For a Heyting algebra A, we show that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) A is profinite; (ii) A is finitely approximable, complete, and completely joinprime generated; (iii) A is isomorphic to the Heyting algebra Up(X) of upsets of an image-finite poset X. We also show that A is isomorphic to its profinite completion iff A is finitely approximable, complete, and the kernel of every fi...

The main purpose of this paper is to axiomatize the join of the variety DPCSHC of dually pseudocomplemented semi-Heyting algebras generated by chains and the variety generated by D2, the De Morgan expansion of the four element Boolean Heyting algebra. Toward this end, we first introduce the variety DQDLNSH of dually quasi-De Morgan linear semi-Heyting algebras defined by the linearity axiom and...

in this paper, we deal with molaei’s generalized groups. we definethe notion of a fuzzy generalized subgroup with respect to a t-norm (ort-fuzzy generalized subgroup) and give some related properties. especially,we state and prove the representation theorem for these fuzzy generalizedsubgroups. next, using the concept of continuity of t-norms we obtain a correspondencebetween tf(g), the set of ...

In this note we characterize all subalgebras and homomorphic images of the free cyclic Heyting algebra, also known as the RiegerNishimura lattice N . Consequently, we prove that every subalgebra of N is projective, that a finite Heyting algebra is a subalgebra of N iff it is projective, and characterize projective homomorphic images of N . The atoms and co-atoms of the lattice of all subalgebra...

We propose a parameterized framework based on a Heyting algebra and Lukasiewicz negation for modeling uncertainty for belief. We adopt a probability theory as mathematical formalism for manipulating uncertainty. An agent can express the uncertainty in her knowledge about a piece of information in the form of belief types: as a single probability, as an interval (lower and upper boundary for a p...
