Abstract

Let \({\mathcal {R}}\) be a 2-torsion-free commutative ring with unity, X a locally finite pre-ordered set with a finite number of connected components and \(I(X,{\mathcal {R}})\) the incidence algebra of X over \({\mathcal {R}}\). In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for a commuting map on \(I(X,{\mathcal {R}})\) to be proper.
