We characterize free poset algebras F(P) over partially ordered sets and show that they can be represented by upper semi-lattice algebras. Hence, the uniqueness, in decomposition into normal form, using symmetric difference, of non-zero elements of F(P) is established. Moreover, a characterization of upper semi-lattice algebras that are isomorphic to free poset algebras is given in terms of a selected set of generators of B(T).
Modes are idempotent and entropic algebras. While the mode structure of sets of submodes has received considerable attention in the past, this paper is devoted to the study of mode structure on sets of mode homomorphisms. Connections between the two constructions are established. A detailed analysis is given for the algebra of homomorphisms from submodes of one mode to submodes of another. In particular, it is shown that such algebras can be decomposed as Płonka sums of more elementary homomorphism...
We attach to each -semilattice a graph whose vertices are join-irreducible elements of and whose edges correspond to the reflexive dependency relation. We study properties of the graph both when is a join-semilattice and when it is a lattice. We call a -semilattice particle provided that the set of its join-irreducible elements satisfies DCC and join-generates . We prove that the congruence lattice of a particle lattice is anti-isomorphic to the lattice of all hereditary subsets of...
We prove that the semirings of 1-preserving and of 0,1-preserving endomorphisms of a semilattice are always subdirectly irreducible and we investigate under which conditions they are simple. Subsemirings are also investigated in a similar way.
