A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +.- and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix . In 1994 , Eschenbach gave a graph theoretic characterization of irreducible sign idempotent pattern matrices. In this paper, we give a characterization of reducible sign idempotent matrices. We show that reducible sign idempotent matrices, whose digraph is contained in an irreducible sign idempotent matrix, has all nonnegative entries up to equivalences. this extend the previous result.

In the fuzzy theory, a matrix A is idempotent if $A^2=A$. The idempotent fuzzy matrices are important in various applications and have many interesting properties. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we have the zero patterns of idempotent fuzzy matrix, that is, the idempotent Boolean matrices. In addition, we give the construction of all idempotent fuzzy matrices for each dimension n.

The fuzzy idempotent matrices are important in various applications and have many interesting properties. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we have the zero patterns of fuzzy idempotent matrix, that is, Boolean idempotent matrices.

Sign patterns of idempotent matrices, especially symmetric idempotent matrices, are investigated. A number of fundamental results are given and various constructions are presented. The sign patterns of symmetric idempotent matrices through order 5 are determined. Some open questions are also given.

In this paper, we examine idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices and idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices of T-type. We develop some properties on both idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices and idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices of T-type. Several theorems are provided and an numerical example is given to illustrate the theorems.

We continue the study of fully idempotent rings initiated by Courter. It is shown that a (semi)prime ring, but not fully idempotent, can be always constructed from any (semi)prime ring. It is shown that the full idempotence is both Morita invariant and a hereditary radical property, obtaining $hs(Mat_n(R))\;=\;Mat_n(hs(R))$ for any ring R where hs(-) means the sum of all fully idempotent ideals. A non-semiprimitive fully idempotent ring with identity is constructed from the Smoktunowicz's simple nil ring. It is proved that the full idempotence is preserved by the classical quotient rings. More properties of fully idempotent rings are examined and necessary examples are found or constructed in the process.

This article concerns the property that for any element a in a ring, if a²ⁿ = aⁿ for some n ≥ 2 then a² = a. The class of rings with this property is large, but there also exist many kinds of rings without that, for example, rings of characteristic ≠2 and finite fields of characteristic ≥ 3. Rings with such a property is called reduced-over-idempotent. The study of reduced-over-idempotent rings is based on the fact that the characteristic is 2 and every nonzero non-identity element generates an infinite multiplicative semigroup without identity. It is proved that the reduced-over-idempotent property pass to polynomial rings, and we provide power series rings with a partial affirmative argument. It is also proved that every finitely generated subring of a locally finite reduced-over-idempotent ring is isomorphic to a finite direct product of copies of the prime field {0, 1}. A method to construct reduced-over-idempotent fields is also provided.

An idempotent e of a ring R is called right (resp., left) semicentral if er = ere (resp., re = ere) for any r ∈ R, and an idempotent e of R∖{0, 1} will be called right (resp., left) quasicentral provided that for any r ∈ R, there exists an idempotent f = f(e, r) ∈ R∖{0, 1} such that er = erf (resp., re = fre). We show the whole shapes of idempotents and right (left) semicentral idempotents of upper triangular matrix rings and polynomial rings. We next prove that every nontrivial idempotent of the n by n full matrix ring over a principal ideal domain is right and left quasicentral and, applying this result, we can find many right (left) quasicentral idempotents but not right (left) semicentral.

We consider the set of $n{\times}n$ idempotent matrices and we characterize the linear operators that preserve idempotent matrices over Boolean algebras. We also obtain characterizations of linear operators that preserve idempotent matrices over a chain semiring, the nonnegative integers and the nonnegative reals.

In general, a matrix A is idempotent if $A^2$ = A. The idempotent matrices play an important role in the matrix theory and some properties of the Boolean matrices are examined. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we give the characterization of the Boolean idempotent matrices in modified Frobenius normal form.
