Residuated lattices arising from equivalence relations on Boolean and Brouwerian algebras

چکیده
Logics designed to deal with vague statements typically allow algebraic semantics such that propositions are interpreted by elements of residuated lattices. The structure of these algebras is in general still unknown, and in the cases that a detailed description is available, to understand its significance for logics can be difficult. So the question seems interesting under which circumstances residuated lattices arise from simpler algebras in some natural way. A possible construction is described in this paper. Namely, we consider pairs consisting of a Browerian algebra (i.e. a dual Heyting algebra) and an equivalence relation. The latter is assumed to be in a certain sense compatible with the partial order, with the formation of differences, and with the formation of suprema of pseudoorthogonal elements; we then call it an s-equivalence relation. We consider operations which, under a suitable additional assumption, naturally arise on the quotient set. The result is that the quotient set bears the structure of a residuated lattice. Further postulates lead to dual BL-algebras. In the case that we begin with Boolean algebras instead, we arrive at dual MV-algebras.

متن کاملDIRECTLY INDECOMPOSABLE RESIDUATED LATTICES
The aim of this paper is to extend results established by H. Onoand T. Kowalski regarding directly indecomposable commutative residuatedlattices to the non-commutative case. The main theorem states that a residuatedlattice A is directly indecomposable if and only if its Boolean center B(A)is {0, 1}. We also prove that any linearly ordered residuated lattice and anylocal residuated lattice are d...
متن کاملRegularity in residuated lattices
In this paper, we study residuated lattices in order to give new characterizations for dense, regular and Boolean elements in residuated lattices and investigate special residuated lattices in order to obtain new characterizations for the directly indecomposable subvariety of Stonean residuated lattices. Free algebra in varieties of Stonean residuated lattices is constructed. We introduce in re...
متن کاملA categorical equivalence for distributive Stonean residuated lattices
Stonean residuated lattices are closely related to Stone algebras since the bounded lattice reduct of a distributive Stonean residuated lattice is a Stone algebra. In the present work we follow the ideas presented by Chen and Grätzer and try to apply them for the case of Stonean residuated lattices. Given a Stonean residuated lattice, we consider the triple formed by its Boolean skeleton, its a...
متن کاملFilters of residuated lattices and triangle algebras
An important concept in the theory of residuated lattices and other algebraic structures used for formal fuzzy logic, is that of a filter. Filters can be used, amongst others, to define congruence relations. Specific kinds of filters include Boolean filters and prime filters. In this paper, we define several different filters of residuated lattices and triangle algebras and examine their mutual...
