In this paper we shall give some results on irreducible deductive systems in BCK-algebras and we shall prove that the set of all deductive systems of a BCK-algebra is a Heyting algebra. As a consequence of this result we shall show that the annihilator of a deductive system is the the pseudocomplement of . These results are more general than that the similar results given by M. Kondo in [7].
Using the general hypergraph technique developed in [7], we first give a much simpler proof of Shultz's theorem [10]: Each compact convex set is affinely homeomorphic to the state space of an orthomodular lattice. We also present partial solutions to open questions formulated in [10] - we show that not every compact convex set has to be a state space of a unital orthomodular lattice and that for unital orthomodular lattices the state space characterization can be obtained in the context of unital...
This note deals with two logical topics and concerns Boolean Algebras from an elementary point of view. First we consider the class of operations on a Boolean Algebra that can be used for modelling If-then propositions. These operations, or Conditionals, are characterized under the hypothesis that they only obey to the Modus Ponens-Inequality, and it is shown that only six of them are boolean two-place functions. Is the Conditional Probability the Probability of a Conditional? This problem will...
This paper continues the investigation into Krull-style dimensions in algebraic frames. Let be an algebraic frame. is the supremum of the lengths of sequences of (proper) prime elements of . Recently, Th. Coquand, H. Lombardi and M.-F. Roy have formulated a characterization which describes the dimension of in terms of the dimensions of certain boundary quotients of . This paper gives a purely frame-theoretic proof of this result, at once generalizing it to frames which are not necessarily...
The notion of bounded commutative residuated -monoid (-monoid, in short) generalizes both the notions of -algebra and of -algebra. Let be a -monoid; we denote by the underlying lattice of . In the present paper we show that each direct...
It is well-known that every MV-algebra is a distributive lattice with respect to the induced order. Replacing this lattice by the so-called directoid (introduced by J. Ježek and R. Quackenbush) we obtain a weaker structure, the so-called skew MV-algebra. The paper is devoted to the axiomatization of skew MV-algebras, their properties and a description of the induced implication algebras.
It is shown that every directoid equipped with sectionally switching mappings can be represented as a certain implication algebra. Moreover, if the directoid is also commutative, the corresponding implication algebra is defined by four simple identities.
The theory of discriminator algebras and varieties has been investigated extensively, and provides us with a wealth of information and techniques applicable to specific examples of such algebras and varieties. Here we give several such examples for Boolean algebras with a residuated binary operator, abbreviated as r-algebras. More specifically, we show that all finite r-algebras, all integral r-algebras, all unital r-algebras with finitely many elements below the unit, and all commutative residuated...
