Abstract

There have been a number of papers which give necessary conditions for a ring to be finite, and a few, most notably H. E. Bell [1], which do the same for near-rings. We wish to make a contribution to this latter theme. Most of Bell's results concern distributive near-rings. Our main contribution is to extend a number of these results to weakly distributive near-rings.
