Covering conditions for ideals in semirings

Abstract

In this paper, we prove prime avoidance for ringoids. We also generalize McCoy's and Davis' prime avoidance theorems in the context of semiring theory. Next, we proceed to define and characterize compactly packed semirings and show that a commutative semiring is compactly packed if and only if each prime ideal is the radical of a principal ideal. Finally, we calculate the set of zero-divisors of some monoid semimodules over compactly packed semirings in terms of their prime ideals.
