On the category of hyper MV‐algebras

In this paper we study the category of hyper MV‐algebras and we prove that it has a terminal object and a coequalizer. We show that Jia's construction can be modified to provide a free hyper MV‐algebra by a set. We use this to show that in the category of hyper MV‐algebras the monomorphisms are exactly the one‐to‐one homomorphisms. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Hyper‐Archimedean BL‐algebras are MV‐algebras

Generalizations of Boolean elements of a BL‐algebra L are studied. By utilizing the MV‐center MV(L) of L, it is reproved that an element x ∈ L is Boolean iff x ∨ x * = 1 . L is called semi‐Boolean if for all x ∈ L, x * is Boolean. An MV‐algebra L is semi‐Boolean iff L is a Boolean algebra. A BL‐algebra L is semi‐Boolean iff L is an SBL‐algebra. A BL‐algebra L is called hyper‐Archimedean if for all x ∈ L, xⁿ is Boolean for some finite n ≥ 1. It is proved that hyper‐Archimedean BL‐algebras are MV‐algebras. The study has application in mathematical fuzzy logics whose Lindenbaum algebras are MV‐algebras or BL‐algebras. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Representations of MV‐algebras by sheaves

In this paper, inspired by methods of Bigard, Keimel, and Wolfenstein ([2]), we develop an approach to sheaf representations of MV‐algebras which combines two techniques for the representation of MV‐algebras devised by Filipoiu and Georgescu ([18]) and by Dubuc and Poveda ([16]). Following Davey approach ([12]), we use a subdirect representation of MV‐algebras that is based on local MV‐algebras. This allowed us to obtain: (a) a representation of any MV‐algebras as MV‐algebra of all global sections of a sheaf of local MV‐algebras on the spectruum of its prime ideals; (b) a representation of MV‐algebras, having the space of minimal prime ideals compact, as MV‐algebra of all global sections of a Hausdorff sheaf of MV‐chains on the space of minimal prime ideals, which is a Stone space; (c) an adjunction between the category of all MV‐algebras and the category of MV‐algebraic spaces, where an MV‐algebraic space is a pair (X, F), where X is a compact topological space and F is a sheaf of MV‐algebras with stalks that are local (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Hyper MV ‐ideals in hyper MV ‐algebras

In this paper we define the hyper operations ?, ∨ and ∧ on a hyper MV ‐algebra and we obtain some related results. After that by considering the notions ofhyper MV ‐ideals and weak hyper MV ‐ideals, we prove some theorems. Then we determine relationships between (weak) hyper MV ‐ideals in a hyper MV ‐algebra (M, ⊕, *, 0) and (weak) hyper K ‐ideals in a hyper K ‐algebra (M, °, 0). Finally we give a characterization of hyper MV ‐algebras of order 3 or 4 based on the (weak) hyper MV ‐ideals (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A discrete representation of free MV‐algebras

We prove that the m ‐generated free MV‐algebra is isomorphic to a quotient of the disjoint union of all the m ‐generated free MV⁽ⁿ⁾‐algebras. Such a quotient can be seen as the direct limit of a system consisting of all free MV⁽ⁿ⁾‐algebras and special maps between them as morphisms (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Fuzzy topology representation for MV‐algebras

Let M be an MV‐algebra and Ω_M be the set of all σ ‐valuations from M into the MV‐unit interval. This paper focuses on the characterization of MV‐algebras using σ ‐valuations of MV‐algebras and proves that a σ ‐complete MV‐algebra is σ ‐regular, which means that a ≤ b if and only if v (a) ≤ v (b) for any v ∈ Ω_M. Then one can introduce in a natural way a fuzzy topology δ on Ω_M. The representation theorem forMV‐algebras is established by means of fuzzy topology. Some properties of fuzzy topology δ and its cut topology U are investigated (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Universal Classes of MV‐chains with Applications to Many‐valued Logics

In this paper we characterize, classify and axiomatize all universal classes of MV‐chains. Moreover, we accomplish analogous characterization, classification and axiomatization for congruence distributive quasivarieties of MV‐algebras. Finally, we apply those results to study some finitary extensions of the Łukasiewicz infinite valued propositional calculus.     

Commutative rings whose ideals form an MV‐algebra

In this work we introduce a class of commutative rings whose defining condition is that its lattice of ideals, augmented with the ideal product, the semi‐ring of ideals, is isomorphic to an MV‐algebra. This class of rings coincides with the class of commutative rings which are direct sums of local Artinian chain rings with unit (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The semi‐iterative method applied to the hyper‐power iteration

The semi‐iterative method (SIM) is applied to the hyper‐power (HP) iteration, and necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the convergence of the semi‐iterative–hyper‐power (SIM–HP) iteration. The root convergence rate is computed for both the HP and SIM–HP methods, and the quotient convergence rate is given for the HP iteration. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On hyper‐torre isols

In this paper we present a contribution to a classical result of E. Ellentuck in the theory of regressive isols. E. Ellentuck introduced the concept of a hyper‐torre isol, established their existence for regressive isols, and then proved that associated with these isols a special kind of semi‐ring of isols is a model of the true universal‐recursive statements of arithmetic. This result took on an added significance when it was later shown that for regressive isols, the property of being hyper‐torre is equivalent to being hereditarily odd‐even. In this paper we present a simplification to the original proof for establishing that equivalence. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Implicative hyper <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-algebras

In this note we first define the notions of (weak, strong) implicative hyper K-algebras. Then we show by examples that these notions are different. After that we state and prove some theorems which determine the relationship between these notions and (weak) hyper K-ideals. Also we obtain some relations between these notions and (weak) implicative hyper K-ideals. Finally, we study the implicative hyper K-algebras of order 3, in particular we obtain a relationship between the positive implicative hyper K-algebras and (weak, strong) implicative hyper K-algebras under a simple condition.     

Categorical Abstract Algebraic Logic: Algebraic Semantics for (\documentclass{article}\usepackage{amssymb}\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}$\bf{\pi }$\end{document})‐Institutions

Various aspects of the work of Blok and Rebagliato on the algebraic semantics for deductive systems are studied in the context of logics formalized as π‐institutions. Three kinds of semantics are surveyed: institution, matrix (system) and algebraic (system) semantics, corresponding, respectively, to the generalized matrix, matrix and algebraic semantics of the theory of sentential logics. After some connections between matrix and algebraic semantics are revealed, it is shown that every (finitary) N‐rule based extension of an N‐rule based π‐institution possessing an algebraic semantics also possesses an algebraic semantics. This result abstracts one of the main theorems of Blok and Rebagliato. An attempt at a Blok‐Rebagliato‐style characterization of those π‐institutions with a mono‐unary category of natural transformations on their sentence functors having an algebraic semantics is also made. Finally, a necessary condition for a π‐institution to possess an algebraic semantics is provided.     

On Vaught’s Conjecture and finitely valued MV algebras

We show that the complete first order theory of an MV algebra has $2^{\aleph _0}$ countable models unless the MV algebra is finitely valued. So, Vaught's Conjecture holds for all MV algebras except, possibly, for finitely valued ones. Additionally, we show that the complete theories of finitely valued MV algebras are $2^{\aleph _0}$ and that all ω‐categorical complete theories of MV algebras are finitely axiomatizable and decidable. As a final result we prove that the free algebra on countably many generators of any locally finite variety of MV algebras is ω‐categorical.

Admissible meromorphic solutions of algebraic differential‐difference equations

By using Nevanlinna theory, we generalize a result given by Wittich to complex differential‐difference equations. The result obtained is that the differential‐difference equation in f which is of only one dominant term, has no admissible meromorphic solution f with hyper‐order less than 1 provided N(r,f) = S(r,f).     

ω‐categorical weakly o‐minimal expansions of Boolean lattices

We study ω‐categorical weakly o‐minimal expansions of Boolean lattices. We show that a structure ?? = (A,≤, ?) expanding a Boolean lattice (A,≤) by a finite sequence I of ideals of A closed under the usual Heyting algebra operations is weakly o‐minimal if and only if it is ω‐categorical, and hence if and only if A/I has only finitely many atoms for every I ∈ ?. We propose other related examples of weakly o‐minimal ω‐categorical models in this framework, and we examine the internal structure of these models.     

On (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy filters of R0‐algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy filters and (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy Boolean (implicative) filters in R₀‐algebras and investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized fuzzy filters are derived. In particular, we prove that a fuzzy set in R₀‐algebras is an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy Boolean filter if and only if it is an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy implicative filter. Finally, we consider the concepts of implication‐based fuzzy Boolean (implicative) filters of R₀‐algebras (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Categorical abstract algebraic logic: Gentzen π ‐institutions and the deduction‐detachment property

Given a π ‐institution I , a hierarchy of π ‐institutions I ^{(n )} is constructed, for n ≥ 1. We call I ^{(n )} the n‐th order counterpart of I . The second‐order counterpart of a deductive π ‐institution is a Gentzen π ‐institution, i.e. a π ‐institution associated with a structural Gentzen system in a canonical way. So, by analogy, the second order counterpart I ⁽²⁾ of I is also called the “Gentzenization” of I . In the main result of the paper, it is shown that I is strongly Gentzen , i.e. it is deductively equivalent to its Gentzenization via a special deductive equivalence, if and only if it has the deduction‐detachment property .

Rank‐tolerance graph classes

In this article we introduce certain classes of graphs that generalize ?‐tolerance chain graphs. In a rank‐tolerance representation of a graph, each vertex is assigned two parameters: a rank, which represents the size of that vertex, and a tolerance which represents an allowed extent of conflict with other vertices. Two vertices are adjacent if and only if their joint rank exceeds (or equals) their joint tolerance. This article is concerned with investigating the graph classes that arise from a variety of functions, such as min, max, sum, and prod (product), that may be used as the coupling functions ? and ρ to define the joint tolerance and the joint rank. Our goal is to obtain basic properties of the graph classes from basic properties of the coupling functions. We prove a skew symmetry result that when either ? or ρ is continuous and weakly increasing, the (?,ρ)‐representable graphs equal the complements of the (ρ,?)‐representable graphs. In the case where either ? or ρ is Archimedean or dual Archimedean, the class contains all threshold graphs. We also show that, for min, max, sum, prod (product) and, in fact, for any piecewise polynomial ?, there are infinitely many split graphs which fail to be representable. In the reflexive case (where ? = ρ), we show that if ? is nondecreasing, weakly increasing and associative, the class obtained is precisely the threshold graphs. This extends a result of Jacobson, McMorris, and Mulder [10] for the function min to a much wider class, including max, sum, and prod. We also give results for homogeneous functions, powers of sums, and linear combinations of min and max. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory
