On the range of a Boolean transformation.
Trillas ([1]) has defined a relational probability on an intuitionistic algebra and has given its basic properties. The main results of this paper are two. The first one says that a relational probability on a intuitionistic algebra defines a congruence such that the quotient is a Boolean algebra. The second one shows that relational probabilities are, in most cases, extensions of conditional probabilities on Boolean algebras.
The probability of the occurrence of an event pertaining to a physical system which is observed in different states determines a function from the set of states of the system to . The function is called a numerical event or multidimensional probability. When appropriately structured, sets of numerical events form so-called algebras of -probabilities. Their main feature is that they are orthomodular partially ordered sets of functions with an inherent full set of states. A classical...
We study deterministic one-way communication complexity of functions with Hankel communication matrices. Some structural properties of such matrices are established and applied to the one-way two-party communication complexity of symmetric Boolean functions. It is shown that the number of required communication bits does not depend on the communication direction, provided that neither direction needs maximum complexity. Moreover, in order to obtain an optimal protocol, it is in any case sufficient...

We prove that the Fodor-type Reflection Principle (FRP) is equivalent to the assertion that any Boolean algebra is openly generated if and only if it is ℵ₂-projective. Previously it was known that this characterization of openly generated Boolean algebras follows from Axiom R. Since FRP is preserved by c.c.c. generic extension, we conclude in particular that this characterization is consistent with any set-theoretic assertion forcable by a c.c.c. poset starting from a model of FRP. A crucial step...
The paper deals with orthomodular lattices which are so-called horizontal sums of Boolean algebras. It is elementary that every such orthomodular lattice is simple and its blocks are just these Boolean algebras. Hence, the commutativity relation plays a key role and enables us to classify these orthomodular lattices. Moreover, this relation is closely related to the binary commutator which is a term function. Using the class of horizontal sums of Boolean algebras, we establish an identity which...
