By a ring we shall mean an associative ring not necessarily containing an identity element. The fundamental definitions and properties of radicals may be found in Divinsky [2]. Similarly we refer to Howie [3] for the semigroup concepts.

If R is a ring Mn(R) will denote the ring of n × n matrices with entries from R. For many important radicals α it has been shown that α(Mn(R)) = Mn(α(R)) for all rings R and all positive integers n. However this is not the case for all radicals α. Associated with each radical α we define a set of positive integers S(α) by
