Amount algebras

In this paper, as a generalization to content algebras, we introduce amount algebras. Similar to the Anderson–Badawi [Formula: see text] conjecture, we prove that under some conditions, the formula [Formula: see text] holds for some amount [Formula: see text]-algebras [Formula: see text] and some ideals [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the smallest positive integer [Formula: see text] that the ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-absorbing. A corollary to the mentioned formula is that if, for example, [Formula: see text] is a Prüfer domain or a torsion-free valuation ring and [Formula: see text] is a radical ideal of [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text].
