Primeness in near-rings of continuous functions

Abstract: Various types of primeness have been considered for near-rings. One of these is the concept of equiprime, which was defined in 1990 by Booth, Groenewald and Veldsman. We will investigate when the near-ring $N_{0}(G)$ of continuous zero-preserving self maps of a topological group $G$ is equiprime. This is the case when $G$ is either $T_{0}$ and 0-dimensional or $T_{0}$ and arcwise connected. We also give conditions for $N_{0}(G)$ to be strongly prime and strongly equiprime. Finally, we apply these results to sandwich near-rings of continuous functions.
