Abstract

An ideal I of a near-ring R is a type one prime ideal if whenever a Rb ⊆ I, then a ∈ I or b ∈ I. This paper considers the interconnections between prime ideals and type one prime ideals in near-rings. It also develops properties of type one prime ideals, gives several examples illustrating where prime and type one prime are not equivalent, and investigates the properties of the type one prime radical. Several different types of conditions are given which guarantee that a prime ideal is type one. The class of all near-rings for which each prime ideal is type one is investigated and many examples of such near-rings are exhibited. Various localized distributivity conditions are found which are useful in establishing when prime ideals will be type one prime.
