Abstract:
A lower and an upper bounds for the length of a direct sum of nonassociative algebras are obtained, and their sharpness is established. Note that while the lower bound for the length of a direct sum in the associative and nonassociative cases turns out to be the same, the upper bound in the nonassociative case significantly exceeds its associative counterpart.
Key words and phrases:non-associative algebra, length of an algebra, direct sum.
