We show a simple example for ordered semigroup 𝕊 = 𝕊 (+,⩽) that 𝕊 ⊆ℝ (ℝ denotes the real line) and ]a, b[ + ]c, d[ = ]a + c, b + d[ for all a, b, c, d ∈ 𝕊 such that a < b and c < d, but the intervals are no translation invariant, that is, the equation c +]a, b[ = ]c + a, c + b[ is not always fulfilled for all elements a, b, c ∈ 𝕊 such that a < b. The multiplicative version of the above example is shown too. The product of open intervals in the ordered ring of all integers (denoted by ℤ) is also investigated. Let Ix := {1, 2, . . ., x} for all x ∈ ℤ+ and defined the function g : ℤ+ → ℤ+ by g ( x ) : = max { y ∈ ℤ + | I y ⊆ I x ⋅ I x } g\left( x \right): = \max \left\{ {y \in {\mathbb{Z}_ + }|{I_y} \subseteq {I_x} \cdot {I_x}} \right\} for all x ∈ ℤ+. We give the function g implicitly using the famous Theorem of Chebishev. Finally, we formulate some questions concerning the above topics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
