Two brief formulations of Boolean algebra

Two Brief Formulations of Boolean Algebra

This paper presents two new formulations of Boolean algebra which appear to have some direct interest on their own account, and which further take a place among the most economical versions, while also exhibiting more intuitive clarity than other versions of a similar degree of economy. As is to some extent customary in short expositions of this kind, I am taking for granted without formal pres...

Ternary Boolean Algebra

Boolean Algebra Approximations

Knight and Stob proved that every low4 Boolean algebra is 0-isomorphic to a computable one. Furthermore, for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, every lown Boolean algebra is 0-isomorphic to a computable one. We show that this is not true for n = 5: there is a low5 Boolean algebra that is not 0-isomorphic to any computable Boolean algebra. It is worth remarking that, because of the machinery developed, the proof u...

Free Boolean Algebra

This theory defines a type constructor representing the free Boolean algebra over a set of generators. Values of type (α)formula represent propositional formulas with uninterpreted variables from type α, ordered by implication. In addition to all the standard Boolean algebra operations, the library also provides a function for building homomorphisms to any other Boolean algebra type. 1 Free Boo...

An Algebra of Boolean Processes

This work has been motivated by the study of the S=R models which allow to represent systems as a set of communicating state machines cooperating through a shared memory. We show that S=R models can be expressed in terms of a process algebra called Boolean SCCS which is a special case of Milner's SCCS, in the sense that the actions are elements of some boolean algebra. We deene for Boolean SCCS...
