DeMeyer, "Zero divisor graphs of semigroups," Journal of Algebra, vol.
Let a hyperideal I of R be [delta]-primary and then every zero divisor of the quotient hyperring R/I is [delta] nilpotent.
An element x [member of] NQR is called a zero divisor if there exists a nonzero element y [member of] NQR such that xy = 0.
Now suppose that ([a.sub.1], [b.sub.1]) [member of] [S.sup.2] is a zero divisor, so there exists a nonzero ([a.sub.2], [b.sub.2]) [member of] [S.sup.2], such that ([a.sub.1], [b.sub.1]) [cross product] ([a.sub.2], [b.sub.2]) = (0,0).
Wickham, "Local rings with genus two zero divisor graph," Communications in Algebra, vol.
For convenience, the following notation is used: for a given matrix M [member of] [R.sup.sxt], the right zero divisor of M is denoted by [S.sub.M], which satisfies M[S.sub.M] = 0 with rank [S.sub.M] = t - rank M.
where: [(M).sup.~L.sub.r,m] ([(M).sup.~R.sub.n,r])--left (right) canonizator of matrix M; [[bar.M].sup.L.sub.m-r,n] ([[bar.M].sup.R.sub.n,n-r])--left (right) zero divisor of the matrix m; r = rank(M); [I.sub.r]--identity matrix of size r x r.

An element a [member of] R\{0} is a S-weak zero divisor if there exists b [member of] R\{0, a} such that a, b = 0 satisfying the following conditions: There exists x, y [member of] R\{0, a, b} such that
Now consider non-differential zero divisors. These type of quantities are distinct elements of the algebra and thus in physical applications could be corresponded to the unit signals (elementary particles).
