In this paper we prove that the collection of all weakly distributive lattice ordered groups is a radical class and that it fails to be a torsion class.

The aim of the present paper is to define the localisation of MValgebra of an MV-algebra A with respect to a topology F on A. In the last part of the paper it is proved that the maximal MV-algebra of quotients (defined in [6]) and the MV-algebra of fractions relative to an ∧−closed system (defined in [5]) are MV algebra of localisation. The concept of multiplier for distributive lattices was de...

We completely determine all distributive, codistributive, standard, costandard, and neutral elements in the lattice of overcommutative semigroup varieties, thus correcting a gap contained in [5].

We describe n-generated free MV -algebras as MV-algebras having the lattice reduct which is a direct limit in the category of distributive lattices.

Brouwerian ordered sets generalize Brouwerian lattices. The aim of this paper is to characterize α-complete Brouwerian ordered sets in a manner similar to that used previously for pseudocomplemented, Stone, Boolean and distributive ordered sets. The sublattice G(P ) in the Dedekind-Mac Neille completion DM(P ) of an ordered set P generated by P is said to be the characteristic lattice of P . We...

A modular semilattice is a semilattice S in which w > a A ft implies that there exist i,jeS such that x > a. y > b and x A y = x A w. This is equivalent to modularity in a lattice and in the semilattice of ideals of the semilattice, and the condition implies the Kurosh-Ore replacement property for irreducible elements in a semilattice. The main results provide extensions of the classical charac...

Based on a completely distributive lattice $M$, base axioms and subbase axioms are introduced in $M$-fuzzifying convex spaces. It is shown that a mapping $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) with the base axioms (resp. subbase axioms) can induce a unique $M$-fuzzifying convex structure with  $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) as its base (resp. subbase). As applications, it is proved that bases and subbase...

In this paper, we define a property, trimness, for lattices. Trimness is a not-necessarily-graded generalization of distributivity; in particular, if a lattice is trim and graded, it is distributive. Trimness is preserved under taking intervals and suitable sublattices. Trim lattices satisfy a weakened form of modularity. The order complex of a trim lattice is contractible or homotopic to a sph...

We consider the stable marriage problem where participants are permitted to express indifference in their preference lists (i.e., each list can be partially ordered). We prove that, in an instance where indifference takes the form of ties, the set of strongly stable matchings forms a distributive lattice. However, we show that this lattice structure may be absent if indifference is in the form ...
