(i). For all a b 2 L we havea + b 2(a ^ b) and so (a + b) +<br />

which implies that<br />

a + dd + dd<br />

\ b<br />

(a + b) + dd .<br />

Applying this to a = w ; f and b = w ; g we nd that<br />

( w ; f) + dd \ ( w ; g) + dd<br />

from which (i) follows.<br />

(ii). It follows from<br />

that<br />

(( + ) w ; (f + g)) +<br />

(( + ) w ; (f + g)) + dd<br />

and this implies that<br />

(( + ) w ; (f + g)) + dd \ ( w ; f) + d<br />

2(a + ^ b + ),<br />

(( + ) w ; (f + g)) + dd ,<br />

( w ; f) + +( w ; g) +<br />

( w ; f) + dd + ( w ; g) + dd<br />

f +g<br />

Since p + ^ ; w ; pf is the component <strong>of</strong>w in the band<br />

(( + ) w ; (f + g)) + dd \ ( w ; f) + d ,<br />

f +g<br />

it is now clear that p + ^ ; w ; pf p g .<br />

( w ; g) + dd .<br />

Proposition 2.3 (H. Nakano, [14]) If fg 2 L and 2 R, then<br />

p f +g =sup p f ^ p g : 2 Q + .<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Since the set Q <strong>of</strong> rationals is countable, the supremum on the<br />

right hand side, which we denote by p, exists in L. From (ii) <strong>of</strong> Lemma 2.2<br />

it is clear that p p f +g . To prove the reverse inequality, take 2 Q such<br />

that and take k 2 N. De ne n =2 ;kn for all n 2 Z. Since pf # 0as<br />
