Directoids with an antitone involution

Ivan Chajda, Miroslav Kolařík (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate -directoids which are bounded and equipped by a unary operation which is an antitone involution. Hence, a new operation can be introduced via De Morgan laws. Basic properties of these algebras are established. On every such an algebra a ring-like structure can be derived whose axioms are similar to that of a generalized boolean quasiring. We introduce a concept of symmetrical difference and prove its basic properties. Finally, we study conditions of direct decomposability of directoids...

Directoids with sectionally antitone involutions and skew MV-algebras

Ivan Chajda, Miroslav Kolařík (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

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.

Directoids with sectionally switching involutions

Ivan Chajda (2006)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

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.

Discriminator order algebras

We prove that an order algebra assigned to a bounded poset with involution is a discriminator algebra.

Distributive ordered sets and relative pseudocomplements

Josef Niederle (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Brouwerian ordered sets generalize Brouwerian lattices. The aim of this paper is to characterize (α)-complete Brouwerian ordered sets in a manner similar to that used previously for pseudocomplemented, Stone, Boolean and distributive ordered sets. The sublattice (G(P)) in the Dedekind-Mac~Neille completion (DM(P)) of an ordered set (P) generated by (P) is said to be the characteristic lattice of (P). We can define a stronger notion of Brouwerianicity by demanding that both (P) and (G(P)) be Brouwerian....
