On homomorphisms of ordered semigroups into real numbers
In the paper the notion of an ideal of a lattice ordered monoid is introduced and relations between ideals of and congruence relations on are investigated. Further, it is shown that the set of all ideals of a soft lattice ordered monoid or a negatively ordered monoid partially ordered by inclusion is an algebraic Brouwerian lattice.
In the paper lattice-ordered monoids and specially normal lattice-ordered monoids which are a generalization of dually residuated lattice-ordered semigroups are investigated. Normal lattice-ordered monoids are metricless normal lattice-ordered autometrized algebras. It is proved that in any lattice-ordered monoid A, a ∈ A and na ≥ 0 for some positive integer n imply a ≥ 0. A necessary and sufficient condition is found for a lattice-ordered monoid A, such that the set I of all invertible elements...
