Shim %J Tamkang Journal of Mathematics %D 2001 %I Tamkang University %R 10.5556/j.tkjm.32.2001.167-172 %X In this paper, we introduce the concept of nil subsets by using nilpotent elements, and investigate some related properties. We show that a nil subset on a subalgebra (resp. (closed) ideal) is a subalgebra (resp. (closed) ideal). We also prove that in a nil algebra every ideal is a subalgebra. %U http://journals.math.tku.edu.tw/index.php/TKJM/article/view/371
