Abstract:
Let RR be a set of positive integers with usual operations of addition and multiplication
a+b=s(a,b);a⋅b=m(a,b);a,b∈R.a+b=s(a,b);a⋅b=m(a,b);a,b∈R.
A correspondence is set up between each one-to-one (Peano) mapping pp of the space
R×RR×R onto the whole of RR and the two functions
σ(c)=σ[p(a,b)]=s(a,b);μ(c)=μ[p(a,b)]=m(a,b).
It is proved in this note that there can be no Peano mapping for which σ(μ(c))=μ(σ(c))
for all c in R.
