The main aim of this paper is to study the sum of strongly $z$-ideals in ${mathcal{R}} L$, the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a frame $L$. For every ideal $I$ in ${mathcal{R}} L$, we introduce the biggest strongly $z$-ideal included in $I$ and the smallest strongly $z$-ideal containing $I$, denoted by $I^{sz}$ and $I_{sz}$, respectively. We study some properties of $I^{sz}$ and $I_{sz}$. Also, it is observed that the sum of any family of minimal prime ideals in the ring ${mathcal{R}} L$ is either ${mathcal{R}} L$ or a prime strongly $z$-ideal in ${mathcal{R}} L$. In particular, we show that the sum of two prime ideals in ${mathcal{R}} L$ such that are not a chain, is a prime strongly $z$-ideal. }, URL = {http://ijmsi.ir/article-1-1025-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijmsi.ir/article-1-1025-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Informatics}, doi = {10.29252/ijmsi.15.1.23}, year = {2020} }
