Functions on universal algebras

Fuzzy universal algebras on $L$-sets

This paper attempts to generalize universal algebras on classical sets to $L$-sets when $L$ is a GL-quantale. Some basic notions of fuzzy universal algebra on an $L$-set are introduced, such as subalgebra, quotient algebra, homomorphism, congruence, and direct product etc. The properties of them are studied. $L$-valued power algebra is also introduced and it is shown there is an onto homomorphi...

On Pseudo-simple Universal Algebras

A universal algebra is simple if and only if it has more than one element and there are no proper homomorphisms defined upon it. In this note we study a related notion : an algebra is pseudo-simple if and only if it has more than one element and is isomorphic to all its proper (i.e., non-one-element) homomorphic images. The two concepts simplicity and pseudo-simplicity are examples of concepts ...

On Universal Functions

on mv-algebras of non-linear functions

in this paper, the main results are:a study of the finitely generated mv-algebras of continuous functions from the n-th power of the unit real interval i to i;a study of hopfian mv-algebras; anda category-theoretic study of the map sending an mv-algebra as above to the range of its generators (up to a suitable form of homeomorphism).

On Automorphisms of Categories of Universal Algebras

Given a variety V of universal algebras. A new approach is suggested to characterize algebraically automorphisms of the category of free V-algebras. It gives in many cases an answer to the problem set by the first of authors, if automorphisms of such a category are inner or not. This question is important for universal algebraic geometry [5, 9]. Most of results will actually be proved to hold f...
