Let R be a ring and let J be the set of all integers. In the set M(R) of all mappings A: J×J→R, let addition and multiplication be defined by

Here aij denotes the image of (i, j) under A and bij, cij, dij are similarly defined for the mappings B, C, D. In (2) we require A, B to be such that the sum is defined and is in R. Thus, in general, M(R) is not closed with respect to multiplication.
