摘要

This paper investigates the dimensional formulas of semilinear subspaces of n-dimensional vectors over commutative zerosumfree semirings. It first obtains some necessary and sufficient conditions that a sum of semilinear subspaces is a direct sum, which is then used to study the relationships between the direct sums and the dimensions of semilinear subspaces of n-dimensional vectors, some necessary and sufficient conditions that a sum of semilinear subspaces is a direct sum are further shown with terms of dimensions of semilinear subspaces. Finally, dimensional formulas of semilinear subspaces are given.
