By considering the notion of MV-algebras, we recall some results on enumeration of MV-algebras and wecarry out a study on characterization of MV-algebras of orders $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$ and $7$. We obtain that there is one non-isomorphic MV-algebra of orders $2$, $3$, $5$ and $7$ and two non-isomorphic MV-algebras of orders $4$ and $6$.

Hyperbolicity measures, in terms of (distance) metrics, how close a given graph is to being a tree. Due to its relevance in modeling real-world networks, hyperbolicity has seen intensive research over the last years. Unfortunately, the best known algorithms for computing the hyperbolicity number of a graph (the smaller, the more tree-like) have running time O(n), where n is the number of graph ...

An MV-convergence is a convergence on an MV-algebra which renders the operations continuous. We show that such convergences on a given MV-algebra A are exactly the restrictions of the bounded `-convergences on the abelian `-group in which A appears as the unit interval. Thus the theory of `-convergence and Cauchy structures transfers to MV-algebras. We outline the general theory, and then apply...

We derive empirical tests for the mean-variance efficiency of a given portfolio. The tests can be computed using straightforward linear programming, and they give substantial flexibility in modeling the investment possibilities. Using this test, we can reject the hypothesis that the S&P 500 index is mean-variance efficient relative to the 25 Fama and French (1993) equity portfolios. Mean-varian...

An MV-pair is a pair (B, G), where B is a Boolean algebra and G is a subgroup of the automorphism group of B satisfying certain condition. Recently it was proved by one of the authors that for an MV-pair (B, G), ∼G is an effect-algebraic congruence and B/ ∼G is an MV-algebra. Moreover, every MV-algebra M can be represented by an MV-pair in this way. In this paper we show that one can define a s...

We introduce a generalization of MV algebras motivated by the investigations into the structure of quantum logical gates. After laying down the foundations of the structure theory for such quasi-MV algebras, we show that every quasi-MV algebra is embeddable into the direct product of an MV algebra and a "‡at" quasi-MV algebra, and prove a completeness result w.r.t. a standard quasi-MV algebra o...

Flaminio and Montagna (2008) enlarged the language of MV-algebras by a unary operation σ, called internal state or a state operator, equationally defined so as to preserve the basic properties of a state in its usual meaning. The resulting class of MV-algebras is called state MV-algebras. Jenča (2007) and Vetterlein (2008), using different approaches, represented MV-algebras through the quotien...
