“…Throughout, we fix R = F q +uF q +vF q , u 2 = u, v 2 = v, uv = vu = 0. Now, following [3,12], we recall that R is a semi-local non-chain ring with three maximal ideals 1 − u , 1 − v and u + v . Again, by applying the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) decomposition, we can write R 3 units and q 3 − (q − 1) 3 nonunit elements where the set of units is calculated by the fact that r is a unit in R if and only if r 1 , r 2 , r 3 are non-zero in F q .…”
