Abstract:

As for groups certain automorphisms of a near-ring N may be regarded as inner. The inner automorphisms of N form a normal subgroup of the automorphism group of N. Let V be a group, $\Lambda$ the automorphism group of V, and N the near-ring of maps of V into V generated by $\Lambda$. It is shown that if $\Lambda$ is a complete group (see [2, p. 94]), then it frequently happens that the automorphisms of N are all inner. Using this result the automorphism groups of certain near-rings may be found.
