Abstract: Abstract Intensive investigations of the algebraic theory of semirings were started in the 1950s mostly by A. Almeida-Costa (in Portugal), S. Bourne, M. Henriksen and H. Zassenhaus (in the USA), L. Rédei and O. Steinfeld (in Hungary), K. Iséki and K. Iizuka (in Japan) , H.J. Weinert and H. Lugowski (in Germany) , W. Słowikowski and W. Zawadowski (in Poland), and by their co-workers. Several classical notions and theorems from the theory of rings were extended and generalized to semirings. The semiring ℕ of natural numbers was the first interesting model for such investigations which is not a ring. Many papers were devoted to the theory of ideals, congruences, radicals and lattices of ideals of semirings. The first introduction to the theory of ideals of semirings was given by A. Almeida Costa [1974]. As the monographs by J.S. Golan [1992], [1999a], and by U. Hebisch & H.J. Weinert [1993] and [1998] provide an excellent introduction to that theory, we will only list papers relating to that area, omitting additional details.
