GOYAL (Udaipur) Abstract In this paper, D-strong and almost D-strong near-rings have been defined. It has been proved that if R is a D-strong S-near ring, then prime ideals, strictly prime ideals and completely prime ideals coincide. Also if R is a D-strong near-ring with iden- tity, then every maximal right ideal becomes a maximal ideal and moreover every 2- primitive near-ring becomes a near-field. Several properties, chain conditions and structure theorems have also been discussed. Introduction In this paper, we have generalized some of the results obtained for rings by Wong [12]. Corresponding to the prime and strictly prime ideals in near-rings, we have defined D-strong and almost D-strong near-rings. It has been shown that a regular near-ring having all idempotents central in R is a D-strong and hence almost D-strong near-ring. If R is a D-strong S-near ring, then it has been shown that prime ideals, strictly prime ideals and com- pletely prime ideals coincide and g(R) = H(R) ~ ~(R), where H(R) is the intersection of all strictly prime ideals of R. Also if R is a D-strong near-ring with identity, then every maximal right ideal becomes a maximal ideal and moreover every 2-primitive near-ring becomes a near-field. Some structure theorems have also been discussed. Preliminaries Throughout R will denote a zero-symmetric left near-ring, i.e., R -- Ro in the sense of Pilz [10]. A near-ring R is said to be an S-near ring if a EaR for all a E R. Most of the parts of this paper are included in author's doctoral dissertation a~ Sukhadia University Udaipur (1983).

A normal subgroup B of R is said to be a right ideal of R if (rl + b)r2 -- rlr2 E B for all b E B and r 1, rg. E R. Every right ideal is an R-subgroup but not con- versely. For definitions of R-modules, d.g. near-rings, nearfields and subdirect product we refer to Pilz [10]. The following definitions can be found in [9]. An ideal P of R is said to be strictly prime ideal if for any R-subgroups A and B of R such that AB c_ P, then we have either A ___ P or B ___ P. Clearly a strictly prime ideal is prime but not conversely. Also if R is an S-near ring, then P is a strictly prime ideal of R iff for a, b~R, aRb~P~aEPorbEP. An idealPofR is said to be strictly semiprime if for any R-subgroup A of R such that A 2 _ P, then we have A c_ P. Every strictly prime ideal is strictly semiprime. A near- ring R is called s*-prime (s*-semiprime) [strictly prime and strictly semi- prime in the sense of Oswald [9] but not strictly prime in the sense of Pilz ([10], p. 68)] if the (0) ideal is strictly prime (strictly semiprime) ideal in R. The definition for completely prime and completely semiprime ideals are the same as in ring case [6]. Clearly a completely prime ideal is strictly prime but not conversely. A near-ring R is said to be simple if it contains no proper two-sided ideals. R is said to be strongly semisimple (semisimple in the sense of Blackett [1]) if it contains no non-zero nilpotent R-subgroups and satisfies d.c.e, on R-subgroups [2]. An R-module Mn is said to be R-simple in the sense of Pilz ([10], p. 19) (irreducible in the sense of Choudhary [2]) if it contains no proper R-subgroups. A right ideal B of R is called R-simple if as an R-mod- ule it is R-simple. A near-ring R is said to be regular if for each a E R, there exists x E R such that a ~ axa. R is called right strongly regular if for each a E R, there exists x E R such that a = a2x [8]. In a zero-symmetric case, every right strongly regular near-ring is regular and contains no non-zero nilpotent elements [8]. For arbitrary subsets A and B or R, (A:B)----(xERIBxc_A} is usually called a noetherian quotient. If A is an ideal and B an R'subgroup of R, then it is easy to see that (A : B) is an ideal of R. Unless otherwise stated, the number/~ will be E {0, 1, 2}. A right ideal B of R is called strictly maximal if B is maximal as an R-subgroup. A near- .
