### Minimal Ideals and Primitivity in Near-rings

Gerhard Wendt

#### Abstract

We address and answer the question when a minimal ideal of a zero symmetric near-ring is a primitive near-ring. This implies that a minimal ideal of a zero symmetric near-ring is a simple near-ring in many natural situations.
