	Integral domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Integral domains are generalizations of the integers and provide a natural setting for studying divisibility.
		Alternatively and equivalently, integral domains may be defined as commutative rings in which the zero ideal {0} is prime, or as the subrings of fields.
		Integral domains are also characterized by the condition that they are reduced and irreducible.

	PlanetMath: integral domain
		It is also not very closely related to the notion of integral, which is applied to ring elements, or that of integral closure, which is applied to extensions of rings, although these concepts are normally applied to integral domains.
		Commutative integral domains have fraction fields, which play the role of the rational numbers, and they each have a characteristic (which is either a prime number or zero).
		This is version 10 of integral domain, born on 2001-10-19, modified 2004-04-24.

	Principal ideal domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In abstract algebra, a principal ideal domain (PID) is an integral domain in which every ideal is principal (that is, generated by a single element).
		Examples are the ring of integers, all fields, and rings of polynomials in one variable with coefficients in a field.
		All Euclidean domains are principal ideal domains, but the converse is not true.

	Euclidean domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In abstract algebra, a Euclidean domain (also called a Euclidean ring) is a type of ring in which the Euclidean algorithm can be used.
		In fact, if I is a nonzero ideal of a Euclidean domain D and a nonzero a in I is chosen to minimize v(a) over all elements of I, then I = aD.
		The name Euclidean domain comes from the fact that the extended Euclidean algorithm can be carried out in any Euclidean domain.

	Abstract algebra:Integral domains - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Integral domains are a useful tool for studying the conditions under which concepts like divisibility and unique factorization are well-behaved.
		For this reason an integral domain is sometimes called a cancellation ring.
		Theorem: Let R be an integral domain and let R[x] be the ring of polynomials in powers of x whose coefficients are elements of R.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Dedekind domain
		In other words, a Dedekind domain is a commutative ring which is not a field, doesn't have zero divisors, and in which every ideal is finitely generated, every nonzero prime ideal is a maximal ideal, and which is integrally closed in its fraction field.
		An alternative characterization of Dedekind domains is that an integral domain R is a Dedekind domain if and only if the localization of R at each prime ideal P of R is a discrete valuation ring.
		The most important examples of Dedekind domains, and historically the motivating ones, arise from algebraic number fields: start with a finite field extension F of the rational numbers Q and consider the set of all elements of F which are algebraic integers (in other words, the integral closure of Z in F).

	Integral Domain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		A domain is a ring with left and right cancellation.
		Given a nonzero element c, c*x is a permutation on the ring by cancellation.
		Since c was arbitrary, all elements are left invertable, and by an earlier result, the ring is a division ring.

	ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Ideal Theory of Commutative Rings
		An integral domain D is called a Dedekind domain if each proper ideal of D can be written as a product of a finite number of prime ideals of D. We will show in Theorem 12.2.4 that a Dedekind domain has some of the properties of a principal ideal domain.
		Let D be an integral domain with quotient field F, and let I be an ideal of D that is invertible when considered as a fractional ideal.
		Let D be an integral domain with quotient field Q, and let F be a finite extension field of Q. If D* is the set of all elements of F that are integral over D, then D* is a Dedekind domain.

		Integral Commons has everything you need to understand and participate in any of the 30 domains of integral practice.
		That is the first tier of integral learning—namely, all of the partners of a particular domain will form a mega-feedback loop on how to apply the Integral Approach in their domains; which types of approaches work, which don’t; advice and practical tips on how to proceed; trial and error in the application of Integralism.
		However, not only will each domain be pioneering ways to apply integral approaches in their own fields—personal to professional—each of the domains will be talking with each other.

	Prof. Weile's Research
		Frequency domain CEM methods are more efficient for the simulation of narrowband phenomena and phenomena involving loss, but they can not handle nonlinear problems and are very inefficient for the simulation of broadband phenomena or moving objects.
		Time domain methods have the exact opposite properties; they are efficient over broad bands, can simulate nonlinear and moving phenomena, but the simulation of loss is difficult.
		Moreover, if the object under study is homogeneous, the unknown current in the integral equation exists only on the surface, as opposed to filling the whole volume of the structure.

		If q is not of the domain type Dom::Fraction(R), it is considered as a rational expression which is converted into a fraction over R and multiplied with q.
		It uses the method "random" of the domain R to randomly generate its numerator and denominator.
		This method tries to convert r into an element of the domain T, or, if T is not a domain, to the domain type of T.

	Weakly integrally closed domains:\\minimum polynomials of matrices
		If D is a subring of an integral domain R, we say that R is a separable quadratic extension of D if R is a subring of a separable quadratic extension field of the quotient field K of D.
		Of course R is integrally closed, being a unique factorization domain, but the ring R[2i] is not, and R[2i] is weakly integrally closed because it is a free quadratic extension of the Krull domain R.
		Characterize the weakly integrally closed algebras k[M] where M is a submonoid of the free monoid on one generator, and k is a field.

		In mathematics, every integral domain can be embedded in a field; the smallest field which can be used is the field of fractions of the integral domain.
		The elements of the field of fractions of the integral domain R have the form a/b with a and b in R and b ≠ 0.
		The functor from C to the category of fields which takes every integral domain to its fraction field and every homomorphism to the induced map on fields (which exists by the universal property) is the left adjoint of the forgetful functor from the category of fields to C.

		Definition: An integral domain D is a commutative ring with unity 1 (not equal to 0) that has no divisors of 0.
		Proof: By definition, every integral domain is a commutative ring with unity (not equal to 0).
		Since D is an integral domain and we've assumed that x-y is non-zero (since x and y are distinct), we must have that a equals zero, contradiction.

	Two-dimensional time-domain volume integral equations for scattering of inhomogeneous objects
		This paper proposes a time-domain volume integral equation based method for analyzing the transient scattering from a two-dimensional inhomogeneous cylinder by invoking the volume equivalence principle for both the transverse magnetic and electric cases.
		For the transverse electric case, because of the electric charges induced inside and on the surface of the cylinder, the electric flux is defined on the edges of the triangles, and expanded in space in terms of two-dimensional surface roof-top basis functions.
		The time-domain volume integral equation is solved by using a marching-on-in-time scheme.

		The main objective of this paper is to present a brief, yet complete, exposition on a type of integral domain called Dedekind ring.
		In addition, it methodically explores some of the key theorems in relation to the ideals and quotient rings of Dedekind domains to establish the theorem that every ideal in a Dedekind ring can be factored uniquely into prime ideals.
		Also, in the latter part of the paper, a reference is made to the roles that the ideas of relative degree and ramification index play with regard to the factorization of ideals in Dedekind domains.

		Using the divergence theorem, the contour integral can be expanded into an area integral in two dimensions or a volume integral in three dimensions, over a finite domain surrounding the crack front.
		Contributions to the contour integral due to concentrated loads in the domain are not included; instead, the mesh must be modified to include a small element and a distributed load must be applied to this element.
		The contour integral evaluation capability in ABAQUS/Standard assumes that the elements that lie within the domain used for the calculations are quadrilaterals in two-dimensional or shell models or bricks in continuum three-dimensional models.
