We show that every idempotent weakly divisible residuated lattice satisfying the double negation law can be transformed into an orthomodular lattice. The converse holds if adjointness is replaced by conditional adjointness. Moreover, we show that every positive right residuated lattice satisfying the double negation law and two further simple identities can be converted into an orthomodular lat...

The concept of Galois connection between power sets is generalized from the point of view of fuzzy logic. Studied is the case where the structure of truth values forms a complete residuated lattice. It is proved that fuzzy Galois connections are in one-to-one correspondence with binary fuzzy relations. A representation of fuzzy Galois connections by (classical) Galois connections is provided. 1...

In this paper, a theorem on the existence of complete embedding of partially ordered monoids into complete residuated lattices is shown. From this, many interesting results on residuated lattices and substructural logics follows, including various types of completeness theorems of substructural logics.

Continuing with our general study of algebraic hyperstructures, we focus on the residuated operation in the framework of multilattices. Firstly, we recall the existing relation between filters, homomorphisms and congruences in the framework of multilattices; then, introduce the notion of residuated multilattice and further study the notion of filter, which has to be suitably modified so that th...

We introduce the concept of very true operator on an effect algebra. Although an effect algebra is only partial, we define it in the way which is in accordance with traditional definitions in residuated lattices or basic algebras. This is possible if we require monotonicity as an additional condition. We prove that very true operators on effect algebras can be characterized by means of certain ...

In this chapter we survey some developments in topological duality theory and the theory of completions for lattices with additional operations paying special attention to various classes of residuated lattices which play a central role in substructural logic. We hope this chapter will serve as an introduction and invitation to these subjects for researchers and students interested in residuate...

In this paper, we introduce a new algebra called ‘EQ-algebra’, which is an alternative algebra of truth values for formal fuzzy logics. It is specified by replacing implication as the main operation with a fuzzy equality. Namely, EQ-algebra is a semilattice endowed with a binary operation of fuzzy equality and a binary operation of multiplication. Implication is derived from the fuzzy equality ...

This paper concerns residuated lattice-ordered idempotent commutative monoids that are subdirect products of chains. An algebra of this kind is a generalized Sugihara monoid (GSM) if it is generated by the lower bounds of the monoid identity; it is a Sugihara monoid if it has a compatible involution ¬. Our main theorem establishes a category equivalence between GSMs and relative Stone algebras ...

A generalized BL-algebra (or GBL-algebra for short) is a residuated lattice that satisfies the identities x ∧ y = ((x ∧ y)/y)y = y(y\(x∧ y)). It is shown that all finite GBL-algebras are commutative, hence they can be constructed by iterating ordinal sums and direct products of Wajsberg hoops. We also observe that the idempotents in a GBL-algebra form a subalgebra of elements that commute with ...
