Effect algebras and ring-like structures

Enrico G. Beltrametti, Maciej J. Maczyński (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

The dichotomic physical quantities, also called propositions, can be naturally associated to maps of the set of states into the real interval [0,1]. We show that the structure of effect algebra associated to such maps can be represented by quasiring structures, which are a generalization of Boolean rings, in such a way that the ring operation of addition can be non-associative and the ring multiplication non-distributive with respect to addition. By some natural assumption on the effect algebra,...

Entropy on effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property I: Basic properties

Antonio Di Nola, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Marek Hyčko, Corrado Manara (2005)

Kybernetika

We define the entropy, lower and upper entropy, and the conditional entropy of a dynamical system consisting of an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property, a state, and a transformation. Such effect algebras allow many refinements of two partitions. We present the basic properties of these entropies and these notions are illustrated by many examples. Entropy on MV-algebras is postponed to Part II.

Extending Coarse-Grained Measures

Anna De Simone, Pavel Pták (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

In [4] it is proved that a measure on a finite coarse-grained space extends, as a signed measure, over the entire power algebra. In [7] this result is reproved and further improved. Both the articles [4] and [7] use the proof techniques of linear spaces (i.e. they use multiplication by real scalars). In this note we show that all the results cited above can be relatively easily obtained by the Horn-Tarski extension technique in a purely combinatorial manner. We also characterize the pure measures...

Extensions of partially ordered partial abelian monoids

Sylvia Pulmannová (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The notion of a partially ordered partial abelian monoid is introduced and extensions of partially ordered abelian monoids by partially ordered abelian groups are studied. Conditions for the extensions to exist are found. The cases when both the above mentioned structures have the Riesz decomposition property, or are lattice ordered, are treated. Some applications to effect algebras and MV-algebras are shown.
