In 2002, Professors Gudder and Greechie proved that each $\\sigma$-sequential effect algebra is sharply dominating. In 2005, Professor Gudder presented 25 open problems in International Journal of Theoretical Physics, Vol. 44, 2199-2205, the 3th problem asked: Is each sequential effect algebra sharply dominating? Now, we construct an example to answer the problem negatively.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-30T03:03:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "professors gudder", "open problems", "international journal", "3th problem", "professor gudder" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0812.2502J" } } }
