zero-divisors of a ring constitute an ideal

I want to know if

"zero-divisors of a ring constitute an ideal iff each pair of zero-divisors of the ring has a nonzero annihilator?"



the crucial point for zero-divisors of a ring to constitute an ideal is to check if the sum of each pair of zero-divisors is again a zero-divisor. so one direction is trivial:

if each pair of zero-divisors of the ring has a nonzero annihilator then
zero-divisors constitute an ideal.



what about the converse?



thanks.

    What do you mean with ''each pair of zero-divisors has a nonzero annihilator''?

  • @13571 Is it a commutative ring? Otherwise, right or left annihilator? Also as commented above, your writing is not clear, 'pair' in what sense?

  • @AnyAD when the commutative algebra tag is used, we usually assume the ring in question is commutative.

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
