Let R= 〈R, +, •〉 be the cartesian sum of the rings Ri, i= 1, 2,…, n denoted by , and recall that R is a ring under the componentwise operations. It is well-known (e.g. [1], p. 212) that the endomorphisms of the group 〈R, + 〉 form a ring HomZR (under function addition and composition) and moreover HomZR is isomorphic to the matrix ring under the usual matrix operations of addition and multiplication.
