On distances and metrics in discrete ordered sets

Stephan Foldes, Sándor Radelecki (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Discrete partially ordered sets can be turned into distance spaces in several ways. The distance functions may or may not satisfy the triangle inequality and restrictions of the distance to finite chains may or may not coincide with the natural, difference-of-height distance measured in a chain. It is shown that for semilattices the semimodularity ensures the good behaviour of the distances considered. The Jordan-Dedekind chain condition, which is weaker than semimodularity, is equivalent to the...

On distributive trices

Kiyomitsu Horiuchi, Andreja Tepavčević (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

A triple-semilattice is an algebra with three binary operations, which is a semilattice in respect of each of them. A trice is a triple-semilattice, satisfying so called roundabout absorption laws. In this paper we investigate distributive trices. We prove that the only subdirectly irreducible distributive trices are the trivial one and a two element one. We also discuss finitely generated free distributive trices and prove that a free distributive trice with two generators has 18 elements.

On JP-semilattices of Begum and Noor

Jānis Cīrulis (2013)

Mathematica Bohemica

In recent papers, S. N. Begum and A. S. A. Noor have studied join partial semilattices (JP-semilattices) defined as meet semilattices with an additional partial operation (join) satisfying certain axioms. We show why their axiom system is too weak to be a satisfactory basis for the authors' constructions and proofs, and suggest an additional axiom for these algebras. We also briefly compare axioms of JP-semilattices with those of nearlattices, another kind of meet semilattices with a partial join...

On k-radicals of Green's relations in semirings with a semilattice additive reduct

Tapas Kumar Mondal, Anjan Kumar Bhuniya (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

We introduce the k-radicals of Green's relations in semirings with a semilattice additive reduct, introduce the notion of left k-regular (right k-regular) semirings and characterize these semirings by k-radicals of Green's relations. We also characterize the semirings which are distributive lattices of left k-simple subsemirings by k-radicals of Green's relations.

On unique factorization semilattices

Pedro V. Silva (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

The class of unique factorization semilattices (UFSs) contains important examples of semilattices such as free semilattices and the semilattices of idempotents of free inverse monoids. Their structural properties allow an efficient study, among other things, of their principal ideals. A general construction of UFSs from arbitrary posets is presented and some categorical properties are derived. The problem of embedding arbitrary semilattices into UFSs is considered and complete characterizations...
