Abstract

We introduce a new function from the bounded derived category of a finite dimensional algebra over a field to the set of all natural numbers, which is a generalized version of the Igusa–Todorov function. Then we extend the results corresponding to the Igusa–Todorov function. As an application, we give a new proof of the finiteness of the finitistic dimension of special biserial algebras.
