A ringRis a reduced ring，provided thata2＝0implies thata＝0.The paper discussed the relations between reduced rings and 3－Armendariz rings and proved that power series rings and some special upper triangular matrix rings of reduced rings are 3－Armendariz rings.

reduced ring；power series ring；3－Armendariz ring.

1 Introduction

Condition（P） For alla，b，c∈R，if（abc）2＝0，thenabc＝0.（see［1］）

Proposition 1IfRis a reduced ring，thenRsatisfies the Condition（P），but the converse is not true.

ProofIt is easy to prove thatRis a reduced ring implies thatRsatisfies the Condition（P），there exists a ring that satisfies the Condition（P）but is not a reduced ring.Let

From［1］，we know thatRis 3－Armendariz ring if and only ifR［x］is 3－Armendariz ring.Clearly，all subrings of 3－Armendariz rings are 3－Armendariz rings.IfR［［x］］is a 3－Armendariz ring，thenR［x］is a 3－Armendariz ring，but the converse is not true.

Theorem 1LetRbe a reduced ring，thenR［［x］］is a 3－Armendariz ring.

Corollary 1IfRis a reduced ring，thenR［x］is a 3－Armendariz ring.

Theorem 2LetRbe a reduced ring，then is a 3－Armendariz ring.

ProofIt is well know that for a ringRand any positive integern≥2，R［x］/（xn）≌S.where（xn）is the ideal ofR［x］generated byxn.It is evident thatR［x］/（xn）≌R′，R′is subring ofR［［x］］，soR′≌S.SinceRis reduced ring，by Theorem 1，we knowR［［x］］is 3－Armendariz ring，moveover，subrings of 3－Armendariz rings are 3－Armendariz rings，soR′is a 3－Armendariz ring.ThereforeSis a 3－ Armendariz ring and the proof is complete.

Theorem 3LetRbe a reduced ring，then

is a 3－Armendariz ring.

ProofSinceRis a reduced ring，thenRsatisfies the Condition（P），that is

InR，since（bca）2＝bcabca＝bc（abc）a＝0，sobca＝0.

We can denote their addition and multiplication by：

So every polynomial ofR［y］can be expressed by（f0（0），f0（y），f1（y）），wheref0（y），f1（y）∈R［x］［y］.For allf（y），g（y），h（y）∈R〈x〉［y］，and

Iff（y）g（y）h（y）＝0，we have the following system of equations：

If we multiply（3）on the right side byf0（y），then

Also if we multiply（3′）on the right side byg0（y），then

Thusf0（0）g0（0）h1（y）f0（0）g0（0）＝0.So（f0（0）g0（0）h1（y））2＝f0（0）g0（0）h1（y）f0（0）g0（0）h1（y）＝0.SinceRa reduced ring，thenR［x］is a reduced ring，and thenR［x］［y］is a reduced ring.Thereforef0（0）g0（0）h1（y）＝0.Hencef0（0）g1（y）h0（y）f0（y）＝0，sof0（0）g1（y）h0（y）f0（0）＝0，it means that（f0（0）g1（y）h0（y））2＝0，thenf0（0）g1（y）h0（y）＝0.

And sof0（0）g0（0）h1（y）＝f0（0）g1（y）h0（y）＝f1（y）g0（y）h0（y）＝0.

Write

and set

For all 0≤i≤r，0≤j≤s，0≤k≤t，we have

we knowR［x］［y］is a reduced ring，soR［x］［y］is a 3－Armendariz ring.Sincef0（0）g0（0）h0（0）＝0，thenf1i（0）f2j（0）f3k（0）＝0.Sincef0（y）g0（y）h0（y）＝0，thenf1i（x）f2j（x）f3k（x）＝0.Sincef0（0）g0（0）h1（y）＝0，thenf1i（0）f2j（0）g3k（x）＝0.Sincef0（0）g1（y）h0（y）＝0，thenf1i（0）g2j（x）f3k（x）＝0.Sincef1（y）g0（y）h0（y）＝0，theng1i（x）f2j（x）f3k（x）＝0.

Consequently

HenceR〈x〉is a 3－Armendariz ring.

Example 1Z2〈x〉is a 3－Armendariz ring，henceZ2〈x〉is a Armendariz ring whereZ2is the field with two elements.

ProofIn view of Theorem 3，Z2〈x〉is a 3－Armendariz ring.ButZ2〈x〉has an identity，and so it is a Armendariz ring.
