Axiomatization of Finite Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the set of all formulas in n variables valid in a finite class A of finite algebras is always a regular tree language, and compute a finite axiom set for A. We give a rational reconstruction of Barzdins’ liquid flow algorithm [BB91]. We show a sufficient condition for the existence of a class A of prototype algebras for a given theory Θ. Such a set allows us to prove Θ |= φ simply by testing whether φ holds in A.

Iteration Algebras are not Finitely Axiomatizable : Extended
Algebras whose underlying set is a complete partial order and whose termoperations are continuous may be equipped with a least fixed point operation μx.t. The set of all equations involving the μ-operation which hold in all continuous algebras determines the variety of iteration algebras. A simple argument is given here reducing the axiomatization of iteration algebras to that of Wilke algebras...
متن کاملEquational Axioms for Probabilistic Bisimilarity
This paper gives an equational axiomatization of probabilistic bisimulation equivalence for a class of finite-state agents previously studied by Stark and Smolka ((2000) Proof, Language, and Interaction: Essays in Honour of Robin Milner, pp. 571–595). The axiomatization is obtained by extending the general axioms of iteration theories (or iteration algebras), which characterize the equational p...
متن کاملSquares in Fork Arrow Logic
In this paper we show that the class of fork squares has a complete orthodox axiomatization in fork arrow logic (FAL). This result may be seen as an orthodox counterpart of Venema’s non-orthodox axiomatization for the class of squares in arrow logic. FAL is the modal logic of fork algebras (FAs) just as arrow logic is the modal logic of relation algebras (RAs). FAs extend RAs by a binary fork o...
متن کاملA Finite Equational Axiomatization of the Functional Algebras for the Lambda Calculus
A lambda theory satisfies an equation between contexts, where a context is a *-term with some ``holes'' in it, if all the instances of the equation fall within the lambda theory. In the main result of this paper it is shown that the equations (between contexts) valid in every lambda theory have an explicit finite equational axiomatization. The variety of algebras determined by the above equatio...
متن کاملHow to say Greedy in Fork Algebras
Because of their expressive power, binary relations are widely used in program specification and development within formal calculi. The existence of a finite equational axiomatization for algebras of binary relations with a fork operation guarantees that the heuristic power coming from binary relations is captured inside an abstract equational calculus. In this paper we show how to express the ...
