Abstract

In recent years, and in the continuation of BSE algebras, the concept of BED algebra for a commutative and semisimple Banach algebra $\mathcal A$ has been introduced and studied by some authors. It has also been proved that if $\mathcal A$ is regular and also contains a bounded approximate identity $\{e_\alpha\}_\alpha$ such that for every $\alpha$, the Gelfand transformation $e_\alpha$, i.e. $\widehat{e_\alpha}$ has compact support, then $\mathcal A$ is a BSE algebra if and only if it is a BED algebra. In other words, for such algebras two concepts of BSE and BED coincide. In this paper, let us assume that $S$ is the commutative semigroup $({\Bbb Z}^2,\max)$. In recent years, it has been proven that the semigroup algebra $\ell^1({\Bbb Z}^2,\max)$ is a BSE algebra. In this paper, we show that $\ell^1({\Bbb Z}^2,\max)$ contains a bounded approximate identity with the condition mentioned above. We also show that $\ell^1({\Bbb Z}^2,\max)$ is regular. Thus, as a main result, we obtain that $\ell^1({\Bbb Z}^2,\max)$ is also a BED algebra.
