The aim of this paper is to describe how varieties of algebras of type τ can be classified by using the form of the terms which build the (defining) identities of the variety. There are several possibilities to do so. In [3], [19], [15] normal identities were considered, i.e. identities which have the form x ≈ x or s ≈ t, where s and t contain at least one operation symbol. This was generalized in [14] to k-normal identities and in [4] to P-compatible identities. More generally, we select a subset...
Let be a connected monounary algebra. The paper deals with retract irreducibility of in the class of all connected monounary algebras and in the class of all monounary algebras.
A characterization of all classes of idempotent groupoids having no more than two essentially binary term operations with respect to small finite models is given.
