A Scoop from Groups: Equational Foundations for Loops
نویسنده
چکیده
Groups are usually axiomatized as algebras with an associative binary operation, a two-sided neutral element, and with two-sided inverses. We show in this note that the same simplicity of axioms can be achieved for some of the most important varieties of loops. In particular, we investigate loops of Bol-Moufang type in the underlying variety of magmas with two-sided inverses, and obtain “group-like” equational bases for Moufang, Bol and C-loops. We also discuss the case when the inverses are only one-sided and/or the neutral element is only one-sided. 1. Magmas, semigroups, and loops

On the Veri cation of SCOOP Programs
In this paper we focus on the development of a toolbox for the veri cation of programs in the context of SCOOP an elegant concurrency model, recently formalized based on Rewriting Logic (RL) and Maude. SCOOP is implemented in Ei el and its applicability is demonstrated also from a practical perspective, in the area of robotics programming. Our contribution consists in devising and integrating a...
متن کاملThe Equational Approach to CF2 Semantics
We introduce a family of new equational semantics for argumentation networks which can handle odd and even loops in a uniform manner. We offer one version of equational semantics which is equivalent to CF2 semantics, and a better version which gives the same results as traditional Dung semantics for even loops but can still handle odd loops. 1 Background and orientation Our starting point is th...

متن کاملStructuring and Modularity
The algebraic approach originally concentrated on the use of equational logic as the basic formalism for specification. This use was successful in many senses. In particular, the good behaviour of equational logic with respect to a number of semantic constructs has helped to facilitate the study of new specification concepts and constructs. At the same time, the categorical techniques used for ...
متن کاملAlgebraic Meta-Theories and Synthesis of Equational Logics
Fiore and Hur [18] recently introduced a novel methodology—henceforth referred to as Sol—for the Synthesis of equational and rewriting logics from mathematical models. In [18], Sol was successfully applied to rationally reconstruct the traditional equational logic for universal algebra of Birkhoff [3] and its multi-sorted version [26], and also to synthesise a new version of the Nominal Algebra...
