordered bi-Γ-ideal of any ordered two sided-Γ-ideal of 119878 is a quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

(v) For every 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868and 119877

1 1198772isin 119877119868 one obtains

1198711cap 1198712sube (1198711Γ1198712]

1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772]

(25)

Proof Because 119878 is a regular ordered Γ-semigroup then byLemma 4 and Theorem 8 the statement (i) is done Since(119876Γ119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876] is always true we need to show that(119876Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876] We have that (119876Γ119876] is also an orderedquasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 by Theorem 8 Moreover we have thefollowing equation

(119876Γ119876] = (119876Γ119876Γ119878Γ119876Γ119876]

= (119876Γ (119876Γ119878Γ119876) Γ119876] sube (119876Γ119876Γ119876]

(26)

Suppose 1198761is an ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Then (119878Γ119876

1] is

an ordered left Γ-ideal and (1198761Γ119878] is an ordered right Γ-ideal

of 119878 ApplyingTheorem 8 we obtain

(119878Γ1198761] cap (119876

1Γ119878] = ((119876

1Γ119878] Γ (119878Γ119876

1]]

sube (1198761Γ119878Γ1198761] sube (119876

1] sube 1198761

(27)

Therefore 1198761is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Suppose 119868 is a two-sided ordered Γ-ideal of 119878 and 119861 is anordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119868 By the relation (iii) and Lemma 9 119861 isan ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119868 therefore usingTheorem 6 119861 isan ordered bi-Γ-ideal of 119878 Also from the relation (iii) againwe obtain 119861 as an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878

Lastly suppose 1198711 1198712isin 119871119868 Because 119878 is regular and

1198711cap 1198712is an ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 using Theorem 8

we obtain

1198711cap 1198712= ((119871

1cap 1198712) Γ119878Γ (119871

1cap 1198712)]

sube (1198711Γ (119878Γ119871

2)] sube (119871

1Γ1198712]

(28)

Dually we can prove that 1198771cap 1198772sube (1198771Γ1198772] for all 119877

1198772isin 119877119868

Theorem 11 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 one has

119861 cap 119868 cap 119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] (29)

6 Algebra

Proof Let 119878 be regularThen for any 119886 isin 119861cap119868cap119876 there exists119904 isin 119878 such that

119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574119904120575 (119886120572119904120573119886)

= (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574 (119904120572119886120573119904) 120575119886 isin (119861Γ119861) Γ (119878Γ119868Γ119878) Γ119876

sube 119861Γ119868Γ119876

(30)

Hence 119886 isin (119861Γ119868Γ119876] where 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin ΓConversely let 119861cap 119868 cap119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] for every ordered bi-

Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Let 119861(119904) and 119876(119904) be theordered bi-Γ-ideal and ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 generatedby 119904 respectively So we have the following

119904 isin 119861 (119904) cap 119868 (119904) cap 119876 (119904)

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup (119878Γ119904 cap 119904Γ119878)]]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]] sube (119904Γ119878Γ119904]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)

Proof Let 119878 be regularThen for any 119886 isin 119861cap119868cap119876 there exists119904 isin 119878 such that

119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574119904120575 (119886120572119904120573119886)

= (119886120572119904120573119886) 120574 (119904120572119886120573119904) 120575119886 isin (119861Γ119861) Γ (119878Γ119868Γ119878) Γ119876

sube 119861Γ119868Γ119876

(30)

Hence 119886 isin (119861Γ119868Γ119876] where 120572 120573 120574 120575 isin ΓConversely let 119861cap 119868 cap119876 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119876] for every ordered bi-

Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 and every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal 119876 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 Let 119861(119904) and 119876(119904) be theordered bi-Γ-ideal and ordered quasi-Γ-ideal of 119878 generatedby 119904 respectively So we have the following

119904 isin 119861 (119904) cap 119868 (119904) cap 119876 (119904)

sube (119861 (119904) Γ119868 (119904) Γ119876 (119904)]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup (119878Γ119904 cap 119904Γ119878)]]

sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904] Γ119878Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]] sube (119904Γ119878Γ119904]

(31)

Hence 119878 is regular

Next consider 119877 in place of119876 inTheorem 11 to obtain thefollowing

Corollary 12 An ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular if and onlyif for every ordered bi-Γ-ideal 119861 every ordered Γ-ideal 119868 andevery right Γ-ideal 119877 of 119878

119861 cap 119868 cap 119877 sube (119861Γ119868Γ119877] (32)

Theorem 13 A partially ordered Γ-semigroup 119878 is regular ifand only if for every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 every ordered leftΓ-ideal 119871 and every ordered right-Γ-ideal 119877 one has

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (33)

Proof Let 119878 be regular then for any 119886 isin 119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 thereexists 119904 isin 119878 such that 119886 le 119886120572119904120573119886 le (119886120572119904120573119886)120574119904120575(119886120579119904120582119886) =

(119886120572119904)120573119886120574(119904120575119886120579119904120582119886) isin (119877Γ119878)Γ119876Γ(119878Γ119871Γ119878Γ119871) sube 119877Γ119876Γ119871 for120572 120573 120574 120579 120575 120582 isin Γ Hence 119886 isin (119877Γ119876Γ119871]

Conversely let

119877 cap 119876 cap 119871 sube (119877Γ119876Γ119871] (34)

for every ordered right Γ-ideal 119877 every ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876 and every ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 of 119878 Suppose 119904 isin 119878 So wehave

119904 isin 119877 (119904) cap 119876 (119904) cap 119871 (119904)

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119876 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube (119877 (119904) Γ119878Γ119871 (119904)]

sube (119877 (119904) Γ119871 (119904)] sube ((119904 cup 119904Γ119878] Γ (119904 cup 119878Γ119904]]

sube ((119904Γ119904 cup 119904Γ119878Γ119904]]

(35)

So for 120572 120573 120574 isin Γ 119904 le 119904120572119904 or 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 If119904 le 119904120572119904 then 119904 le 119904120572119904 le (119904120572119904)120573(119904120574119904) = 119904120572(119904120573119904)

2120574119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904

If 119904 le 119904120572119909120573119904 for some 119909 isin 119878 then 119904 isin 119904Γ119878Γ119904 So finally weobtain 119904 isin (119904Γ119878Γ119904] Hence 119878 is regular

Corollary 14 If one considers an ordered left Γ-ideal 119871 (or anordered right Γ-ideal 119877) in place of the ordered quasi-Γ-ideal119876in Theorem 13 one obtains

119871 cap 119877 sube (119877Γ119871] (36)
