Model-completeness for sheaves of structures
This paper presents a modeling methodology in (max,+) algebra which has been developed in order to implement a modulary software for the simulation and the analysis of electronic cards production lines. More generally, this approach may be applied to hybrid flowshop type manufacturing systems.
Lattice effect algebras generalize orthomodular lattices and -algebras. We describe all complete modular atomic effect algebras. This allows us to prove the existence of ordercontinuous subadditive states (probabilities) on them. For the separable noncomplete ones we show that the existence of a faithful probability is equivalent to the condition that their MacNeille complete modular effect algebra.
Bounded integral residuated lattices form a large class of algebras containing some classes of commutative and noncommutative algebras behind many-valued and fuzzy logics. In the paper, monotone modal operators (special cases of closure operators) are introduced and studied.
The real line ℝ may be characterized as the unique non-atomic directed partially ordered abelian group which is monotone σ-complete (countable increasing bounded sequences have suprema), has the countable refinement property (countable sums of positive (possibly infinite) elements have common refinements) and is linearly ordered. We prove here that the latter condition is not redundant, thus solving an old problem by A. Tarski, by proving that there are many spaces (in particular, of arbitrarily...
In the paper it is proved that the category of -algebras is equivalent to the category of bounded -semigroups satisfying the identity . Consequently, by a result of D. Mundici, both categories are equivalent to the category of bounded commutative -algebras.
