Our work proposes a new paradigm for the study of various classes of cancellative residuated lattices by viewing these structures as lattice-ordered groups with a suitable operator (a conucleus). One consequence of our approach is the categorical equivalence between the variety of cancellative commutative residuated lattices and the category of abelian lattice-ordered groups endowed with a conu...

In this paper, a concept of generalized weakly contraction mappings in partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces is introduced and  coincidence point  theorems on partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces are proved. Also, as the corollary of these theorems, some common fixed point theorems on partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces are presented.

We generalise the Margolis-Meakin graph expansion of a group to a construction for ordered groupoids, and show that the graph expansion of an ordered groupoid enjoys structural properties analogous to those for graph expansions of groups. We also use the Cayley graph of an ordered groupoid to prove a version of McAlister’s P–theorem for incompressible ordered groupoids. AMS 2000 Mathematics sub...
